In this global and comparative study of Pacific War incarceration
environments we explore the arc of the Pacific Basin as an
archipelagic network of militarized penal sites. Grounded in
spatial, physical and material analyses focused on experiences of
civilian internees, minority citizens, and enemy prisoners of war,
the book offers an architectural and urban understanding of the
unfolding history and aftermath of World War II in the Pacific.
Examples are drawn from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan,
and North America. The Architecture of Confinement highlights the
contrasting physical facilities, urban formations and material
character of various camps and the ways in which these uncover
different interpretations of wartime sovereignty. The exclusion and
material deprivation of selective populations within these camp
environments extends the practices by which land, labor and capital
are expropriated in settler-colonial societies; practices critical
to identity formation and endemic to their legacies of liberal
democracy.
