Who We Are
From March 14 -26 we traveled to
Japan as a field research component of our Connecticut College
history course entitled Transnational Brazil / Multi-Cultural
Japan. After three days of seminars with Japanese Latin Americanists
at the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, we traveled two hours
north west of Tokyo to our main research site - the town of Oizumi
(in the Gunman prefecture). We spent the first portion of our
semester researching archival material on Japanese-Brazilian and
Japanese-Peruvian re-emigration to Japan We researched for a week,
speaking, playing, eating and capturing a piece of the Nikkei
experience. We interviewed and interacted with the Brazilians
and Peruvians in Oizumi, and kept in mind how we, as researchers,
are part of the transnational equation.
