Immigration and National Identities in Latin America

The works reviewed in this essay offer diverse approaches to migration studies and reveal Latin American entanglements with the Ottoman Empire and East Asia
Summary
This essay reviews the following works: Making Immigrants in Modern Argentina. By Julia Albarracín. The communities discussed by these authors force us to expand the localized meanings of Argentina, Brazil, or Mexico These relentlessly transnational works break from the geographical confines of the area studies mold to situate Latin America in a global frame. Nicola Foote and Michael Goebel’s edited collection is resolutely comparative, with chapters on regions (Brazil, Mexico, the Caribbean, Argentina) in which multiple migrant groups settled as well as others that trace the movement of a single migrant group (Jewish, German, Chinese, British Caribbean, Italian, and Arabic) across multiple locales. The books by Emilio Redondo Carrero and Sebastian Klor analyze recruitment programs that brought Spanish migrants to Argentina and Jewish Argentines to Israel in the decades after the Second World War. Suma Ikeuchi and Anthony Ocampo analyze Japanese-Brazilian return migrants in Japan and Filipino Americans in California, respectively. Yoon’s and Julia Albarracín’s books consider recent immigration to, and within, the Southern Cone from Korea (Yoon) and Bolivia and Paraguay (Albarracín)
