Summary
Based on her research in Brazil and Japan, Mieko Nishida challenges the essentialized categories of 'the Japanese' in Brazil and 'Brazilians' in Japan, with special emphasis on gender. Nishida deftly argues that Japanese Brazilian identity has never been a static, fixed set of traits that can be counted and inventoried. Rather it is about being and becoming, a process of identity in motion
