Project Plan
The proposed project for AIR 3331 aims to explore the lives and experiences of the "dekassegui"--Brazilian migrant workers of Japanese descent who have relocated to Japan. The research will address the challenges faced by this community, their adaptation strategies, the preservation of their cultural identity, and the dynamics of their integration into Japanese society.
