In <em>Negotiating National Identity</em> Jeffrey Lesser explores the crucial role ethnic minorities from China, Japan, North Africa, and the Middle East have played in constructing Brazils national identity, thereby challenging dominant notions of nationality and citizenship.<br />Employing a cross-cultural approach, Lesser examines a variety of acculturating responses by minority groups, from insisting on their own whiteness to becoming ultra-nationalists and even entering secret societies that insisted Japan had won World War II. He discusses how various minority groups engaged in similar, and successful, strategies of integration even as they faced immense discrimination and prejudice.

By giving voice to the role ethnic minorities have played in weaving a broader definition of national identity, this book challenges the notion that elite discourse is hegemonic and provides the first comprehensive look at Brazilian worlds often ignored by scholars.<br />Based on extensive research, <em>Negotiating National Identity</em> will be valuable to scholars and students in Brazilian and Latin American studies, as well as those in the fields of immigrant history, ethnic studies, and race relations.</p>...3651119Negotiating National Identity469652https://www.gandhi.com.mx/negotiating-national-identity-9780822399292/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2842798/70fad521-2567-4f6b-9921-5ad6c27ab630.jpg?v=638384527041530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook19999780822399292_W3siaWQiOiI2MjhjMDFlNS04YjIyLTQwMjAtYTFkZS05ZWIxNTUzNTkwZGMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjY1MiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE4Mywic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0NjksImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTEwLTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780822399292_<p>Despite great ethnic and racial diversity, ethnicity in Brazil is often portrayed as a matter of black or white, a distinction reinforced by the ruling elites efforts to craft the nations identity in its own imagewhite, Christian, and European.
