| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to examine how the occupational periods of Imperial Japan are represented in Asian American literature. In recent years, not a few Asian American authors show their keen interests in the history of their Asian homeland, depicting Japanese occupation periods mostly in critical ways. I first made up a list of related literary works, then analyzed them both comprehensively and individually. I found a new tendency in which authors of younger generation depict historical episodes in somewhat critical but indirect manners, which seems to lead readers to evaluate the history by themselves.
