Summary

""Searching for Home Abroad" makes a major contribution to Brazilian studies and to our empirical and theoretical understanding of transnational migration, liminality, and the construction of transnational identities. Its contributors--from history, sociology, anthropology, and ethnomusicology--provide us with a rich, nuanced, and very much needed understanding of early-twentieth-century Japanese immigration in Brazil, as well as the more recent Japanese-Brazilian emigration to Japan."--Leo Spitzer, author of "Hotel Bolivia: The Culture of Memory in a Refuge from Nazism"
