项目摘要

1.Multiplicity/heterogeneity of the Japanese immigrant community : This study stresses the importance of multiplicity/heterogeneity within the community of Japanese immigrants in Los Angeles. This presents a contrast with the still-dominant tendency, among scholars of American ethnic groups, to essentialize ethnicity. The Japanese Association of Los Angeles functioned as a final arena of negotiation and accommodation among polarized interest groups.2.Everyday forms of nationalism : In order for the Japanese association to function as an intermediary between hostile parties, it often resorted to the use of the authority of the Japanese government - the person of the resident consul. On the one hand, the consul signified the "limits" of intraethnic antagonism. On the other, the fact that the consul took the trouble to intervene on "their" behalf gave the warring groups certain satisfaction, and thus abated their belligerence. The Japanese association illuminates the importance of such everyday forms of nationalism.3."Public" organizations as voluntary organizations : Although the Japanese were excluded from formal American politics through voting, they had many ways to participate in the American society. One area was the use of court. Another was the publicity campaigns to create favorable political climate. In both cases, the Japanese association played a central role. Thus, through the use of voluntary organizations, the immigrants participated - despite in a limited way - in the American political process. Such analytical use of voluntary organizations could be expanded to economic, social, religious, and educational organizations, and further studies should be needed to explore the participatory aspects of immigrant experience.

1.日本移民社区的多性/异质性：这项研究强调了洛杉矶日本移民社区内多种/异质性的重要性。这与美国族裔学者中仍然具有优势的趋势形成了鲜明的对比，使种族使种族实质性。日本洛杉矶协会是两极分化群体之间谈判和住宿的最后一个舞台。2。每日民族主义形式：为了使日本协会在敌对政党之间充当中介，它经常诉诸于使用日本政府的权威 - 居民领事的人。一方面，领事表示族内对抗的“限制”。另一方面，领事在代表“他们”进行干预的事实使交战团体一定的满足感，从而减轻了他们的好战。日本协会阐明了这种日常民族主义的重要性。3。“公共”组织为志愿组织：尽管日本人通过投票被排除在美国正规政治之外，但他们有许多参与美国社会的方法。一个领域是法院的使用。另一个是宣传运动，旨在创造有利的政治气氛。在这两种情况下，日本协会都发挥了核心作用。因此，通过使用志愿组织，移民参加了美国的政治进程。这种对志愿组织的分析使用可以扩展到经济，社会，宗教和教育组织，需要进一步的研究来探索移民经验的参与方面。
