The backgrounds of the four figures reveal a mixing of nationalities, a borrowing of cultures, and a combination of domestic and overseas interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdward Tang shows how the film, art, and literature made by these artists revealed to the American public the linked processes of U.S. actions at home and abroad. Their work played into-but also challenged-the postwar rehabilitated images of Japan and Japanese Americans as it focused on the history of transpacific relations such as Japanese immigration to the United States, the Asia-Pacific War, U.S. and Japanese imperialism, and the wartime confinement of Japanese Americans. \u003ci\u003eFrom Confinement to Containment \u003c\/i\u003eshows the relationships between larger global forces as well as how the artists and writers responded to them in both critical and compromised ways\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52586873291032,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/from-confinement-to-containment-japanese-american-arts-during-the-early-cold-war-hardback-9781439917480","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
