[Lopez-Calvo's] project makes original contributions to the field, particularly in its treatment of literary, theatrical, and visual texts by Japanese Mexicans that have not previously been rigorously discussed before either independently or taken together. I am confident that it will encourage further scholarship in this area, since it is very much a first in its category. --Seth Jacobowitz, winner of the International Convention of Asia Scholars Book Prize in the Humanities, 2017, and author of Writing Technology in Meiji Japan: A Media History of Modern Japanese Literature and Visual Culture This project is meticulously researched. Through the study of memoirs, poetry, manga, painting, and theater, it brilliantly shows the Nikkei (Japanese Mexican) cultural production from 1906 until today. On a broader scale, Lopez-Calvo draws out implications for questions of transnational migration and national identity. This project makes a groundbreaking contribution to the historical dialogues between Asia and Latin America. --Araceli Tinajero, author of A Cultural History of Spanish Speakers in Japan
