Art, Literature, and the Japanese American Internment: On John Okada's No-No Boy

by Thomas Girst

This study explores the cultural trajectory of Japanese American internment, both during and after World War II. It also provides the most exhaustive biographical outline of John Okada to date and refutes the assumption that his novel No-No Boy was all but shunned when first published. A close reading positions the book within world literature.
