Cross borders

Immigration and Education

In a globalized world, a person who crosses borders and lives in places different from where they were born is not rare. The “acceleration” on migration across borders has become more noticeable. An increase in migration has become a one-sided issue among international societies. Research is being conducted within different fields of the social sciences. This report will focus on Nikkei Brazilian children who have migrated. The back and forth movements between Brazil and Japan began in 1908. More recently, the focus has been on the increasing number of people who have moved from Brazil to Japan as temporary workers. In 2008, the Brazil-Japan immigration process completed 100 years. Due to the world recession, many Brazilians returned to Brazil. This report will focus on the different reasons that children returned from Japan to Brazil. The life history of the Nikkei Brazilian children who traveled back and forth between Japan and Brazil will be used to discuss the kinds of conflict related to the education of those children who migrated between countries or who have had the opportunity to migrate. Conflicts experienced by the children who moved between countries and the one-sidedness of their lifestyles will be discussed.
