But what happens when Japanese Americans, born and raised in the United States, are the ones living abroad in Japan? Redefining Japaneseness chronicles how Japanese American migrants to Japan navigate and complicate the categories of Japanese and "foreigner." Drawing from extensive interviews and fieldwork in the Tokyo area, Jane H. Yamashiro tracks the multiple ways these migrants strategically negotiate and interpret their daily interactions. Following a diverse group of subjects-some of only Japanese ancestry and others of mixed heritage, some fluent in Japanese and others struggling with the language, some from Hawaii and others from the US continent-her study reveals wide variations in how Japanese Americans perceive both Japaneseness and Americanness. Making an important contribution to both Asian American studies and scholarship on transnational migration, Redefining Japaneseness critically interrogates the common assumption that people of Japanese ancestry identify as members of a global diaspora. Furthermore, through its close examination of subjects who migrate from one highly-industrialized nation to another, it dramatically expands our picture of the migrant experience. 410 0$aAsian American studies today. 606 $aTransnationalism$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aTransnationalism$xSocial aspects$zJapan 606 $aEthnicity$zJapan 606 $aNational characteristics, Japanese 606 $aJapanese Americans$xMigrations 606 $aJapanese Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aJapanese Americans$zJapan$xEthnic identity 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aJapan$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aJapan$xEthnic relations 615 0$aTransnationalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTransnationalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEthnicity 615 0$aNational characteristics, Japanese. 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xMigrations. 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xEthnic identity. 676 $a305.8956/073 700 $aYamashiro$b Jane H.$01653171 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826289503321 996 $aRedefining Japaneseness$94004308 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$125.00$u10/22/2018$5Hist
