I am forever grateful for the guidance, patience, and encouragement I have received from Dr. Alfredo Mirandé, Dr. Scott Brooks, and Dr. Lane Hirabayashi. I would like to recognize Dr. Alfredo Mirandé for his unwavering support throughout my entire graduate student experience. The lessons I have learned from him exceed far beyond the realm of academia. I am grateful to him for serving as my committee chair and allowing me the flexibility necessary to accomplish this life long dream, and thanks for serving as a great role model. Dr. Scott Brooks always provided very insightful analysis to my work, and challenged me to look at my theories and data from different angles. I will always remember our conversation after my oral defense, and remember how fortunate I have been to have had the support of such an intelligent and understanding mentor. Lastly, I find myself in colossal debt to Dr. Lane Hirabayashi. He provided the expertise necessary and managed to guide my dissertation to the right place while simultaneously allowing me to retain the freedom and authority to develop and express my own ideas. His understanding and support catapulted me out of the most difficult episodes in this writing process, and for that, I am forever grateful. Also, I would like to thank Dr. Ellen Reese and Dr. Edna Bonacich for being model professors and arguably the main reasons why I decided to study sociology at a graduate level. iv DEDICATION This thesis is, first and foremost, dedicated to my grandfather, Julio Jikko Tsuha (R.I.P.). Thank you, Ojii, for having the vision, strength, courage and work ethic to bring our entire family to Los Angeles. I have often thought about you during the development of this project, especially during the most difficult parts to help me find the strength to continue moving forward. The pride I take in this work will always be remembered with all your sacrifices. Secondly, I would like to dedicate this to my parents. Nothing bad has ever happened to me in my life. I have had everything I have ever needed and more. For that, I am grateful to you. I am grateful for your love, support, understanding and sacrifices. I am grateful to my dad for always providing a model of responsibility and work ethic, and for my mom making sure I did my homework every night. Thirdly, I would like to dedicate this to my aunt Noemi, my uncle Geber, and my mother. In our family migration to the United States nobody sacrificed more than you three. Without you, none of my accomplishments would have been possible. Fourth, I would like to dedicate this to all my uncles and my aunts who at one point or another played the role of being my parent. It is through your strength that we have remained a united family, and this is the most cherished possession I have. Fifth, I would like to dedicate this to my brothers, my cousins, my friends Jose Perez and Hugo Arias. It is because you that I have never once been concerned with solitude. You have always been there for me. v Lastly, I dedicate this to my fellow graduate students. You were the source of most of my education regarding sociology, justice, and life in general during my time as a graduate student. I honestly have no idea how I would have made it through this whole process without you by my side. For that, I thank you with all my heart. vi ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Stacked Bar Model: Japanese-Peruvians’ National Ethnic Identities Across Peru, Japan and the United States of America by Shigueru Julio Tsuha Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Sociology University of California, Riverside, December 2011 Dr. Alfredo Mirandé, Chairperson This project has two intertwined goals: 1) to understand the formation of Japanese- Peruvians’ national ethnic identities across Peru, Japan, and the United States of America, by analyzing data from 40-indepth interviews with Japanese-Peruvians living the United States, and 2) to develop and explain the Stacked Bar Model of Ethnicities and Ethnic Identities as a new analytical system by which to understand the national ethnic identities of migrants. In order to do this, Japanese-Peruvians’ ethnic identities are treated as working outside of a zero-sum context and shown to function as multiple ordinal variables that can grow and shrink independently of each other. National ethnic requirements and ethnic othering qualifiers are then identified as ideal types of ethnic traits that govern the identities that are restricted and made available to Japanese- Peruvians in each country. vii Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction…………………………………………………………1 Goals………………………………………………………………………1 Sample and Methods………………………………………………………6 Migration to Peru and Peru’s Racial Formation…………………………..7 Return migration to Japan and Japan’s Racial Formation……………….13 Migration to the United States and the United States’ Racial Formation………………………………………………………………...25 Defining Ethnicity………………………………………………………..29 Review on Theories of Ethnicity and Nation…………………………….34 Organization of Chapters………………………………………………...44 Chapter 2: Emergence of the Stacked Bar Model of Ethnicity and Ethnic Identity…………………………………………………………………………..46 Principle 1: Rejection of the Pie-Chart-Mentality……………………….46 Principle 2: Treatment of Ethnicities and Ethnic Identities as Ordinal Variables…………………………………………………………………58 Principle 3: Four Ideal Types of Ethnic Traits as Building Blocks of the Stacked Bar Model…………………………………………………...61 Principle 4: Understanding the Effects of the Ideal Types of Ethnic Traits on Ethnic Identities………………………………………………..69 Peru, Japan, the United States and the Stacked Bar Model……………...73 Chapter 3: Peru…………………………………………………………………75 Racism……………………………………………………………………75 Agency – Preserving Japanese Ethnic Identity…………………………..91 viii Table 1: Oppositional Definitions of Criollismo and Nikkei Character by Positive and Negative Connotations……………...105 Stacked Bar Model in Peru……………………………………………..108 Chapter 4: Japan……………………………………………………………...117 Racism………………………………………………………………….117 Agency – Developing a Peruvian Identity……………………………...129 Stacked Bar Model in Japan……………………………………………137 Chapter 5: United States……………………………………………………...145 Racism…………………………………………………………………..145 Agency – Ethnic Options……………………………………………….161 Stacked Bar Model in the United States………………………………..179 Chapter 6: Conclusion………………………………………………………...189 Summary of Japanese-Peruvians’ Ethnic Identities as Analyzed Through the Stacked Bar Model………………………………………………….189 What the Future Holds for Japanese-Peruvian Younger Generations….194 Unresolved Issues and Future Studies………………………………….195 Nepantilism and Nikkei Identity………………………………………..202 Conclusion……………………………………………………………...207 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………...208 ix List of Figures Figure 1.1: Iterative Relationship Between Goals of Project……………………..1 Figure 2.1: Pie Chart of a Multi-Ethnic Individuals’ Ethnic Identities…………..55 Figure 2.2: Angel’s Ethnic Identities in Peru and Japan in Pie Charts…………..56 Figure 2.3: Juana’s Ethnic Identities in Peru and U.S. in Pie Charts…………….57 Figure 2.4: Ethnic Identities as Ordinal Variables……………………………….60 Figure 2.5: Ethnic Identities Through Time and Space………………………….61 Figure 2.6: “Full” National Ethnic Composition of Host Society vs. “Partial” Ethnic Composition of Ethnic Minorities………………………………………..65 Figure 2.7: “Full” Othered Ethnic Composition of Ethnic Minorities in a Host Society……………………………………………………………………………68 Figure 2.8: Juxtaposing Ethnic Identity with “Full” and “Partial” Ethnic Compositions…………………………………………………………………….72 Figure 3.1: Peruvian Ethnic Composition in Peru and Peruvian Identity of Japanese-Peruvians……………………………………………………………..108 Figure 3.2: Japanese Ethnic Composition in Peru (and by Peru) and Japanese Identity of Japanese-Peruvians…………………………………………………111 Figure 3.3: Peruvian and Japanese Identities of Japanese-Peruvians…………..115 Figure 4.1: Japanese Ethnic Composition in Japan and Japanese Identity of Japanese-Peruvians……………………………………………………………..137 Figure 4.2: Peruvian Ethnic Composition in Peru vs. Japanese Ethnic Composition in Japan…………………………………………………………...139 Figure 4.3: Peruvian Ethnic Composition in Japan (and by Japan) and Peruvian Identity of Japanese-Peruvians…………………………………………………140 Figure 4.4: Japanese and Peruvian Identities of Japanese-Peruvians in Japan…143 x Figure 5.1: American Ethnic Composition in the U.S. and American Identity of Japanese-Peruvians……………………………………………………………..179 Figure 5.2: “Full” American Identity of Some Japanese-Peruvians Raised in the U.S……………………………………………………………………………...181 Figure 5.3: Peruvian Ethnic Composition in the U.S. (by Americans) and Peruvian Identity of Japanese-Peruvians…………………………………………………182 Figure 5.4:

