项目摘要

Pretty many studies have recently been made of the literature of Hisay Yamamoto, but there are at least two comments to be made on them. One is that very few of her prewar works have been taken up for discussion because they are still buried in history. The other is that no references have been made to her whole literature in terms of the Pacific War, which proposed a serious problem of identity to Japanese Americans, especially to second-generation Japanese Americans.A survey of the works she wrote for about 60 years from before the war till today, reveals that the war made a strong impact on Yamamoto, with the result that she changed her consciousness of identity and that her prewar, wartime and postwar works show their own features. Her prewar works can generally be called a literature of youth and a literature of jokes. But as Japan expanded an invasion in China, which strained Japan-US relations, Yamamoto became more sensitive to political situations both in Japan and in America. She declared her identity as an American just before the war. But with the outbreak of it she became critical of the United States because of her dissatisfaction with a mass incarceration of Japanese Americans into concentration camps and of her grief over her brother's military service as a volunteer. She also showed a pity to defeated Japanese soldiers in a picture. After the war she continued to be critical of racial prejudice in America, and even wrote works of friendship and sympathy with ethnic minorities, supported by her wartime experiences and stimurated by a rising minority movement of the 1960s.

最近，已经对Yamamoto的文学作品进行了许多研究，但至少有两个评论要对其进行。其中之一是，她的战前作品中很少有进行讨论，因为它们仍然被埋葬在历史上。另一个是，没有关于太平洋战争的全部文献的参考，该战争提出了一个严重的对日裔美国人的认同问题，尤其是对第二代日裔美国人。一项对她从战争到今天之前的作品进行了大约60年的调查，这场战争揭示了战争对Yamamoto产生了强烈的影响，并以她的认同表现出了自己的认同性，并宣布了自己的认同性，并彰显了自己的身份，并宣布了自己的努力，并宣布了自己的努力，并宣布了自己的身份，并宣布了自己的身份和邮报，并宣布了自己的身份和邮报，并在努力上又改变了自己的身份，并在努力上又改变了自己的身份，并在努力上又改变了自己的身份，并在纽约的身份上既有又有纽带的努力。她的战前作品通常可以称为青年文学和笑话文学。但是，随着日本在中国的入侵，日本 - 美国关系紧张，山本对日本和美国的政治情况变得更加敏感。她在战前宣布自己是美国人的身份。但是随着爆发的爆发，她对美国的批评是因为她对日裔美国人的大规模监禁陷入了集中营和对哥哥作为志愿者的兵役的悲伤。她还可惜在照片中击败了日本士兵。战争结束后，她继续对美国的种族偏见持批评态度，甚至在战时经历的支持下，还为少数民族而撰写了友谊和同情的作品，并受到1960年代不断上升的少数派运动的刺激。
