 note = {The military regime in Brazil (1964-1985) was one of the longest-lasting military regimes in Latin America. Today, many Nikkei citizens believe that, "in that period there was security, and the economy was prosperous. In general, it was a good time." However, the leaders of the Japanese-Brazilian community during this time were afraid of persecution. Therefore, they tried to avoid expressions of opposition to the authoritarian government. Japanese immigrants in Brazil, an ethnic minority in the receiving society, were continuously placed under pressure throughout the decades by Brazilian rulers after their arrival. Under the weight of the military regime, the Japanese-Brazilian community, as a form of self-defense, became the model minority under the authoritarian power. This position could have been assumed out of fear as well as the desire for social ascension in the host society and progression toward social integration. Among the second and third generations of Japanese descendants, there were those who did not fit in the role of the model minority, who questioned the dominant social structure under such a military regime and acted against the military government. They joined communist or anti-government opposition parties’ activities through social and student movements, but communist activities went on to become illegal. Opposition parties were allowed to participate in the election. However, Nikkei opposition political activities were not fully understood by the Japanese-Brazilian community, and opposition members were sometimes kept away from their families and the community. In this article, we examine how the model minority image has defined the interest of the Japanese-Brazilian community in political participation, observing the relationship between Nikkei opposition politicians and the community through those politicians’ life stories. We analyze the life stories of two Okinawan politicians, Iha Koyu and Getúlio Kiyotomo Hanashiro; we also use Portuguese newspapers published by the community as well as individual oral histories to describe the life stories. Through the methodology of life storytelling, it is possible to understand the kind of changes those Nikkei opposition politicians experienced with their families and members of the Japanese-Brazilian community. Finally, we show how the model minority image has defined the political participation interests of Japanese-Brazilians., 紀要論文},
