The author artfully blends oral histories with an historical and political analysis of international race relations and immigration policy in North America and Australia, to highlight the little-known story of the thousands of children that resulted from the unions of Japanese women and Allied servicemen posted to Japan following WWII. It is a powerful narrative of loss, longing and reconnection, written by the ABC's long-time Tokyo correspondent, Walter Hamilton.Multiracial childrenJapanIdentity (Psychology)Social aspectsJapanMilitary bases, AmericanSocial aspectsJapanWorld War, 1939-1945White Australia policyWar bridesJapanHistoryAllied occupation, 1945-1952JapanSocial life and customs1945-AustraliaRelationsJapanMultiracial childrenIdentity (Psychology)Social aspectsMilitary bases, AmericanSocial aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945.White Australia policy.War brides.915.2Hamilton Walter1952-1693664MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807223603321Children of the occupation4071637UNINA
