“This important volume offers a deeper understanding of the literary and cultural production by and about Nikkeijin. The chapters not only explore novels, short stories, poems and art but also a telenovela and are written by a group of intergenerational scholars. An essential book to those who want to understand the historical, literary, cultural, and social relations between Latin America and Japan in a way that is striking, unique, and academically robust.” — Araceli Tinajero, The City College of New York and the Graduate Center, USA.
