In the two years between her return to Japan from Canada in 1936 and her departure for Shanghai in 1938, Toshiko wrote a number of novels with Nisei protagonists living in the United States. Most works depict the difficulties to live as minority youths during the anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States of the 1920‒30s. “Bubetsu” was the one such novel. Trough an analysis of the representation of Nisei and the Olympic Games in the text, I show that apart from being a sports event, the Games function as powerful device to measure the level of educational and cultural refinement, as well as the spirit of the athletes. Ultimately, they became a scale for measuring excellence of each ethnic group or race, appealing to the audienceʼs “blood pride” through nationalistic enthusiasm.}, pages = {245--253}, title = {国際スポーツ・イベントによる主体化 : 一九三二年のロサンゼルス・オリンピックと 田村(佐藤)俊子「侮蔑」}, volume = {62}, year = {2016} }
