"In The Spectacle of Japanese American Trauma, Emily Roxworthy contests the notion
that the U.S. government's internment policies during World War II had little impact
on the postwar lives of most Japanese Americans. After the curtain was lowered on
the war following the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, many Americans behaved as
if the "theatre of war" had ended and life could return to normal. Roxworthy demonstrates
that this theatrical logic of segregating the real from the staged, the authentic
experience from the political display, grew out of the manner in which internment
was agitated for and instituted by the U.S. government and media ; During the war,
Japanese Americans struggled to define themselves within the web of this theatrical
logic, and they continue to reenact this trauma in public and private to this day."--BOOK
