- Abstract
Joy Kagawa's masterpiece work Obasan records the history of an individual, a family and of a generation. The novel sings the song of silence, and the title character is the epitome of silence. The political significance of the work is on the internment of Canada's Japanese residents during World War II. It is a original work and expressive of a sensibility that wishes to define in relation to each other, Japanese and Canadian way of seeing and even to combine those divergent perceptions in an integrated and distinctive vision.
