{"product_id":"jesus-loves-japan-suma-ikeuchi-9781503609341","title":"Jesus Loves Japan: Return Migration and Global Pentecostalism in a Brazilian Diaspora","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter the introduction of the \"long-term resident\" visa, the mass-migration of Nikkeis (Japanese Brazilians) has led to roughly 190,000 Brazilian nationals living in Japan. While the ancestry-based visa confers Nikkeis' right to settlement virtually as a right of blood, their ethnic ambiguity and working-class profile often prevent them from feeling at home in their supposed ethnic homeland. In response, many have converted to Pentecostalism, reflecting the explosive trend across Latin America since the 1970s. \u003ci\u003eJesus Loves Japan\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rare window into lives at the crossroads of return migration and global Pentecostalism. Suma Ikeuchi argues that charismatic Christianity appeals to Nikkei migrants as a \"third culture\"--one that transcends ethno-national boundaries and offers a way out of a reality marked by stagnant national indifference. \u003ci\u003eJesus Loves Japan\u003c\/i\u003e insightfully describes the political process of homecoming through the lens of religion, and the ubiquitous figure of the migrant as the pilgrim of a transnational future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suma Ikeuchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503609340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503609341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Suma Ikeuchi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994249527551,"sku":"9781503609341","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76c79fee-1ee5-4f32-8697-c9d763b0d82b.jpg?v=1683329018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesus-loves-japan-suma-ikeuchi-9781503609341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
