However, there is little or no academic research in English that addresses this new immigrant population, known as Shin-Issei. This paper investigates how Shin-Issei who live their lives in a complex space between the two nation-states of Japan and the U.S. negotiate their ethnic identity by looking at how these newcomers find a sense of belonging in Southern California in racial, social, and legal terms. Through an ethnographic approach of in-depth interviews and participant observation with six individuals, this case-study expands the available literature on transnationalism by exploring how Shin-Issei negotiations of identities rely on a transnational understandings of national ideologies of belonging which is a less direct form of transnationalism and is a more psychological, symbolic, and emotional reconciliation of self, encompassed between two worlds.

Page 1 of 28 http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/jah/89.4/azuma.html From The Journal of American History Vol. 89, Issue 4. Viewed December 3, 2003 15:52 EST Presented online in association with the History Cooperative. http://www.historycooperative.org The Politics of Transnational History Making: Japanese Immigrants on the Western 'Frontier,' 1927-1941 Eiichiro Azuma In 1927 Toga Yoichi, a Japanese immigrant in Oakland, California, published a chronological 1 history of what he characterized as 'Japanese development in America.' He explicated the meaning of that history thus: A great nation/race [minzoku] has a [proper] historical background; a nation/race disrespectful of history is doomed to self-destruction. It has been already 70 years since we, the Japanese, marked the first step on American soil. Now Issei [Japanese immigrants] are advancing in years, and the Nisei [the American- born Japanese] era is coming. I believe that it is worthy of having [the second generation] inherit the record of our [immigrant] struggle against oppression and hardships, despite which we have raised our children well and reached the point at which we are now. But, alas, we have very few treatises of our history [to leave behind]. Thirteen years later, a thirteen hundred-page masterpiece entitled Zaibei Nihonjinshi--Toga himself spearheaded the editing--completed that project of history writing.1 Not the work of trained academicians, this synthesis represented the collaboration of many Japanese immigrants, including the self-proclaimed historians who authored it, community leaders who provided subventions, and ordinary Issei residents who offered necessary information or purchased the product.

  • Tsugiki, a Grafting: the Life and Poetry of a Japanese Pioneer Woman in Washington Columbia Magazine, Spring 2005: Vol
    Tsugiki, a Grafting: The Life and Poetry of a Japanese Pioneer Woman in Washington Columbia Magazine, Spring 2005: Vol. 19, No. 1 By Gail M. Nomura In the imagination of most of us, the pioneer woman is represented by a sunbonneted Caucasian traveling westward on the American Plains. Few are aware of the pioneer women who crossed the Pacific Ocean east to America from Japan. Among these Japanese pioneer women were some whose destiny lay in the Pacific Northwest. In Washington, pioneer women from Japan, the Issei or first (immigrant) generation, and their Nisei, second-generation, American-born daughters, made up the largest group of nonwhite ethnic women in the state for most of the first half of the 20th century. These women contributed their labor in agriculture and small businesses to help develop the state’s economy. Moreover, they were essential to the establishment of a viable Japanese American community in Washington. Yet, little is known of the history of these women. What follows is the story of one Japanese pioneer woman, Teiko Tomita. An examination of her life offers insight into the historical experience of other Japanese pioneer women in Washington. Beyond an oral history obtained through interviews, Tomita’s experience is illumined by the rich legacy of tanka poems she wrote since she was a high school girl in Japan. The tanka written by Tomita served as a form of journal for her, a way of expressing her innermost thoughts as she became part of America. Indeed, Tsugiki, the title Tomita gave her section of a poetry anthology, meaning a grafting or a grafted tree, reflects her vision of a Japanese American grafted community rooting itself in Washington through the pioneering experiences of women like herself.

    PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO USE WHEN TALKING ABOUT RACE: WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW BUT DIDN’T WANT TO ASK VANESSA GONLIN, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SAMUEL DEWITT PROCTOR INSTITUTE for Leadership, Equity, & Justice PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO USE WHEN TALKING ABOUT RACE: WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW BUT DIDN’T WANT TO ASK PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO USE WHEN TALKING ABOUT RACE: WHAT YOU WANTED TO KNOW BUT DIDN’T WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE AUTHOR VANESSA GONLIN Vanessa Gonlin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Georgia. Her research and teaching areas explore racial discrimination, colorism, racial identity(ies), interracial relationships, and social demography. Race is the elephant in the room on our campuses across the United States. As necessary conversations take place in the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the insurrection at the Capitol building by White supremacists, we, as educators, must nurture learning about race – including how and why to use certain words when talking about race. On the second day of my Race and Ethnicity in America course, I teach undergraduates the rationale behind and significance of language choices we make when referring to various racial groups. Following the class, I often receive an outpouring of emails from students expressing their appreciation for the opportunity to learn something that so many feel they are expected to know and are therefore too afraid to ask about. This document features what I shared with them. INDIGENOUS PEOPLES There are numerous tribal communities and bands of people across the continent that may fall under the category of Indigenous peoples, including Native Americans or American Indians & Alaska Natives (AIAN), Pacific Islanders, Native Hawaiians, First Nations peoples, and/or Natives.

Thank you does not suffice for the amount of time, advice, and guidance she invested in me. I want to thank Mari Yoshihara and Elizabeth Colwill who offered feedback on multiple chapter drafts. Brandy Nālani McDougall always posited thoughtful questions that challenged me to see my project at various angles, and Ruth Hsu’s mentorship and course on Asian American literature helped to foster my early dissertation ideas. Along the way, I received invaluable assistance from the archive librarians at the University of Riverside, University of Calgary, and the Margaret Herrick Library in the Beverly Hills Motion Picture Museum. I am indebted to American Studies Department at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa for its support including the professors from whom I had the privilege of taking classes and shaping early iterations of my dissertation and the staff who shepherded me through the process and paperwork.

It is a narrow strip of land that stretches 1500 miles from west to east, and 1000 miles north to south, bordering both Mongolia and Russia. Indigenous Mongolians make up about 18 per cent of the population, which is predominantly Han Chinese. Although three quarters of the Mongolian population live in cities, the grasslands endure as symbols of traditional Mongolian values. Yurts (gers in Mongolian language), traditionally made of felt cloth over a wooden framework, persist as nostalgic icons of nomadic Mongolian lifestyle.
