330   $aIn her engaging book, Constructing the Enemy, Rajini Srikanth probes the concept of empathy, attempting to understand its different types and how it is-or isn't-generated and maintained in specific circumstances.Using literary texts to illuminate issues of power and discussions of law, Srikanth focuses on two case studies- the internment of Japanese citizens and Japanese Americans in World War II, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the detainment of Muslim Americans and individuals from various nations in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.Through primary doc
