Images of Japanese and Japanese American women can teach us what it
meant to be visible at specific moments in history. Elena Tajima
Creef employs an Asian American feminist vantage point to examine
ways of looking at indigenous Japanese Ainu women taking part in
the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition; Japanese immigrant picture
brides of the early twentieth century; interned Nisei women in
World War II camps; and Japanese war brides who immigrated to the
United States in the 1950s. Creef illustrates how an
against-the-grain viewing of these images and other archival
materials offers textual traces that invite us to reconsider the
visual history of these women and other distinct historical groups.
As she shows, using an archival collection's range as a lens and
frame helps us discover new intersections between race, class,
gender, history, and photography. Innovative and engaging, Shadow
Traces illuminates how photographs shape the history of
marginalized people and outlines a method for using such materials
in interdisciplinary research.
