Orientalist discourses in Brazilian culture are an expression of anxieties about the re-structuring of time and space in the network age. The book examines engagements with Japanese postmodern culture in Brazil, which emerge in relation to the history of Japanese immigration and through a series of European and North American discursive mediations.
“Scholars of Brazilian studies will find King’s analysis to be perceptive and revelatory … the way King moves the discussion of orientalist discourse outside of Brazil and engages in a much broader debate regarding orientalism in its globalized manifestations. … this well-researched book points critics in numerous directions for future research on orientalist discourse in Brazil.” (Rex P. Nielson, Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Vol. 94 (9), 2017)
