If you are a Japanese American, whose family has immigrated from Latin American (Peru, Panama, Brazil, etc.) you are welcomed to participate in an oral history project conducted by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison History Department. Involvement does not require any advanced knowledge on the topic nor a deep understanding of your Latin American background, detachment has so far been the norm. This oral history project, which will be conducted by telephone, aims to understand ideas of identity, belonging, and Americanization. Involvement is voluntary and there will be no monetary compensation for your participation. The goal of this project is to better understand the overlooked histories of the JLA community in the U.S and your contribution could be vital to achieve this goal. 

 

If you or someone you know fits the above-mentioned requirements and have an interest, please have them email Brandon Nakashima at [email protected] for a more detailed explanation of what their involvement might entail. Nisei, Sansei, Yonsei and Gosei are all welcomed.
