Currently, there are about 286,557 Brazilians inJapan. The main driving force behind Japan accepting a large influx ofBrazilian immigrants has to do with how the Japanese governmentconstructs the economic and cultural subjectivities of the Brazilians.The reason that these Brazilians are able to immigrate to Japan isbecause they are of Japanese blood (Nikkei), thus they are consideredreturnees as opposed to immigrants. By doing this, the Japanesegovernment still can uphold its stance of being a self-dependenthomogeneous country and fulfill demands of unskilled labor withoutopening its borders completely. Because a large number of Nikkei workin factories, some Japanese create subjectivities of Brazilians thatis bound to the factories; in other words, some Japanese believe thatthe Brazilians are only capable of doing factory work. 2008-04-18 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1208549280 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1208549280 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
