''New Worlds, New Lives: Globalization and People of Japanese Descent in the Americas and from Latin America in Japan'' (ISBN 978-0804744621) is a 2002 academic book edited by Lane Ryo Hirabayashi, James A. Hirabayashi, and Akemi Kikumura-Yano and published by the Stanford University Press. The volume, edited by three Japanese American anthropologists, was produced by the Japanese American National Museum's International Nikkei Research Project.〔Yamanaka, p. 1081.〕 The same project produced the ''Encyclopedia of Japanese Descendants in the Americas: An Illustrated History of the Nikkei'',〔Hu-Dehart, Evelyn (Brown University).

"(the present collection is conceived as a companion volume to ''Encyclopedia of Japanese Descendants in the Americas'', another INRP publication)."〕 The book addresses larger theoretical considerations of individual empirical cases as well as the cases themselves.〔Igarashi, p. 326.〕 The book was published in Japanese by Jinbun-shoin (人文書院) in 2006,〔"(Association for Immigration Studies (Imin Kenkyukai) )" ((Archive )).

Retrieved on May 4, 2014.〕 ''New Worlds, New Lives'' discusses the effects of globalization on a Nikkei identity,〔Takenaka, p. 250.〕 concerning those from the main islands of Japan and those from Okinawa.〔Masterson, p. 530.〕 This discussion of the Nikkei includes those from the Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Paraguay, Peru and United States,〔 and also the ''dekasegi'', Nikkei who reside in Japan.〔Moya, p. 389.〕 The editors state that to understand how globalization has affected the Nikkei community one must put together Japan, the originating country, and the overall Nikkei community in a "triadic perspective";〔Takenaka, p. 250-251.〕 According to the book, the "triadic framework" means examining Japan, the host country, and the ethnic organizations that link the host country and Japan along with the reproduction and maintenance of Nikkei ethnic identities. Yoko Yoshida of the ''Journal of International Migration and Integration'' wrote that "The greatest insight one can glean from this book is that only looking at ethnic groups in relation to their host societies does not capture the entire dynamics of the migration experience and the negotiation of cultural identity."〔Yoshida, p. 447.〕 Ayumi Takenaka of the University of Oxford argued that the book's chapters "neither address their relationship nor the impact of globalization."〔 The book considers five results that may occur due to globalization. It may increase the Nikkei identity; erode the Nikkei identity; have no visible impact on the said identity; reduce the prominence of the Nikkei identity by, as Yoshida states, creating "global consciousness"; or generate an indicator of a decreasing Nikkei identity by establishing new "hybrid" identities.〔Yoshida, p. 446.〕 Yoshida wrote that the editors of the book "fail to answer fully which outcome has emerged because globalization is never consistently conceptualized throughout this book."〔 Of the chapters, half only cite their own case studies and do not cite anything else. Jose C. Moya of the University of California, Los Angeles argued that, in those chapters, this results in "a certain parochialism in their inability to engage the broader literature on migration and ethnicity."〔 Keiko Yamanaka of the University of California, Berkeley wrote that before this book was published, there was scarce information about the Japanese in South America in English, and a lot of the information had been published in Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese, inaccessible to Anglophones.〔Yamanaka, p. 1082.〕 ==Contents== The volume, divided into 20 chapters,〔 includes 18 articles.〔 Of the eighteen authors, seventeen are either Japanese or Nikkei. The book's arguments are presented in the second and third sections.〔 The question of conjunction and disjunction of Nikkei identities is presented in sections two and three. Yoshida argued that this was "an interesting way to frame these sections".〔 Yamanaka wrote that most chapters have general discussions on their topics and are short in length.〔 Yoshikuni Igarashi of Vanderbilt University stated that the average chapter length was 16 pages, and because of the short length the essays "read more like encyclopedia entries than critical essays."〔Igarashi, p. 327.〕 Takenaka argued that concluded that "most of the chapters seem to address some aspects of conjunction and disjunction of identities in one way or another" and that the chapters should have been organized by topic or geographic region.〔 Igarashi wrote that the book had organized its nomenclature along country-based boundaries.〔Igarashi, p. 328.〕 There are four chapters that discuss Peru.〔 One chapter chronicle Japanese Peruvian history, covering from the year 1899 to the rule of Alberto Fujimori. Another chapter refers to one opinion poll of Peruvian Japanese conducted in 1989 and another conducted in 1998 and compares and contrasts the two.〔 There is an essay that discusses the Japanese political empowerment movements in three places: Brazil, Hawaii, and Gardena, California in Greater Los Angeles.〔 There is also a section where the book discusses the formation of cosmopolitan, hybrid, and transnational identities.〔 Robert Efird of Seattle University stated that the essays by Yuko Takezawa and Makoto Araki examine the boundary of what a "Nikkei" is.〔Efird〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Worlds, New Lives」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
