World War II is only partially represented in American history and culture, with the Japanese occupation of Korea rarely acknowledged. An analysis of two middle-grade novels, Yoko Kawashima Watkins’ So Far from the Bamboo Grove and Sook Nyul Choi’s Year of Impossible Goodbyes, illuminates three underrepresented issues: conflicting portrayals of the occupation of Korea in two popular children’s texts, the influence of American readers on those narratives, and the ways in which the constructs of stereotypical mothers and daughters are impossible to sustain during wartime.

“战争伤亡”：川崎洋子沃特金斯《远离竹林》和崔淑妮崔永年的再见年，日本占领朝鲜及其对母女的影响

第二次世界大战在美国历史和文化中仅部分代表，日本对朝鲜的占领很少得到承认。对两部中级小说的分析，川岛洋子（Yoko Kawashima Watkins）的《远离竹林》和徐淑妮崔的不可能的再见年，阐明了三个代表性不足的问题：在两本流行的儿童文学作品中对韩国占领的刻画相互矛盾，美国人的影响那些叙事的读者，以及在战争时期无法维持陈规定型的母女构造的读者。
