Nihonjin


Overview

Nihonjin, es una de las más representativas de la agencia femenina y de la lucha contra un entorno social patriarcal. Mediadas por una voz masculina, vemos la experiencia de dos personajes femeninos, la inmigrante de primera generación (issei) Kimie y la de segunda generación (nisei) Sumie, que contradicen el estereotipo de la dócil y sumisa esposa o hija nikkei. Nihonjin, por la que Nakazato ganó el Premio Benvirá de Literatura y el prestigioso Premio Jabuti, recrea el proceso migratorio de japoneses a Brasil y la articulación de una identidad cultural transnacional. Nihonjin is one of the most representative works on female agency and the struggle against a patriarchal social environment. Mediated by a male voice, we witness the experiences of two female characters: Kimie, a first-generation immigrant (issei), and Sumie, a second-generation immigrant (nisei), who contradict the stereotype of the docile, submissive nikkei wife or daughter. Nihonjin--for which Nakasato won the Benvirá Literature Prize and the prestigious Jabuti Prize--recreates the Japanese migration to Brazil and the formation of a transnational cultural identity.
