OUTLINE
Traditional accounts of Japanese American history often overlook how gender and marriage shaped Japanese migration and settlement in the United States. In this book talk, Dr. Sonia Gomez will discuss how intimacy shaped the making of Japanese America by examining prewar picture bride migration and postwar war bride migration in relation to one another. Gomez will discuss how and why intimacy created narrow pathways of inclusion for Japanese women during racial exclusion and how such inclusion shaped their lives once in the United States.
