Notes from the book reviews

I create this section so this reference can be used in the best way:

Lesser, p. 536: "Like all books that seek to provide an overview, specialists in the national histories of the different Latin American republics will quibble with some of the specifics in each of the chapters"
Barbosa p. 171-172 stated that it was "a bit too narrative" "as a result of its comprehensive nature" and also she believed the tone was too positive on Alberto Fujimori - the authors had a tendency of being "somewhat positive on Fujimori's impact in Peru during his decade of rule" - Barbosa said his 1990 election victory gave pride to ethnic Japanese in North and South America "Yet, it has to be emphasized that Fujimori was a corrupt politician who caused the destruction of entire villages and the death of innumerable peasants."
Moran-Taylor, p. 188: "When it analyzes present-day return migration to Japan, however, a brief comparison with present-day Latino migrants in the United States would have been instructive." and also Another minor drawback of this work lies in the use of such terms as transmigration and diaspora. A clearer illustration of how these concepts apply to the Japanese example would have been useful."
Mosk, p. 588: "Still, caveats remain: on occasion Japanese terms are incorrectly rendered; statements about economic achievement, individual and national, seem overly simplistic, at least to this reader; and one hungers for a theoretical framework that would help the reader make sense of the details."

So far I haven't found any reviewers who had an overall negative reaction to the book WhisperToMe (talk) 14:48, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers of chapters discussing the post-WWII Japanese

In Tsuda p. 162 he states that there are only two chapters of nine that discuss post-WWII period.
Mosk p. 588 says there are three

Based on the chapter summaries I see in the reviews, I believe Mosk is correct WhisperToMe (talk) 14:25, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
