By 1910, nearly ten thousand had settled in Mexico. Over time, they found work, put down roots, and raised families. But until now, very little has been written about their lives. Looking Like the Enemy is the first English-language history of the Japanese experience in Mexico. Japanese citizens were initially lured to Mexico with promises of cheap and productive land in Chiapas. Many of the promises were false, and the immigrants were forced to fan out across the country, especially to the borderlands along the United States. As Jerry Garci;a reveals, they were victims of discrimination based on "difference," but they also displayed "markers of whiteness" that linked them positively to Europeans and Americans, who were perceived as powerful and socially advanced. And, Garci;a reports, many Mexicans looked favorably on the Japanese as hardworking and family-centered. The book delves deeply into the experiences of the Japanese on both sides of the border during World War II, illuminating the similarities and differences in their treatment. Although some Japanese Mexicans were eventually interned (at the urging of the US government), in general the fear and vitriol that Japanese Americans encountered never reached the same levels in Mexico. Looking Like the Enemy is an ambitious study of a tumultuous half-century in Mexico. It is a significant contribution to our understanding of the immigrant experience in the Western Hemisphere and to the burgeoning field of borderlands studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJapanese$zMexico$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJapanese$zMexico$xEthnic identity 606 $aJapanese$zMexico$xForced removal and internment, 1942-1945 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects$zMexico 607 $aMexico$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zMexico 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aJapanese$xForced removal and internment, 1942-1945. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects 676 $a327.7207309/04 686 $aHIS025000$2bisacsh 700 $aGarci?a$b Jerry$f1963-$01671952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806230803321 996 $aLooking like the enemy$94034910 997 $aUNINA
