Children of the Occupation

- Japan's Untold Story

Bag om Children of the Occupation

Following World War II, the Allied Powers occupied Japan from 1945 to 1952, leaving thousands of children of Japanese mothers fathered by men from Australia, the United States, New Zealand, India, and Britain. These mixed-race offspring, and often their mothers, faced intense discrimination. Based on interviews with or research on 150 konketsuji—a now-taboo word for "mixed-blood" Japanese—journalist Walter Hamilton presents vivid first-person accounts of these adults as they remember their experiences of childhood loss.
