1. The Spectacle of Japanese American Trauma: Racial Performativity and World War II

by Emily Roxworthy

This book explores the U.S. government’s internment of Japanese Americans as traumatic spectacle, where the country’s intense and phobic focus on this group of people turned every aspect of their lives into a performance for a national audience. Through the critical lens of performance, Roxworthy examines various ways in which the internees at the Manzanar and Tule Lake camps negotiated and expressed the conflicting racial, national, and generational pressures they endured during this ordeal.
