Dr. Oikawa will discuss some of the challenges and processes of conducting research at the National Archives (Library and Archives of Canada) in Ottawa for individual, family and community histories of the “Internment.” The presentation will also address research conducted for Mona’s forthcoming book, Cartographies of Violence: Women, Memory, and the Subject(s) of the “Internment,” including insights from interviews conducted with Sansei and Yonsei daughters of women who were expelled from British Columbia in the 1940s.
Mona Oikawa is Associate Professor in the Race, Ethnicity and Indigeneity Program at York University. Her book, Cartographies of Violence: Women, Memory, and the Subject(s) of the “Internment” is forthcoming from the University of Toronto Press.

She has worked for over 30 years in community organizing, including her work with the NAJC in the redress movement.
The Japanese Canadian National Museum communicates to all the Japanese Canadian experience and contribution as an integral part of Canada’s heritage and multicultural society.
