Japonês: A Marker of Social Class or a Key Term in the Discourse of Race?
2004
Overview
Since Japanese-Brazilians do not fall into the standard black-white dual model, a new concept of racial categorization is developed, based on ethnographic fieldwork in Sao Paulo & the northern & Amazon areas. Japanese-Brazilians first arrived in the early 20th century when skin-color stratification was already pronounced. They have experienced racial discrimination ever since, even though they have been able to achieve economic success & move up in social class. The Japanese-Brazilians suffered in the mid-1930s, when the teaching of foreign languages was banned, & during WWII. Japanese-Brazilians are disproportionately educated & known for their management skills. Japanese-Brazilians who returned to Japan since the 1980s in search of better jobs have been treated as foreigners & have experienced discrimination there. Diasporic racialization, ie, treatment as a stranger by both host & ancestor nation, is discussed; it is more dynamic & complex than racism. 1 Table, 75 References. M. Pflum
