The Japanese in Argentina

First, select a Spanish-speaking country that you would like to research. This can include Spanish-speaking populations in the United States. Then, research an underrepresented group in that country that has distinct cultural aspects that make them diverse, and result in experiences of marginalization. A group of people can be underrepresented due to a variety of factors such as their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sex, sexual orientation, disability, language, or class. Some examples of such groups are: • The Quechua people in Peru • The Jews in Argentina • Women in Mexico • Basque speakers in Spain • The Mapuches in Chile • The Japanese in Argentina • Women in El Salvador • The Jews in Chile • Irish in Chile • The Germans in Chile • Afro-Costa Ricans population • Afro-Honduran population Next, write an academic research paper describing the experiences of this diverse group living in a plural society. You should focus on the values and traditions of the group you have selected with a particular emphasis on any one of the following: • Political system • Government • Technological achievements • Philosophy • Religion • Language (if this group is a language minority in the country you have chosen) • Literature • Other cultural contributions In your paper, as you discuss the experiences of your group, be sure also to discuss what it means to be diverse in relation to power, privilege and inequality in a society in which one is a member of an underrepresented group. Here are some possible topics: • Describe a Spanish-speaking country that is linguistically diverse (more than one language is spoken in the country), religiously diverse (more than one religion is practiced in the country), or ethnically diverse and explore the benefits and problems for one of the underrepresented groups living in that plural society; • Explore gender roles in a specific Spanish-speaking country and examine issues related to power and opportunity for women; • Investigate the experiences of Spanish-speaking immigrants in the United States, or of another group of immigrants in a Spanish-speaking country.
