Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on the Japanese American writers and artists who spent their adolescence in the internment camps during WWII and were devoted to socialism in the 1970s. The result was that I published 6 articles (three Japanese and three, English), and gave 10 presentations (five Japanese and five English). Especially, I achieved great results from the International Melville Conference in 2015.
