Many interracial families, however, were exempted from this racial project called the internment. The form of the exemption was an administrative permit granted to its holder on the basis of their marital or patrilineal proximity to whiteness. This article analyzes these permits relying on archival research and applying a critical race feminist lens to explore how law was constitutive of race at this moment in Canadian history. I argue that the permits recategorized interracial intimacies towards two racial ends: to differentiate the citizen from the \u201cenemy alien\u201d; and to regulate the interracial family according to patriarchal common law principles. This article nuances received narratives of law as an instrument of racial exclusion by documenting the way in which a new inclusive state measure sustained old exclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/cls.2021.18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marginal Citizens: Interracial intimacies and the incarceration of Japanese Canadians, 1942\u20131949 Canadian Journal of Law and Society \/ La Revue Canadienne Droit et Soci\u00e9t\u00e9Published online 2021-09-08DOI: 10.1017\/cls.2021.18 Mary Anne Vallianatos, Ph.D. CandidateUniversity of Victoria School of Law, British Columbia Following Japan\u2019s 1941 attacks on Hawai\u2019i and Hong Kong, Canada relocated, detained, and exiled citizens and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,16,19,459,1467,8,26],"tags":[3202,32759,32760,32758],"class_list":["post-62767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-asia","category-canada","category-history","category-law","category-media-archive","category-politics","tag-canadian-journal-of-law-and-society","tag-internment-of-japanese-canadians","tag-la-revue-canadienne-droit-et-societe","tag-mary-anne-vallianatos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62767","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=62767"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62767\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62768,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62767\/revisions\/62768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
