Bibliographic essay describing six works published between 1996-1999 on the economic relationships Japan has established with countries in Latin America.
"Over the past 12 years or so, a body of literature has grown on Japanese-Latin American relations. The books under review here are the latest examples of this trend. They cover the historical evolution of such relations, the political-diplomatic issues, and the economic aspects; but with the exception of the book by Jose Sanchis Munoz [NB: Sanchis Munoz, Jose. Japon y la Argentina: historic de sus relaciones. Buenos Aires: Editorial Latinoamericana, 1997.], the emphasis is on economic issues."

"ABSTRACT: In the 1920s, Euro-American officials and Peruvian nationalists feared that Japanese immigrants would lead the indigenous majority in overthrowing the white elite. Decades later, as the white elite entered a profound crisis of authority, the administration of Alberto Fujimori, son of Japanese immigrants, found widespread support from the Andean descent majority through a careful management and deployment of symbolic and material connections between Andean and Japanese peoples. This paper explores these connections, specifically the attempt to fold Asian Capitalism into a distinctly Peruvian Andean modernism."
