"Beginning in 1990 thousands of Spanish speakers emigrated to Japan. Historia culutral de los hispanohablantes en Japón ... focuses on the intellectuals, literature, festivals, cultural associations, music, radio, newspapers, magazines, libraries and blogs produced in Spanish, in Japan, by Spaniards and Latin Americans who have lived in that country during the last three decades. Based on intense research in archives throughout that Asian nation, as well as field work including several interviews, Japanese speaking Mexican scholar Araceli Tinajero recovers a transnational, contemporary cultural history that is not only important for today but for future generations."--Page 4 of cover.
