Someone Else's War: Korea and the Post-1945 U.S. Racial Order Abstract The Korean War (1950-1953) marked a major turning point in matters of race in the United States. One the one hand, the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces during the war inaugurated state-mandated institutional racial integration as a putative path to full and equal citizenship for racial minorities, particularly for African American soldiers and their families. On the other, the lifting of racially exclusive immigration laws signaled changing conceptions of who could become an American citizen at all, paving the way for the mass migration of Asian immigrants in the second half of the twentieth century. The dissertation reads the Korean War as the event that set these twin processes of integration and immigration in motion—processes that transformed the racial order in the post-45 period in the United States. It examines recent and contemporary works of literature by American writers of color, including novels by Ha Jin, Rolando Hinojosa, Chang-Rae Lee, and Toni Morrison, in order to work through the profound but often unthought effects of the Korean War for minority subjects in U.S. culture. Through these readings, the dissertation argues that the Korean War heralded a new mode of liberal inclusion for racial minorities in the United States.

First and foremost, this dissertation would not have been possible without the wisdom, insight, and unfailing support of my committee co-chairs, David Eng and Josephine Park: thank you for your brilliance and your generosity in helping me to build this project piece by piece. At critical moments, Jed Esty asked impossible questions, the search for whose answers advanced this project by leaps and bounds. Amy Kaplan provided invaluable feedback in the early stages of the project. I would like to thank the UPenn English Department for providing me with a dissertation completion fellowship as well as the following groups at Penn for inviting me to share drafts of dissertation writing along the way: the Latitudes graduate reading group, the DCC (Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism) program, and the Graduate Humanities Forum. Next, I would like to thank my circles of friends, who have never allowed research and writing to be lonely endeavors and whose support, encouragement, and love have meant the world. Golnar Nikpour’s name appears repeatedly in the following lists: I cannot overstate her influence on this project (thank you a million times for everything). Thank you to my housemates and supreme crew: Golnar Nikpour, Sarah Ahn, Tina Dulani, Kim Garcia, and Hannah the cat. For the writing dates and writing breaks (and breakthroughs), critical conversations, and late-night gchats and text chains, thank you to the community of writers and thinkers I have been lucky to count as friends: at Penn, Jessica Rosenberg, iii Raquel Albarrán, Jungha Kim, and Nava EtShalom; in New York, Golnar Nikpour, Manijeh Moradian, Sarah Ahn, Spencer Bastedo, Keriann Pauls, Thera Webb, Ben Parker, Genevieve Yue, and Keerthi Potluri; at a distance, Nimmy Abiaka, Sabrina Wu, and Mamie Thant. Playing music with Bidi Choudhury, Talya Cooper, and Golnar Nikpour in New York and Althea Baird, Chelsey del Castillo, and Aurora Garcia in Philadelphia was both a release and a source of inspiration throughout the writing process. Mimi Nguyen and Jan Radway offered sage guidance, and models of meaningful scholarship, from afar. Nodutdol for Korean Community Development and associated organizations in New York renewed my interest in both legacies of the Korean War and movements for racial justice at a key moment in my political and intellectual development. Finally, I would like to thank my family. To Tammy Lee (my most trusted adviser on matters big and small), Sung Kwak, baby Stella, and Jason Lee (my sharpest and funniest interlocutor), thank you for making New York a warm and joyful home base. I would like to thank the extended Park and Lee clans, whose stories of survival and transformation from Kansas to Korea first sparked the generational questions behind this dissertation. Most of all, thank you to my parents, Jae Young Lee and Hye Song Park, who instilled in me a love of reading and taught me to always ask why. This dissertation is dedicated with love and respect to you. iv ABSTRACT SOMEONE ELSE’S WAR: KOREA AND THE POST-1945 U.S. RACIAL ORDER A. Yumi Lee David L.

But once he was in Korea and forced to both witness and commit atrocities against not just enemy soldiers but civilians and refugees, his enthusiasm

