This is an oversize (8.5 x 11 inch), softcover book. "This thesis investigates the traumatic internment experiences of Japanese-Canadian children during World War II in Canadian fictional writings. Specifically, this thesis examines the trauma these children have suffered as represented in three adult novels: Joy Kogawa's Obasan (1981), Kerri Sakamoto's The Electrical Field (1998), and Frances Itani's Requiem (2011) and two children's books: Shizuye Takashima's A Child in Prison Camp (1971) and Kogawa's Naomi's Road (2005)." -Dr. Min Lei
