Lee considers depictions of Chineseness in Brazilian popular music, literature, and visual culture, as well as archival documents such as Brazilian and Qing dynasty diplomatic correspondence about opening trade and immigration routes between Brazil and China. In so doing, she reveals how Asian racialization helped to shape Brazil's image as a racial democracy. Mandarin Brazil begins during the second half of the nineteenth century, during the traditional period when enslaved labor became unfree labor--an era when black slavery shifted to "yellow labor" and racial anxieties surged. Lee asks how colonial paradigms of racial labor became a part of Brazil's nation-building project, which prioritized "whitening," a fundamentally white supremacist ideology that intertwined the colonial racial caste system with new immigration labor schemes. By considering why Chinese laborers were excluded from Brazilian nation-building efforts while Japanese migrants were welcomed, Lee interrogates how Chinese and Japanese expansionist ambitions via labor exportation reinforced Brazil's whitening project. Mandarin Brazil contributes to a new conversation in Latin American and Asian American cultural studies, one that considers Asian diasporic histories and racial formation across the Americas."--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Chinese $z Brazil $x History. 650 0 $a Chinese in popular culture $z Brazil. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Brazilian. 651 0 $a Brazil $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $z Brazil $x History. 650 7 $a Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857169 650 7 $a National characteristics, Brazilian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033375 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 $a Brazil. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206830 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lee, Ana Paulina. $t Mandarin Brazil. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2018 $z 9781503606029 $w (DLC) 2018019828 830 0 $a Asian America. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211032152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A58B6A8462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
