  • Latin Heart, Korean Yeong-Ung Roughly 920,000 Koreans Were
    Latin Heart, Korean Yeong-Ung Roughly 920,000 Koreans were born outside of the East Asian peninsula nation they call home. This haunting message opened documentarian and film director Joseph Juhn’s 2019 piece titled Jeronimo. Those words also established the tone of mystery and incognito the rest of the ​ ​ film wore in its descriptions of Korea’s painful history -- including its independence and division. Underlying the bigger picture of Korean diaspora, the movie tells the story of its eponymous farmer-turned-political activist, and how Jeronimo Lim Kim became a defining figure in the timeline of Korean society as a secret weapon. Above all, Juhn’s mind-bending and fascinating documentary showed the world how impactful Koreans were in the shaping of recent events in global history. In order to understand Jeronimo’s journey and Korean diaspora during the 20th Century, much historical context is needed. The story began in Hawaii, where in two years’ time, the island chain’s Korean population increased 70 times over, due to Korea’s tumultuous political atmosphere at the time. In 2010, Japan officially annexed Korea after decades of escalating Korean political and economic integration into Japanese control. Thousands of Koreans secretly travelled to the Caribbean, assuming its living environment was extremely similar to America’s. The documentary corroborated this scenario by showing photographs of misleading newspaper clippings that advertised farming jobs in Cuba. Cheontaek Lim, Jeronimo’s father, was one Korean who moved from Mexico to Cuba after withstanding unbearable conditions in the former, but the Henequen farms didn’t prove to be much more favorable.

  • History of Japanese Cubans (On the Isle of Youth) Column
    Column History of Japanese Cubans (on the Isle of Youth) —From Country Assistance Evaluation of Cuba — The Isle of Youth (Isla de la Juventud in Spanish) is an island located approximately 100 km south of the main Island of Cuba, a trip of about 30 minutes by air, and with a population of about 80,000. The island thrived mainly on production of sugar cane in the early 20th century and is now producing rice as well as fruits and vegetables. In view of its rich natural environment, which is said to have inspired Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson to write his novel Treasure Island, along with beautiful dive spots that are famous internationally, there have been growing expectations for expansion of its tourism business. Of the 1,000 Japanese Cubans living in Cuba, about 300 dwell on the island. The evaluation team visited the island as part of its field survey to explore the history of Japanese Cubans and review the implementation status of Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects. Immigration of Japanese people to Cuba began in 1908, with the first settler, Masaru Miyagi, from Okinawa Prefecture. There was an influx of Japanese immigrants from Japan and from the continents of North and South America during the period from 1919 to the mid-1930s, reaching its peak in around 1926. Immigration of Japanese people did not occur for about five decades from 1936 to 1998. Immigrants and their descendants (“Nikkei” people) celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2008. Five gen- erations of Nikkei people are now living on the Isle of Youth, including Mr.

In this regard, the city of Trinidad provides a vantage point to analyze heritage practices and the tourism economy.

  • Annual Report on Japan's ODA Evaluation 2013
    Annual Report on Japan’s ODA Evaluation 2013 Ministry of Foreign Affairs Annual Report on Japan’s ODA Evaluation 2013 Ministry of Foreign Affairs Preface At the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session convened in September 2013 Tokyo was elected as the host city of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020. Tokyo’s election reflected such factors as the enthusiastic bidding activities undertaken by involved parties, the financial stability of Tokyo and Japan as well as strong program implementation capabilities. However, I believe the underlying reason Tokyo was chosen is the trust for Japan from countries around the world. Japan’s sincere implementation of international cooperation over long years has made a major contribution to forging solid bonds with these nations. At the IOC Session, Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe clearly stated his intention to promote the “Sports for Tomorrow” program, an initiative to support the nurturing of sports cultures in developing countries under the principle of “Make the world a better place through the power of sports.” Japan will also promote international cooperation in the field of sports in the run-up to the Tokyo Olympics seven years from now. Recently, Japan’s economy appears to be moving toward improvement. Nonetheless, Japan still faces harsh economic and fiscal circumstances, and in implementing ODA, it is thus essential to gain the understanding of the nation’s citizens, who are the taxpayers. With this in mind, even greater efforts are needed to implement ODA more efficiently and effectively within a limited budget. At the same time, it will also be extremely crucial to firmly ensure the transparency of ODA and fulfill accountability.

