Mexican Transpacific: Nikkei Writing, Visual Arts, and Performance
by López-Calvo, Ignacio
$42.25
Description
The Mexican Transpacific considers the influence of a Japanese ethnic background or lack thereof in the cultural production of several twentieth- and twenty-first-century Mexican authors, performers, and visual artists. Despite Japanese Mexicans' unquestionable influence on Mexico's history and culture and the historical studies recently published on this Nikkei community, the study of its cultural production and therefore its self-definition has been, for the most part, overlooked.
This book, a continuation of author Ignacio López-Calvo's previous research on cultural production by Latin American authors of Asian ancestry, focuses mostly on literature, theater, and visual arts produced by Japanese immigrants in Mexico and their descendants, rather than on the Japanese community as a mere object of study. With this interdisciplinary project, López-Calvo aims to bring to the fore this silenced community's voice and agency to historicize its own experience.
