Discovering My Mother as the Other in the Saturday Evening Post

Wellesley College

This article begins by mapping an oral history project on World War II Japanese war brides in which the objective boundaries between the insider and outsider relationships of the interviewer and her subjects not only collapse but give way to a more self-reflexive and collaborative project between the interviewer and her own war bride mother. The final result is one which raises questions about the limits of objectivity in conducting feminist research that is situated close to one's own home as well as the relationship of women's silences to speech.

Key Words: Japanese women • war bride • World War II • photograph • ethnography
