The Works of Japanese American Writers During World War II

战时拘禁日裔美国人是日裔美国文学中一个非常重要的主题，因为它彻底粉碎了日裔美国人的身份，特别是日成的身份，但我们应该注意到，日成作家在二战期间创作的文本还没有得到充分的审视。我的研究项目的目的是收集他们在被拘留期间为集中营文件和文学期刊撰写的文本，并分析日成对这场悲惨流放的反应。我让研究图书馆缩微拍摄那些夏令营出版物，并用赠款购买的缩微胶片阅读器对它们进行了核对。如果有机会在2002年4月至9月在美国进行研究，我还可以查阅保存在胡佛研究所和斯坦福大学格林图书馆的战时文学期刊。这些调查让我了解了日裔美国作家因被迫离开家园和分散在美国各地的集中营而遭受的创伤。现在，我正在根据这些研究成果写一本书。

The wartime internment of Japanese Americans is a very important theme in Japanese American Literature because it completely shattered the identities of Japanese Americans, particularly those of Nisei, But we should note that the texts Nisei writers produced during the World War II have not fully examined yet. The purpose of my research project is to collect those texts they wrote for the camp papers and the literary journals during the internment and analyze the Nisei responses to the tragic exile. I asked the Research Library to microfilm those camp publications and checked them with a microfilm reader bought by the grant. Given a chance to do research in the United States from April to September in 2002, I also could examine the wartime literary journals kept at the Hoover Institute and the Green Library of Stanford University. These surveys led me to understand the traumas of Japanese American writers caused by the forced removal from their homes and concentration camps scattered throughout the United States. Now I am writing a book based on these research results.
