Identity (Spanish)

(Spanish) I am Argentine, but I am an Argentine woman who is half Japanese. I was born here (in Argentina), and I live immersed in western, Argentine culture, but I cannot deny that half of my blood is Japanese, [which] is meaningful to me.

Interviewee Bio

Paula Hoyos Hattori is a sansei born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She is a student of letters and dance. Her father is a descendant of Argentine Indians, while her mother is a Nisei, a daughter of Japanese parents. Paula’s particular profile (half Argentine, half Japanese) provides a distinctive vision because of the fusion of these two cultures. (July 12, 2006)
