ABSTRACT This article considers postwar Peru (1952–1963) using categories of race, ethnicity, and a unique case-study: Japanese Peruvians running for political office. Japanese Peruvians, who comprise multiple generations, have been subjects of scholarship, but their entry into politics before Alberto Fujimori’s campaign (in 1990) is scarcely studied. Here, the author uses print media from mainstream Peruvian sources and Japanese Peruvian newspapers. The use of ethnicity by newspapers demonstrates a broad shift in the rights of Japanese Peruvians. The term “Nisei” (second-generation) became part of larger national debates about race and what it meant to be a Peruvian citizen in the Cold War.

战后的生活：第二次世界大战后在利马建设“日本秘鲁人”和公民身份

摘要本文以种族，种族和独特的案例研究为基础来考虑战后秘鲁（1952-1963年）：日本秘鲁人竞选政治职务。由几代人组成的日本秘鲁人一直是学术研究的对象，但很少研究他们在藤森（Alberto Fujimori）竞选（1990年）之前的政治生涯。在这里，作者使用秘鲁主流媒体和日本秘鲁报纸提供的印刷媒体。报纸对种族的使用表明日本秘鲁人的权利发生了广泛变化。“ Nisei”（第二代）一词已成为全国范围内有关种族及其在冷战中成为秘鲁公民的含义的辩论的一部分。
