Canada: Little Tolerance For Hybridized Identity
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Pearl Harbor created fear in the hearts of all North Americans; in order to quell that fear and maintain control over its political, social and economic concerns, Canada worked hard to harshly dissuade any hybrid Japanese residents from becoming spies. These tactics, considered to be over-reactive at best and downright inhumane at worst, included the complete and utter downgrade of a once-participatory and mainstreamed population by forcing Japanese Canadians to forfeit their property, and, after being deprive of liberty, the men "were impressed into forced labor and the women and children transported to ghost towns and abandoned mining camps in the interior of the country to fend for themselves" (Milton 8). The disturbing sting of this sudden intolerance for an individual's hybrid identity has lasted long after the initial reason for its original existence, rendering Canada yet another in a long list of countries where the melting pot of multiculturalism has become an unwelcome entity, an element of modernity painfully portrayed in Wayson Choy's "Jade Peony" and Joy Kogawa's "Obasan."