  • Japanese and Okinawan Cubans
    CHAPTER 25 Japanese and Okinawan Cubans Ryan Masaaki Yokota, M.A Abstract: This article considers the complex history of the Japanese and Okinawan migrants to Cuba, beginning with their secondary migration to Cuba, often as an attempt to circumvent restrictive racially exclusionary immigration laws in the United States. Though some of these immigrant families were able to succeed and build other businesses, the majority continued to work in agriculture-related industries until World War II, when the U.S.-supported Batista administration placed 341, mostly male, Japanese and Oki- nawans in the Presidio Modelo prison on the Isle of Youth. Despite the immense privation forced on both the prisoners and their families, many sought to rebuild their lives in their adopted homelands following the end of the war. As discontent with the government con- tinued to grow in the 1950s, some Japanese and Okinawans actively supported the revolu- tionary movement, and following the Cuban Revolution, Japanese and Okinawan revolutionary work collectives played an important role in supporting agricultural devel- opment in Cuba. Today, though time and intermarriage have impacted the community, a number of groups have continued to work to reinvigorate a sense of heritage and identity amongst the younger generations. Despite the fact that few people would associate Cuba with Japan, a small but significant Japanese and Okinawan1 population has continued to make its home in Cuba through the 20th century, contributing to its multiracial and multicultural mix. Following upon earlier Chinese migratory waves, growing demand for laborers after the end of slavery combined with the 1. Though technically a part of Japan today, modern-day Okinawa Prefecture was for- merly an independent state known as the Ryukyu Kingdom before Japan forcibly colo- nized it in 1879.

    LETTER TO MY CHILDREN Cuba 1951 “The heart of diaspora is pain.” LOGLINE It's 1905: 2-year old Lim Cheon Taek and his mother migrate from Korea to Mexico and then Cuba. Lim Cheon Taek yearns to go back to Korea but over his lifetime begins to reflect what homeland means to him – and what it might mean to his descendants. ABOUT THE FILM Director: Joseph Juhn Genre: Documentary Short Production Company: Diaspora Film Production, LLC Production Countries: Cuba, South Korea, USA Filming Locations: Cuba, South Korea, USA Languages: Spanish, Korean, English Subtitles: English Length: 15:00 min Port of Incheon, Korea, early 20th century. TECHNICAL DATA Picture Format: Color + B&W Aspect Ratio: 1.78 (16x9 Video) Shooting Format: HDV DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT “Letter to My Children” developed as an independent project from a feature- length documentary on Korean Cubans (Jeronimo, currently in production). We felt strongly that Lim Cheon Taek – who migrates to Mexico aged 2, moves to Cuba as a newly-wed sixteen years later, raises a family of nine children through poverty and discrimination as an ethnic minority and lives through historical moments like the Cuban Revolution and the Korean War, both from near and afar – deserved to have his story told in a short film of his own.” ∼ Joseph Juhn ∼ DIRECTOR Joseph Juhn CONTACT [email protected] JERONIMO +1.315-706-6734 Based in New York.

  • The Sino-Soviet Struggle in the World Communist Movement Since Khrushchev's Fall (Part 3)

The paper attempts to describe the principal public and private dealings between the CPSU and the CCP through- out this period; the dealings of each of the two antagonists with the most important parties of the world movement; the dealings of many of those other parties with each other, and the effect of their interests on the policies of the Soviet and Chinese parties; the role played by the evolution of Sovret * policy toward the United States in the Sino-Soviet eruggle for influence over the Communist movement; and the role played by the internal life of the Soviet and Chinese parties on the course the Sino- Soviet struggle has followed since Khrushchev's fall. The paper is organized in three parts,.published separately as ESAU XXXIV, XXXV, and XXXVI. Part I describes the shift in the emphasis of CPSU policy in the first six months after Khrushchev's fall to- ward a more vigorous appeal to the interests Of all those parties--such as the North Vietnamese--hitherto inclined toward the Chinese and having a special, private vested interest in militant struggle against the United States.
