"Race for Empire" offers a profound and challenging
reinterpretation of nationalism, racism, and wartime mobilization
during the Asia-Pacific war. In parallel case studies - of Japanese
Americans mobilized to serve in the United States Army and of
Koreans recruited or drafted into the Japanese military - T.
Fujitani examines the U.S. and Japanese empires as they struggled
to manage racialized populations while waging total war. Fujitani
probes governmental policies and analyzes representations of these
soldiers - on film, in literature, and in archival documents - to
reveal how characteristics of racism, nationalism, capitalism,
gender politics, and the family changed on both sides. He
demonstrates that the United States and Japan became increasingly
alike over the course of the war, perhaps most tellingly in their
common attempts to disavow racism even as they reproduced it in new
ways and forms.
