Intersectionality and humanity
That Modern Feminist Thought shares its lineage with the liberal Enlightenment and Humanism has continued to render certain feminist practices assimilable to the colonial-racial regime of knowledge that has long underpinned what we normatively uphold as political modernity and its foundational assumptions. This article, originally presented as a conference keynote address, revisits the familiar feminist aporia through exploring the multiple genea…
Un-American Geographies
Attending to the relationship between geography and knowledge, this essay considers Asian American studies in relationship to Native Pacific Islander studies, Southeast Asian American studies, and transpacific inquiries. The deepening exchanges across these fields show us that transpacific thinking has re-radicalized the past and present Asian American studies agenda by eliciting the longue durée of US imperialist entrenchment. As critical transp…

Hiroshima Traces
Remembering Hiroshima, the city obliterated by the world's first nuclear attack, has been a complicated and intensely politicized process, as we learn from Lisa Yoneyama's sensitive investigation of the "dialectics of memory." She explores unconventional texts and dimensions of culture involved in constituting Hiroshima memories—including history textbook controversies, discourses on the city's tourism and urban renewal projects, campaigns to pre…

Transpacific Entanglements
Toward a Decolonial Genealogy of the Transpacific
Toward a Decolonial Genealogy of the Transpacific Lisa Yoneyama (bio) Over the past decade, the term transpacific has gained increasing currency in academic writings across different disciplines. In part responding to the cross-hemispheric turn in the ongoing transnational questioning of the single-nation framework of area-based research, many scholars in history, literature, sociology, anthropology, and ethnic studies have begun to view the tran…
Cold War Ruins
In Cold War Ruins Lisa Yoneyama argues that the efforts intensifying since the 1990s to bring justice to the victims of Japanese military and colonial violence have generated what she calls a "transborder redress culture." A product of failed post-World War II transitional justice that left many colonial legacies intact, this culture both contests and reiterates the complex transwar and transpacific entanglements that have sustained the Cold War …

Together with the other article authored by Caprio in this course reader, this article explains the circumstances during the occupation era that created the status of Zainichi Koreans in postwar Japan.It argues that American occupation policies were responsible for the later plight of Zainichi Koreans.The article contends that there were several reasons Americans distrusted Koreans in Japan at the time.One was that, lacking a direct channel betwe…
Asian American studies in travel
This short essay situates this journal's special issue within the Cold War history and politics of transpacific knowledge formation by calling on Edward W. Said's concept of ‘traveling theory.’ Contributors to this groundbreaking collective project have shown us that Asian American critique interfaced with Asia can upset the discipline's boundary and its assumptions enough to generate new questions and objects of inquiry. At the same time, a disc…
Section III
In imperial fashion, the question of national security, national resources, and the preservation of civil liberties has come to be framed almost exclusively by the wars America is forced to conduct outside its borders; and in imperial fashion, these wars are increasingly portrayed as supranational police actions against rogue states, axes of evil, and whole criminal populations. This curious inversion between domestic security and international c…
Liberation under Siege
Liberation under Siege" analyzes knowledge produced about Japanese womenÕs enfranchisement under U.S. military occupation, 1945-52. American popular memory remembers that Douglas MacArthur "liberated" Japanese women but forgets that the space in which Japanese womenÕs civil rights was realized was one of un-freedom and non-rights. The article reveals the ways in which mainstream and other U.S. media representations over the transwar decade (from …
Traveling Memories, Contagious Justice
This article examines the multi-faceted implications of legislative and other developments in the United States concerning efforts to redress Japan's wartime military sex slavery and other war crimes. Yoneyama explores the not-so-uniform ways in which Asian/Americans become mobilized into such redress efforts within the Unite States public sphere. On the one hand, Asian/American involvement in redress may secure their nationalized status, by allo…
Contes de deux Ruines et au delà
En dépit de nombreuses differences assez évidentes, les ruines de l’attaque atomique contre Hiroshima et celles du World Trade Center après le 11 septembre, présentent nombre de caractéristiques communes. L’article traite de la politique de la mémoire dans ces deux sites de victimisation, mais aussi du contraste existant avec un discours émergent portant sur un autre exemple, moins connu, de violence à l’égard des femmes d’Asie et du Pacifique qu…
An Absent Presence
An Absent Presence: Japanese Americans in Postwar American Culture, 1945-1960, is an engaging and deeply moving account of how remembering and forgetting the history of Japanese American internment have been fundamental to the postwar articulation of the United States as a democratic nation that was to prevail over its cold war enemies. The state's gross violations left irreparable damage to the nation's self-knowledge. The maintenance of the myt…
