However, studies of that imprint or of individual authors have focused on American literature without drawing connections to parallel traditions elsewhere. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Hostile Islands \u003c\/i\u003econtributes to ongoing efforts by Australasian scholars to place their national cultures in conversation with those of the United States, particularly regarding studies of the ideologies that legitimize warfare. Consecutively, the book examines five of the most significant historical and thematic areas associated with the war: island combat, economic competition, internment, imprisonment, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout, the central issue pivots around the question of how or whether at all New Zealand fiction writing differs from that of the United States. Can a sense of islandness, the 'tyranny of distance,' Māori cultural heritage, or the political legacies of the nuclear-free movement provide grounds for distinctive authorial insights? As an opening gambit, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Hostile Islands \u003c\/i\u003eputs forward the term 'ideological coproduction' to describe how a territorially and demographically more minor national culture may accede to the essentials of a given ideology while differing in aspects that reflect historical and provincial dimensions that are important to it. Appropriately, the literary texts under examination are set in various locales, including Japan, the Solomon Islands, New Zealand, New Mexico, Ontario, and the Marshall Islands. The book concludes in a deliberately open-ended pose, with the full expectation that literary writing on the Pacific War will grow in range and richness, aided by the growth of Pacific Studies as a research area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword by Patrick Porter\u003c\/i\u003e   vii\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eRevelations and Comedy: The Combat Novel   25\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eCamera Men: Postwar Japan-Bashing   55\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eCaptive Memories: Internment North and South   81\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Poetics of Apology: FEPOW Narratives   106\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eScientists and Hibakusha: Project Novels   132\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCoda \u003c\/b\u003e  163\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  173\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  177\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e  217\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  243\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619265343768,"sku":"9781531505158","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-hostile-islands-the-pacific-war-in-american-and-new-zealand-fiction-writing-hardback-9781531505158","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
