Diverse Attitudes towards War among Americans of Diverse Gender, Race, Ethnic and Class Backgrounds : Building Multicultural Histoty

在这项旨在构建多元文化史的研究中，我关注了三个主题：1)美国爱国主义的根源，2)美国人民对战争和爱国主义的不同态度，3)被占领国家或地区的美国军人与妇女的关系。关于1)，我把美国的爱国主义放在美国文明史的背景下来考虑，就像在《美国文明不会随着约翰·怀恩的死而倒下》一文中所看到的那样。至于2)，我探索和分析了美国人对9.11之后的两场战争的不同态度，并将其与对二战的态度进行了比较，并将它们置于总是导致美国人分裂的文化战争的历史中。主题3)是我从性别角度研究第二次世界大战的延伸。在我即将发表的文章中，我展示了父权制、阶级、种族主义以及美国和被占领的日本之间的政治和经济权力差异的相互联系的力量，这些都为二战后日本政府发起和美国军队承认的卖淫制度提供了便利。

In the study, which aims at construction of multicultural history, I focused on three themes : 1)the roots of American patriotism, 2)diverse attitudes of the American people toward war and patriotism, and 3)the relationship between GIs and women of occupied countries or regions. Regarding 1), I considered American patriotism in the context of the history of American civilization as seen in the essay "American Civilization Will Not Fall with John Wyane's Death." As for 2), I explored and analyzed diverse attitudes of Americans toward the two wars following 9.11 as compared those toward WWII and placed them in the history of culture wars that had always divided the Americans. Theme 3) is an extension from my study of World War II from the perspective of gender. In my forthcoming essay, I show the interconnecting forces of patriarchy, class, racism, and discrepancy of political and economic power between the United States the occupier and Japan the occupied all facilitated the Japanese government-initiated and US Army-recognized prostitution system in post-WWII Japan.
