"Race for Empire" offers a profound and challenging reinterpretation of nationalism, racism, and wartime mobilization during the Asia-Pacific war. In parallel case studies - of Japanese Americans mobilized to serve in the United States Army and of Koreans recruited or drafted into the Japanese military - T. Fujitani examines the U.S. and Japanese empires as they struggled to manage racialized populations while waging total war. Fujitani probes governmental policies and analyzes representations of these soldiers - on film, in literature, and in archival documents - to reveal how characteristics of racism, nationalism, capitalism, gender politics, and the family changed on both sides. He demonstrates that the United States and Japan became increasingly alike over the course of the war, perhaps most tellingly in their common attempts to disavow racism even as they reproduced it in new ways and forms.
T. Fujitani is the Dr. David Chu Professor in Asia-Pacific Studies and Professor of History at the University of Toronto. He is the editor of Perilous Memories: The Asia Pacific War(s) and is the author of Splendid Monarchy: Power and Pageantry in Modern Japan (UC Press).

评分看的艱難
评分Different perspectives are needed, no matter how offending they may seem, to get a holistic picture of what really was going on.
评分一、六兩章主要圍繞韓人應徵入伍為日本作戰所引發的一係列思考。章節有小標題,但往往走得好遠,且沒有結論,可以想見讀得多辛苦。
评分朝鮮裔日本兵vs日裔美國兵;vulgar racism vs polite racism。視角獨特,前半部分寫的尤其有趣
