 ration in the Aftermath of War</strong></a>\nwith Dr. Naoko Shibusawa of B
 rown University\, Department of History &amp\; Department of American Stud
 ies\n\nThursday\, February 28\, 2013\, 6pm&nbsp\;\nat the PSU Multicultura
 l Center\n238 Smith Memorial Student Union&mdash\;1825 SW Broadway\, Portl
 and\n<em>Free and open to the public</em>\n\nDr. Naoko Shibusawa's talk at
  Portland State University will focus on a tale of two U.S. Army sergeants
 \, Richard M. Sakakida and John David Provoo\, who became prisoners of war
  when the island fortress of Corregidor surrendered to the Japanese on May
  6\, 1942. Because both men understood Japanese\, both translated and were
  given tasks by their Japanese captors. Yet one emerged as a war hero&mdas
 h\;posthumously given a Congressional citation&mdash\;whereas the other\, 
 though ultimately found innocent\, remained hounded by the treason allegat
 ions against him for the rest of his life. Their stories upend racialized 
 normatives about nation and belonging\, showing how the state firmly place
 d the Japanese American man into the circle of patriotism and honor while 
 denying readmission to the white man. This talk will focus on Sakakida's t
 estimony against Provoo at his 1952-53 treason trial and explain how Cold 
 War racial liberalism\, U.S. exceptionalism\, and state surveillance allow
 ed one man to survive World War II collaboration more easily than the othe
 r.\n\nGo to <a href="http://www.pdx.edu/cjs/events/surviving-collaboration
