Frequently abandoned by their homeland, and experiencing alienation in their host nations, the diaspora have attempted to carve out lives between two worlds. Examining \u003cem\u003eNikkei\u003c\/em\u003e communities and Japanese migration to Manchuria, China, Canada, the Philippines, Singapore and Latin America, the book compares \u003cem\u003eNikkei\u003c\/em\u003e experiences with those of Japanese transnational migrants living abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors connect theoretical issues of ethnic identity with the Japanese and \u003cem\u003eNikkei\u003c\/em\u003e cases, analyzing the hidden dynamics of the social construction of race, ethnicity and homeland, and suggesting some of the ways in which diasporas are transforming global society today.
