Publisher Comments:Fiction. Cultural Writing. Asian American Studies. Yamashita's innovative melding of fiction and essay explores issues such as labor, nationalism, and cultural diaspora. When the grandchildren of Japanese immigrants to Brazil move to Japan to assume the manual work native Japanese people no longer want, their need for cultural belonging and their homesickness for details of their birthplace clash with the status quo. This book of hybrids — merging collage with text, story with history — opens a door onto one of the most important issues of the new century. Karen Tei Yamashita is a winner of the American Book Award and the Janet Heidinger Kafka Award. Also available from SPD are her books BRAZIL-MARU and THROUGH THE ARC OF THE RAIN FOREST, which the New York Times Book Review wrote progresses toward an apocalyptic resolution that spreads out like a Bosch triptych reproduced by Gauguin...Ms. Yamashita presents a critique of human waste and stupidity that is fluid and poetic as well as terrify Synopsis:With skill, imagination, and wit, Yamashita defines an emerging challenge of twenty-first century global society.
