Description: "Not as scholarly as other similar studies, this volume emphasizes personal histories, especially the commercial and community leaders of the Japanese in Lima. Pays close attention to the May 1940 anti-Japanese riots in Lima and the deportation of Japanese-Peruvians to US internment camps during WW II. Devotes much attention to Fujimori's rise to power, including some background on his early life. Dozens of photographs add significantly to the value of this study. Upon its publication, and before the appearance of the Morimoto and Fukumoto books (items #bi 00004005# and #bi 00002699#), the JINNAI center offered this volume as the best survey of the Japanese experience in Peru"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
