Ongoing Research

Asian/Pacific American Masculinities and Film. This book project addresses the ways in which Asian/Pacific American masculinities have been articulated, shaped, and contested within the context of geopolitical relations between the United States and Asian and race relations within the United States. This book project will contribute significantly to existing scholarship about filmic representations of racial/ethnic difference and Asian/Pacific American masculinities by focusing not only on the political economy and geopolitical context of racial representations but on the actual economic factors of cultural production in relation to the socioeconomic mobility and civic inclusion of the racialized Asian/Pacific American male throughout 20^th century United States History. I have completed research on approximately 50% of the book, and have written rough drafts of two of the projected six chapters.

Japanese Americans in Arizona: From Settlement through 1945. Editor and lead researcher of book project based Japanese Americans in Arizona Oral History Project, which will expand the existing historical narrative of Japanese American history that focuses primarily upon California and Hawai’i with an emphasis on World War II. I am working with Arizona Historical Society and Museum in Tempe to develop museum exhibit by Summer 2006. We have completed 50% of research and interviews. I expect to submit the complete manuscript to University of Arizona Press by January 1, 2005.

Transcending Barbed Wire: The Gila River Indian and Japanese American Experiences of internment at Gila River during World War II. With colleagues at Arizona State University I am developing a community research project that documents the Gila River Indian community’s experience of internment on their land during World War II, and the relationships that subsequently developed between Gila River Indians and Japanese Americans. This project is currently in the planning stages, with an emphasis on developing community partnerships.
