Carceral Entanglements with Wendi Yamashita Carceral Entanglements Book Talk with author Wendi Yamashita Where: 2125 Rolfe Hall  When: Tuesday, October 15, 12-1:30 pm  Light lunch will be served. Seating is first come first served. Carceral Entanglements: Gendered Public Memories of Japanese American World War II Incarceration argues that Japanese American WWII incarceration narratives substantiate discourses of gender, sexual, racial, and carceral/colonial power yet contain possibilities for disruption. Understanding the contradictory location of Japanese American identity and community through public memory is an important part of ethical and meaningful solidarity work. This talk will focus on the first chapter of the book to examine how antiblackness operates within Japanese American memorial practices and how that has shifted and been challenged after the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
