Following World War II, the Allied Powers occupied Japan from 1945 to 1952, leaving a human legacy: thousands of children of Japanese mothers fathered by men from Australia, the United States, New Zealand, India, and Britain. These mixed-race offspring, and often their mothers, faced intense discrimination.Based on interviews with or research on 150 konketsuji—a now-taboo word for "mixed-blood" Japanese—journalist Walter Hamilton presents vivid first-person accounts of these adults as they remember their experiences of childhood loss. Using archival material from organizations dedicated to assisting the children, he combines moving personal tales with historical and political analyses of international race relations and immigration policy, particularly in North America and Australia.Not only were attitudes and behaviors of the Japanese biased against the mixed-race children, but so were the restrictive and prejudicial immigration policies of the fathers’ native countries. Japan’s racial intolerance was fully matched in the nations it fought against. Hamilton examines how attitudes about race relations have evolved and traces the impact of racial ideology on national policy and cultural identity in Australia, Japan, and the United States.

Hamilton's famous defence of the Aesthetic Movement was first published in 1882. The contents were later updated and expanded for the third edition, of which this current edition is a reprint. A superb source of information regarding the reactions of contemporaries to Aesthetic poetry and the Pre-Raphaelite School of painting, this highly enjoyable and frequently amusing volume contains sections on Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, John Ruskin, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Oscar Wilde, The Grosvenor Gallery, and the Bedford Park Estate. This edition has been newly typeset and formatted to ensure high-quality content and perfect readability; it is not a poor facsimile copy and was not produced using OCR software.
