Popis: The 1990 amendments to the Immigration Control Act allowed Latin Americans of Japanese descent to migrate to Japan. In the context of their long-term settlement and the increasing number of a second generation born and raised in Japan, this paper analyzes the role that associations where Peruvians of Japanese descent –Nikkei Peruvians– congregate play in the preservation of an ethnic identity and the production of a sense of locality in Japan. This paper analizes both ethnic identity and locality production under two instrumental concepts: situated locality and community-oriented locality.
