A identidade étnica dos jovens brasileiros no Japão

Abstract

The dekassegui movement of Japanese-Brazilians from Brazil to Japan caused changes in the migration trajectory from Japan to Brazil, and the need to rethink the concept of Japanese ethnic identity created in Brazil. Many Japanese-Brazilians consider themselves to be “Japanese” as they are considered by Brazilian society. However, in Japan they are received as foreigners, despite their Japanese background. 25 years since moving to Japan, their children, born and raised in Japanese society, have a “Brazilian” ethnic identity experience that is similar to what their ancestors faced in Brazil.
