In the only English-language book on the subject, Andrea Geiger examines the history of these and other Japanese immigrants in the United States and Canada and their encounters with two separate cultures of exclusion, one based in caste and the other in race.Geiger reveals that the experiences of Japanese immigrants in North America were shaped in part by attitudes rooted in Japan's formal status system, mibunsei, decades after it was formally abolished. In the North American West, however, the immigrants' understanding of social status as caste-based collided with American and Canadian perceptions of status as primarily race-based. Geiger shows how the lingering influence of Japan's strict status system affected immigrants' perceptions and understandings of race in North America and informed their strategic responses to two increasingly complex systems of race-based exclusionary law and policy. 410 0$aLamar series in western history. 606 $aJapanese$zNorth America$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJapanese$zNorth America$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJapanese$zNorth America$xSocial conditions 606 $aRacism$zNorth America$xHistory 606 $aBoundaries$xSocial aspects$zNorth America$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aBritish Columbia$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aJapan$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aNorth America$xRace relations 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRacism$xHistory. 615 0$aBoundaries$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a305.80097 700 $aGeiger$b Andrea A.
