{"product_id":"japanese-diaspora-and-migration-reconsidered-yvonne-siemann-9781032132433","title":"Japanese Diaspora and Migration Reconsidered","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to most studies of migration, which assume that migrants arrive from less developed countries to the industrialised world, where they suffer from discrimination, poor living conditions and downward social mobility, this book examines a different sort of diaspora - descendants of Japanese migrants or \"Nikkei\" - in Bolivia, who, after a history of organised migration, have achieved middle-class status in a developing country, while enjoying much symbolic capital among the majority population. Based on extensive original research, the book considers the everyday lives of Nikkei and their identity, discusses how despite their relative success they remain not fully integrated into Bolivia's imperfect pluricultural society and explores how they think about, and relate to, Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yvonne Siemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032132434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032132433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Yvonne Siemann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128023019775,"sku":"9781032132433","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4869414-b49f-45db-8963-d6b36ab1dc3d.jpg?v=1687456523","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japanese-diaspora-and-migration-reconsidered-yvonne-siemann-9781032132433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