  • War Brides” in Postwar Japan : Their Representations in Asahi Shimbun and Popular Media from the Late 1940S to the 1970S
    関西学院大学 先端社会研究所紀要 第 13 号 Annual Review of the Institute for Advanced Social Research vol.13 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " 投稿論文 " The Othering of Japanese “War Brides” in Postwar Japan : Their Representations in Asahi Shimbun and Popular Media from the Late 1940s to the 1970s IWASA, Masashi* Abstract This article examines how Japanese “war brides” have been imagined and represented in various media in Japan in the postwar era. These women married servicemen, mostly American GIs, working for the Allied Forces during the occupation period of Japan and the succeeding years in the 1950s, as well as in the early 1960s. The empirical data used here include their coverages in Asahi Shimbun, a major newspaper in Japan, from the late 1940s to the 1970s. In addition, other primary and secondary sources that have taken account of them in one way or other are picked up and analysed. While the data examined here may be limited to a certain degree, it is suggested that the “war brides” had consistently been imagined as Japan’s “others,” or the outsiders of Japanese society, by various media throughout the time under study, as their deviance and extraordinariness tended to constitute the major theme of their media representations since the 1950s and thereafter. It is also contended that, from the mid­1960s to the 1970s, Japanese media even imagined them as strangers who had lost their Japanese­ness due to their long­term absence from Japan. Key words : representation ; othering ; occupation period ; war bride ; fraternity 1. Introduction To date, a dominant tendency in the discussion concerning war and “race” has been to look at the fierce confrontation between different “races”1) as enemy groups.

  • Luxembourg Resistance to the German Occupation of the Second World War, 1940-1945
    LUXEMBOURG RESISTANCE TO THE GERMAN OCCUPATION OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, 1940-1945 by Maureen Hubbart A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: History West Texas A&M University Canyon, TX December 2015 ABSTRACT The history of Luxembourg’s resistance against the German occupation of World War II has rarely been addressed in English-language scholarship. Perhaps because of the country’s small size, it is often overlooked in accounts of Western European History. However, Luxembourgers experienced the German occupation in a unique manner, in large part because the Germans considered Luxembourgers to be ethnically and culturally German. The Germans sought to completely Germanize and Nazify the Luxembourg population, giving Luxembourgers many opportunities to resist their oppressors. A study of French, German, and Luxembourgian sources about this topic reveals a people that resisted in active and passive, private and public ways. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Elizabeth Clark for her guidance in helping me write my thesis and for sharing my passion about the topic of underground resistance. My gratitude also goes to Dr. Brasington for all of his encouragement and his suggestions to improve my writing process. My thanks to the entire faculty in the History Department for their support and encouragement. This thesis is dedicated to my family: Pete and Linda Hubbart who played with and took care of my children for countless hours so that I could finish my degree; my husband who encouraged me and always had a joke ready to help me relax; and my parents and those members of my family living in Europe, whose history kindled my interest in the Luxembourgian resistance.

  • Confronting Sa-I-Gu: Twenty Years After the Los Angeles Riots
    【특집】 Confronting Sa-i-gu: Twenty Years after the Los Angeles Riots Edward Taehan Chang (the Young Oak Kim Center for Korean American Studies) Twenty years ago on April 29, Los Angeles erupted and Koreatown cried as it burned. For six-days, the LAPD was missing in action as rioting, looting, burning, and killing devastated the city. The “not guilty” Rodney King verdict ignited anger and frustration felt by South Los Angeles residents who suffered from years of neglect, despair, hopelessness, injustice, and oppression.1) In the Korean American community, the Los Angeles riot is remembered as Sa-i-gu (April 29 in Korean). Korean Americans suffered disproportionately high economic losses as 2,280 Korean American businesses were looted or burned with $400 million in property damages.2) Without any political clout and power in the city, Koreatown was unprotected and left to burn since it was not a priority for city politicians and 1) Rodney King was found dead in his own swimming pool on June 17, 2012, shortly after publishing his autobiography The Riot Within: My Journey from Rebellion to Redemption Learning How We Can All Get Along, in April 2012. 2) Korea Daily Los Angeles, May 11, 1992. 2 Edward Taehan Chang the LAPD. For the Korean American community, Sa-i-gu is known as its most important historical event, a “turning point,” “watershed event,” or “wake-up call.” Sa-i-gu profoundly altered the Korean American discourse, igniting debates and dialogue in search of new directions.3) The riot served as a catalyst to critically examine what it meant to be Korean American in relation to multicultural politics and race, economics and ideology.

For the past three decades, Leitenberg has paraded the thesis that the allegations of BW use leveled against the US by North Korea and China during the Korean War has all been a nefarious hoax – a grand piece of political theater – deviously orchestrated by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and the swarthy Joseph Stalin. Leitenberg’s thesis epitomizes the deeply embedded racism of America’s Cold War politics. He has enjoyed bounteous support from right-wing academia and quasi-government think tanks. The BW hoax thesis has impacted scholarship and US foreign policy, and it is a major stumbling block to improving US relations with North Korea. In this article I will argue that Leitenberg’s thesis is a house of cards built on forged docu- ments, false claims and fake facts.