  • New Age Tourism and Evangelicalism in the 'Last
    NEGOTIATING EVANGELICALISM AND NEW AGE TOURISM THROUGH QUECHUA ONTOLOGIES IN CUZCO, PERU by Guillermo Salas Carreño A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Bruce Mannheim, Chair Professor Judith T. Irvine Professor Paul C. Johnson Professor Webb Keane Professor Marisol de la Cadena, University of California Davis © Guillermo Salas Carreño All rights reserved 2012 To Stéphanie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was able to arrive to its final shape thanks to the support of many throughout its development. First of all I would like to thank the people of the community of Hapu (Paucartambo, Cuzco) who allowed me to stay at their community, participate in their daily life and in their festivities. Many thanks also to those who showed notable patience as well as engagement with a visitor who asked strange and absurd questions in a far from perfect Quechua. Because of the University of Michigan’s Institutional Review Board’s regulations I find myself unable to fully disclose their names. Given their public position of authority that allows me to mention them directly, I deeply thank the directive board of the community through its then president Francisco Apasa and the vice president José Machacca. Beyond the authorities, I particularly want to thank my compadres don Luis and doña Martina, Fabian and Viviana, José and María, Tomas and Florencia, and Francisco and Epifania for the many hours spent in their homes and their fields, sharing their food and daily tasks, and for their kindness in guiding me in Hapu, allowing me to participate in their daily life and answering my many questions.

This diffusion rate easily dwarfs any other G-7 country, including Germany (313), the United Kingdom (352) and the U.S. (233). 45 out of the 120 different newspapers available carry a morning and evening edition. The five largest newspapers each sell more than four million copies daily, more than any of their largest Western counterparts such as Bild in Germany (3.9 mil.), The Sun in the U.K. (2.4 mil.) or USA Today in the U.S.

