Indeed, historical research convincingly interprets the Pacific War as a \u201crace war\u201d within the contexts of military engagement and state rhetoric. We know little, however, about how resident Westerners lived and interacted with Japanese during the war and whether they became victims of racial hatred. This article explores the impacts of state ideology on Japanese citizens\u2019 racial attitudes by examining the treatment and experiences of mixed-race individuals, and Eurasians particularly, stranded in Japan during the war. In doing so, it contextualizes and corrects harmful allegations of racism among civilian Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usfca.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/pdfs\/brecher_pp4-19_final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PDF<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/jayna.usfca.edu\/asia-pacific-perspectives\/center-asia-pacific\/perspectives\/v14n2\/brecher.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HTML<\/a> format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>his article explores the impacts of state ideology on Japanese citizens\u2019 racial attitudes by examining the treatment and experiences of mixed-race individuals, and Eurasians particularly, stranded in Japan during the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,16,459,8],"tags":[26941,33706,32557,1793,32171],"class_list":["post-61930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-asia","category-history","category-media-archive","tag-asia-pacific-perspectives","tag-asia-pacific-perspectives-a-publication-of-the-center-for-asia-pacific-studies","tag-james-harris","tag-japan","tag-w-puck-brecher"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61930"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64069,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61930\/revisions\/64069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
