| 概要 | Citizens are forged in the halls of education. At the height of Japan’s Empire, its educational dominion spanned beyond its territorial borders, cultivating a network of nikkei – Japanese overseas – citizens. In this talk, I argue that Japanese imperial influence interacted with overseas community leaders to codify nikkei citizenship through Japanese language schools. In analyzing Japanese State and educator initiatives emanating to the Americas, I posit that education was not impede by borders. The Japanese educational world incorporated its overseas communities. With a focus on 1930’s education in the Japanese communities in Hawaiʻi and Peru, I demonstrate how community leaders incorporated Japanese influence with that of their local state. Nikkei citizenship was distinct from Japan, built off the national and international demands on migrant communities. Lastly, I consider the convergence of Pacific-wide Japanese communities in the face of mass arrest during World War 2. Through examining the wartime Japanese language school at Crystal City, I assert that the forced interaction of Japanese from Hawaiʻi, the US mainland, and Latin America revealed the hierarchy and solidarity of nikkei citizenship across borders. As Japan’s Empire grew, a nikkei citizenry emerged across the Pacific – bound by a shared past in Japan and present in the Americas. | |
