Abstract

Abstract This article explains how the US westward expansion influenced and stimulated Japanese migration to Brazil. Emerging in the nineteenth century as expanding powers in East Asia and Latin America, respectively, both Meiji Japan and post-independence Brazil looked to the US westward expansion as a central reference for their own processes of settler colonialism. The convergence of Japan and Brazil in their imitation of US settler colonialism eventually brought the two sides together at the turn of the twentieth century to negotiate for the start of Japanese migration to Brazil. This article challenges the current understanding of Japanese migration to Brazil, conventionally regarded as a topic of Latin American ethnic studies, by placing it in the context of settler colonialism in both Japanese and Brazilian histories. The study also explores the shared experiences of East Asia and Latin America as they felt the global impact of the American westward expansion.
一个伟大的交汇点:美国边境和日本移民巴西的起源
摘要本文阐述了美国向西扩张对日本移民巴西的影响和刺激。19世纪,作为东亚和拉丁美洲的扩张大国,明治日本和独立后的巴西都将美国的向西扩张视为其定居者殖民主义进程的中心参考。日本和巴西模仿美国定居者殖民主义的趋同最终使双方在20世纪之交走到一起,就日本人开始移民巴西进行谈判。这篇文章将日本移民巴西置于日本和巴西历史上的定居者殖民主义背景下,挑战了目前对日本移民巴西的理解。该研究还探讨了东亚和拉丁美洲在感受到美国向西扩张的全球影响时的共同经历。

期刊介绍: Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between "the West and the rest", straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences. Published for London School of Economics and Political Science
