Join AddRan Asian Studies and the Center for Languages and Cultures for this two-part event! Histories of World War II and Japanese American incarceration tend to nestle neatly between two bookends: The bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. But before the "wastelands" of the interior West became prisons,  they were already stolen land. They hold long histories of Indigenous forced removals and dispossessions. How have Japanese American writers contended with these overlapping histories of place, and what does it mean to be a prisoner on stolen land? What futures can we build by doing away with bookends? Dr. Mika Kennedy of Ithaca College will deliver a lecture on Japanese American history, which will be followed by a film showing the next evening.