  • Jorge Basadre's “Peruvian History of Peru,”
    Jorge Basadre’s “Peruvian History of Peru,” or the Poetic Aporia of Historicism Mark Thurner We need a Peruvian history of Peru. By Peruvian history of Peru I mean a history that studies the past of this land from the point of view of the formation of Peru itself. We must insist upon an authentic history ‘of ’ Peru, that is, of Peru as an idea and entity that is born, grows, and develops. The most important personage in Peruvian history is Peru. Jorge Basadre, Meditaciones sobre el destino histórico del Perú Although many gifted historians graced the stage of twentieth-century Peru- vian letters, Jorge Basadre Grohmann (1903 – 1980) was clearly the dominant figure. Today Basadre is universally celebrated as the country’s most sagacious and representative historian, and he is commonly referred to as “our historian of the Republic.” Libraries, avenues, and colleges are named after him. The year 2003 was “The Year of Basadre” in Peru, with nearly every major cultural institution in Lima organizing an event in his honor.1 The National University HAHR editors and the anonymous readers of earlier versions of this article deserve my thanks. Support from the Social Science Research Council, the Fulbright-Hays Program, and the University of Florida is gratefully acknowledged. All translations are mine. 1. There is no systematic work on Basadre, but several Peruvian scholars have reflected upon aspects of his work, and the centennial celebration has prompted the publication of conference proceedings. See Pablo Macera, Conversaciones con Basadre (Lima: Mosca Azul, 1979); Alberto Flores Galindo, “Jorge Basadre o la voluntad de persistir,” Allpanchis 14, no.

  • Matses Indian Rainforest Habitat Classification and Mammalian Diversity in Amazonian Peru
    Journal of Ethnobiology 20(1): 1-36 Summer 2000 MATSES INDIAN RAINFOREST HABITAT CLASSIFICATION AND MAMMALIAN DIVERSITY IN AMAZONIAN PERU DAVID W. FLECK! Department ofEveilltioll, Ecology, alld Organismal Biology Tile Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210-1293 JOHN D. HARDER Oepartmeut ofEvolution, Ecology, and Organismnl Biology Tile Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210-1293 ABSTRACT.- The Matses Indians of northeastern Peru recognize 47 named rainforest habitat types within the G61vez River drainage basin. By combining named vegetative and geomorphological habitat designations, the Matses can distinguish 178 rainforest habitat types. The biological basis of their habitat classification system was evaluated by documenting vegetative ch<lracteristics and mammalian species composition by plot sampling, trapping, and hunting in habitats near the Matses village of Nuevo San Juan. Highly significant (p<:O.OOI) differences in measured vegetation structure parameters were found among 16 sampled Matses-recognized habitat types. Homogeneity of the distribution of palm species (n=20) over the 16 sampled habitat types was rejected. Captures of small mammals in 10 Matses-rc<:ognized habitats revealed a non-random distribution in species of marsupials (n=6) and small rodents (n=13). Mammal sighlings and signs recorded while hunting with the Matses suggest that some species of mammals have a sufficiently strong preference for certain habitat types so as to make hunting more efficient by concentrating search effort for these species in specific habitat types. Differences in vegetation structure, palm species composition, and occurrence of small mammals demonstrate the ecological relevance of Matses-rccognized habitat types. Key words: Amazonia, habitat classification, mammals, Matses, rainforest. RESUMEN.- Los nalivos Matslis del nordeste del Peru reconacen 47 tipos de habitats de bosque lluvioso dentro de la cuenca del rio Galvez.

  • JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS ABROAD by John B
    JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS ABROAD by John B. Cornell and Robert J. Smith Introduction Our intent here is to review research completed to date on our subject and to call attention to topics which seem particularly promising for future investigation. We have limited our concern to research on Japanese in the Americas and Hawaii, feeling that materials on Japanese in other areas are too fugitive or the issues they concern too parochial to justify inclusion in this brief review. Migration from Japan began in 1868, the year of the Restoration. Al- though Japan strove to resettle large numbers of excess proletarians in Manchukuo and other areas under her political control in the interwar period, the most successful, lasting and best documented migrations were to other regions of the world and seem to bear no relation to the Empire's colonial ambitions. Well above a million, and possibly five million, Japa- nese went abroad during this period for reasons other than tourism and governmental foreign service (Ichihashi 1932: 12; Ota 1968: 1). Foreign reaction to the image of Japan presented by immigrants abroad has tended to be mixed and in general far less favorable than that produced by Jap- anese achievements in the arts, letters, technology, and scholarship. The body of literature on emigration and the Japanese abroad is vast, but it is uneven in quality and displays little thematic consistency. One of its promi- nent characteristics is a pulse-like pattern over time as the intensity of scholarly interest in migration rose and fell according to the intensity of concern felt by receiving nations over strategies of accepting and exporting immigrants and over the treatment of resident Japanese minorities.
