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\u003e shows 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Tang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439917497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward Tang\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor of American Studies at the University of Alabama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44715306188915,"sku":"9781439917497","price":53.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_701001bc-9198-4662-a58f-b34ff2e71664.jpg?v=1775841506","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/from-confinement-to-containment-japaneseamerican-arts-during-the-early-cold-war-9781439917497","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
