The author pays particular attention to gender, generation, and class, and to structures besides work such as family, education, and religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiving Transnationally between Japan and Brazil: Routes Beyond Roots makes an important contribution to the study of ethnicity and diaspora by interpreting ‘transnational living’ as a series of processes that create attachments across multiple borders—national, personal, and cultural. Sarah LeBaron von Baeyer’s fieldwork in Japan and Brazil demonstrates an insightful ethnographic lens. Her focus on three families and her astute analysis of identity expressions in foodways, dress, and leisure activities illustrates shifting identities among Japanese-Brazilians. This study teaches readers that living transnationally means many things at the same time and thus rejects essentialist claims about migrants and their lives. -- Jeffrey Lesser, Emory University, Emory University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: The Silvas: Life between Japan and Brazil Chapter Two: Working-Class Jobs, Middle-Class Desires Chapter Three: The Matsudas: Becoming Japanese Chapter Four: Learning to Labor or Leave Chapter Five: The Pereiras: Back to Brazil Chapter Six: Faith in God","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040832651607,"sku":"9781498580366","price":81.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498580366.jpg?v=1750947993","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/living-transnationally-between-japan-and-brazil-9781498580366","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
