Miyake [FNdl1 Copyright © 2002 by Asian Law Journal, Inc.; Lika C. Miyake The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II has been well discussed by scholars, but few remember or even know about the internment of Japanese Peruvians in the U.S. This note examines the history of the Japanese Peruvian internment, focusing on the U.S. government's legal justification for the program and the unjust treatment of the Japanese Peruvians under the U.S. immigration system after the conclusion of the war. The author considers U.S. legal and constitutional theories and cases relevant to the Japanese Peruvian internment and highlights the vulnerability of non-citizens in the U.S. during wartime. In conclusion, the author argues that the U.S. government should grant Japanese Latin Americans reparations equal to that awarded to Japanese Americans. Furthermore, the U.S. government should acknowledge the responsibility to avoid race or nationality-based bias, whether in crafting domestic policy or acting in foreign affairs. INTRODUCTION In no other wartime instance in United States (U.S.) history has the abrogation of individual liberties been more glaring than in the incarceration of ethnic Japanese during World War II. Under the guise of "military necessity," [FNll racist politicians and opportunistic businessmen succeeded in pressuring the U.S. government to remove the Japanese population from the U.S.'s west coast.

  • Witness to Sovereignty. Essays on the Indian Movement in Latin America
    1 WITNESS TO SOVEREIGNTY. ESSAYS ON THE INDIAN MOVEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA . Manuscript submitted for publication to The University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Oklahoma. December, 2003 Introduction in the Guise of a Story The Journey This book has the shape of a spiral. In it I visit, circle, revisit, and intertwine themes and issues related to the centuries -long struggle of the indigenous peoples of Latin America to survive, retain their independence, gain autonomy, and achieve higher levels of ethnic sovereignty. The writings travel a spiral path in time and places that bega n more than four decades ago in Peru where I had landed as a young immigrant following the footpath of my Italian father. There, in the northern Sechura desert, in the Central Andes, and later in the jungle valley of the Huallaga river in the company of my father, I literally discovered the awesome and startling beauty of the cultural “other”: the Indians. The incipient fascination and intrigue for indigenous exoticism did not last too long, however. It came to a sudden halt during a trip to an hacienda owned by the Church in the southern Andean region of Cusco. Poverty, hunger, exploitation, humiliation, oppression, and discrimination became soon the indelible signs of being an Indian in Peru. To the initial stage of seduction by illusory Indian exoticis m belongs my first published article describing indigenous back -strap looms (Varese 1963 -64), followed by a booklet for high -school students on the life and scientific travels in Peru of the nineteenth century Italian naturalist Antonio Raimondi (Varese 1965).

This ship carried industrial and artisanal products, and numerous artworks by commercially successful but aesthetically conservative Italian artists. The Italia aimed to establish commercial partnerships with the emerging markets of Latin America, and to extend the political influence of Italy across the Atlantic. To do so, the organizers emphasized the concept of latinità, suggesting a common heritage shared by Italy and Latin America. This paper analyzes the artistic content of the Italia and how it manifested the ambiguities of Fascism’s project of cultural colonization of Latin America.

Abstract: Together with Cayapas, the Tsachilas constitute the oldest population in the country of Ecuador and, according to some historians, they are the last descendants of the ancient Yumbos. Several anthropological issues underlie the interest towards this peculiar population: the uncertainty of their origin, their belonging to the Barbacoan linguistic family, which is still at the center of an intense linguistic debate, and the relations of their Yumbo ancestors with the Inca invaders who occupied their ancient territory. Our contribution to the knowledge of their complex past was the Citation: Di Corcia, T.; Scano, G.; reconstruction of their genetic maternal and paternal inheritance through the sequencing of 70 entire Martínez-Labarga, C.; Sarno, S.; mitochondrial genomes and the characterization of the non-recombinant region of the Y chromosome De Fanti, S.; Luiselli, D.; Rickards, O.

It uses the period of the war, and the diverse responses to the conflict by immigrants and their institutions of civil society, to highlight patterns of social cohesion and division within Italian overseas communities. It centers its analysis on a pro-war immigrant mobilization influenced by Italian nationalism and an anti-war movement shaped by working-class ideologies that emphasized Internationalism. It therefore considers the tangible connections and sentimental relationships that existed between Italian immigrants in South America and political and intellectual leaders in Italy, a nation-state that existed only from the mid- nineteenth century.

  • Contemporary Italian Novels on Chinese Immigration to Italy
    eScholarship California Italian Studies Title Contemporary Italian Novels on Chinese Immigration to Italy Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0jr1m8k3 Journal California Italian Studies, 4(2) Author Zhang, Gaoheng Publication Date 2013 DOI 10.5070/C342017926 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Contemporary Italian Novels on Chinese Immigration to Italy Gaoheng Zhang Introduction Published in 2006, Roberto Saviano’s best seller, Gomorra: viaggio nell’impero economico e nel sogno di dominio della camorra opens with the macabre image of the frozen cadavers of Chinese immigrants being shipped from Naples to China in containers.1 This is where “i cinesi che non muoiono mai” end up, as Saviano elaborates in an eyewitness account by a crane worker (11). In Gomorra, silence and invisibility, characteristic of Chinese illegality in Naples, are metonymic of the Camorra, the book’s main object of inquiry. The year 2010 saw the publication of another best seller, Edoardo Nesi’s Storia della mia gente: la rabbia e l’amore della mia vita da industriale di provincia, recipient of the prestigious Premio Strega.2 Nesi makes causal links between the failure of the Italian textile industry in Prato and exports from China and Chinese immigrant textile and garment businesses in Italy. The notoriety of these two books is largely owed to their scandalous depictions and sharp criticism of social malfunction in Italy, including political corruption, lack of governmental incentives for enterprises, a vast underground economy, and extensive organized crime. Both authors, and Nesi in particular, account for these social malaises by examining the impacts of Chinese immigration to Italy and Chinese global business.
