 II\, Japanese was deemed the enemy language\, resulting in the erasure of c
 ultural heritage\, archival sources\, and histories based on the Japanese-l
 anguage. My aim is to recover the undocumented loss and perseverance of war
 -time Japanese-language literary spaces\, through tracing the journey of a 
 Japanese-language book collection in Canada\, from pre-war\, war-time\, to 
 postwar. I deal with questions of archives and memory\, cultural and lingui
 stic loss\, and forms of resistance.</p><p>This talk is free and open to th
