Description

Bernice Archer's comparative study of the experiences of the Western civilians interned by the Japanese in mixed family camps and sexually segregated camps in the Far East, combines a wide variety of conventional and unconventional source material.

This includes contemporary War, Foreign and Colonial Office papers, diaries, letters, camp newspapers and artefacts, post-war medical, engineering and educational reports, biographies, autobiographies, memoirs and over fifty oral interviews with ex-internees.

Using contemporary personal accounts, the shock of the Japanese victories and the devastating experience of capture are highlighted.

This book also covers wider issues such as the role of women in war, gender and war, children and war, colonial culture, oral history, and war and memory.
