OverviewThis book explores U.S-Japanese relations in the inter-war period. It has recieved excellent reviews from top scholars in the field. Completely original, this project represents an entirely unique approach to American national identity and explores an often dismissed medium. It draws its arguments from primary sources and hands-on research: interviews, museum collections, films, television, archival materials, correspondence, etc.Because of its focus on American cultural history, this book would be appealing to students and scholars of U.S. history and cultural studies, as well as to specialists of theatre history and performance art studies. It will also appeal to postmodern theorists, anthropologists, and art historians, not to mention practitioners of the art form itself.This study explores US-Japanese relations in the interwar period to find that the seeds of the Pacific War were sown in the failure of cultural diplomacy and the growth of mutually antagonistic images. While most Americans came to see Japan's modernity as a facade, the Japanese began to group Americans with the warlike European powers.
