Letter from Kay Yamashita to Pooh, November 1, 1942
No full textLetter from Kay Yamashita to Pooh at the Sakai house, written from Topaz incarceration camp. Yamashita mentions the Student Relocation Council and activities of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a scheduled visit from Caleb Foote, and the arrival of a new teacher at the camp high school, F.O.R. member Mary McMillan. Yamashita asks if Joe [Joseph R. Goodman] would be willing to come teach at the high school. Kay also writes of lack of adequate heating in the cold weather, and of censorship of the camp newsletter: "If you get a hold of one of our Topaz Times, now a daily news sheet, don't believe all - it's highly censored - about as much as our Tanforan newspaper was - they're afraid to let anything unpleasant or detrimental to the administration out." Yamashita also mention lack of available or willing workers for farm labor in the camp.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide

No full textLetter from Kay Yamashita to Elizabeth B. and Joseph R. Goodman, written from Topaz incarceration camp. Yamashita writes of Christmas and New Year's festivities, and uncertainty and depression among students at the camp. She asks the Goodmans to send reading material for the students, and mentions that a student was allowed to go on leave. She mentions that the camp director, Mr. Ernst, who was broke regulations to permit an incarceree to visit his dying father at Tule Lake without an escort.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

The Magic Realist Unconscious: Twain, Yamashita and Jackson
No full textThe literary topic of Siamese twins is not unfamiliar. American literary history tells us of the genealogy from Mark Twain’s pseudo-antebellum story The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson and the Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins (1894), Karen Tei Yamashita’s postmodern metafiction “Siamese Twins and Mongoloids: Cultural Appropriation and the Deconstruction of Stereotype via the Absurdity of Metaphor” (1999), down to Shelley Jackson’s James Tiptree, Jr. award winner Half-Life (2006). Rereading these works, we are easily invited to notice the political unconscious hidden deep within each plot: Twain’s selection of the Italian Siamese twins based upon Chang and Eng Bunker, antebellum stars of the Barnum Museum, cannot help but recall the ideal of the post-Civil War world uniting the North and the South; Yamashita’s figure of the conjoined twins Heco and Okada derives from Hikozo Hamada, an antebellum Japanese who made every effort to empower the bond between Japan and the United States, and John Okada, the Japanese American writer well known for his masterpiece No No Boy (1957); and Jackson’s characterization of the female conjoined twins Nora and Blanche Olney represents a new civil rights movement in the post-Cold War age in the near future, establishing a close friendship between the humans and the post-humans. This literary and cultural context should convince us that Yamashita’s short story “Siamese Twins and Mongoloids” serves as a kind of singularity point between realist twins and magic realist twins. Influenced by Twain’s twins, Yamashita paves the way for the re-figuration of the conjoined twins not only as tragi-comical freaks in the Gilded Age but also as representative men of magic realist America in our Multiculturalist Age. A Close reading of this metafiction composed in a way reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges, Stanislaw Lem and Bruce Sterling will enable us to rediscover not only the role conjoined twins played in cultural history, but also the reason why Yamashita had to feature them once again in her novel I Hotel (2010) whose plot centers around the Asian American civil rights movement between the 1960s and the 1970s. Accordingly, an Asian American magic realist perspective will clarify the way Yamashita positioned the figure of Siamese Twins as representing legal and political double standards, and the way the catachresis of Siamese Twins came to be naturalized, questioned and dismissed in American literary history from the 19th century through the 21st century
Multiwavelength, bi-directional Brillouin/erbium fibre ring laser pumped with an intracavity fibre DFB laser
No full textWe present multiwavelength and bi-directional operation of a novel Brillouin/erbium fibre ring laser. The laser is pumped with an Er3+:Yb3+ fibre DFB laser inserted into the ring cavity. We realised lasing at six wavelengths separated by 10.6 GHz
Single-polarisation operation of fibre distributed feedback (DFB) lasers by injection locking
No full textThis paper investigated injection locking characteristics of a fiber distributed feedback (DFB) laser operating in dual polarizations, and found that it could operate in a single polarization by injection locking. The locking bandwidth was less than 10 MHz, much than DFB laser diodes as a consequence of longer cavity length and resulting longer photon lifetime. As a more practical method to realize single-polarization operation of the fiber DFB laser, We Proposed self-injection locking with a polarization-selective optical feedback composed of a mirror and a polarizer, and demonstrated a stable single-polarization operation
Single-polarisation operation of injection locked fibre DFB lasers
No full textWe report that fibre DFB lasers could successfully operate in a single polarisation, either by injection locking with an external singlepolarisation light, or by self-injection locking with a polarisation-selective optical feedback
