Henrique Yagui Takahashi is a PhD Candidate in Latin American Cultural and Literary Studies. His areas of interest include Comparative Ethnic & Race Studies, Afro-Latin America & Asian Diaspora Cultures, and Cultural Urban Studies. In his dissertation project, he examines how the myth of racial democracy and mestizaje intersects with Afro-Latin American, Asian, and Indigenous communities within ethnic urban enclaves in Latin America. His current research is conducted through a comparative study of orientalized urban enclaves in Latin America: Bairro da Liberdade in São Paulo, Brazil, and Barrio Chino in Lima, Peru.
