"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.

Using ceremonials such as imperial weddings and funerals as models, T. Fujitani illustrates what visual symbols and rituals reveal about monarchy, nationalism, city planning, discipline, gender, memory, and modernity. Focusing on the Meiji Period (1868-1912), Fujitani brings recent methods of cultural history to a study of modern Japanese nationalism for the first time.
"Perilous Memories" makes a groundbreaking and critical
intervention into debates about war memory in the Asia-Pacific
region. Arguing that much is lost or erased when the Asia-Pacific
War(s) are reduced to the 1941-1945 war between Japan and the
United States, this collection challenges mainstream memories of
the Second World War in favor of what were actually multiple,
widespread conflicts. The contributors recuperate marginalized or
silenced memories of wars throughout the region--not only in Japan
and the United States but also in China, Southeast Asia, the
Pacific Islands, Okinawa, Taiwan, and Korea. "Contributors." Chen Yingzhen, Chungmoo Choi, Vicente M. Diaz,
Arif Dirlik, T. Fujitani, Ishihara Masaie, Lamont Lindstrom, George
Lipsitz, Marita Sturken, Toyonaga Keisaburo, Utsumi Aiko, Morio
