It provides a detailed history of Japanese-language bookstores, serialized newspaper fiction, original creative works, and critical apparatuses that existed in Brazil prior to World War II. This case study of the reading and writing of one diasporic population challenges the dominant mode of literary study, in which texts are often explicitly or implicitly understood through a framework of ethno-nationalism. Self-representations by writers in the diaspora reveal flaws in this prevailing framework through what Edward Mack calls "acquired alterity," in which expectations about the stability of ethnic identity are subverted in surprising ways. Acquired Alterity encourages a reconsideration of the ramifications (and motivations) of cultural analyses of texts and the constructions of peoplehood that are often the true objects of literary knowledge production. 410 $aNew Interventions in Japanese Studies 606 $aHistory / Asia / Japan$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Collections / Asian / Japanese$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterary Criticism / Asian / Japanese$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / Asia / Japan 615 7$aLiterary Collections / Asian / Japanese 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / Asian / Japanese 615 0$aHistory 676 $a981/.61 700 $aMack$b Edward$01224593 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996472045303316 996 $aAcquired Alterity$92843158 997 $aUNISA
