Abstract
Obasan (1981) recalls how stigmatizing labels served to justify the evacuation of the Japanese-Canadian community from British Columbia. As the “renaming” of the community as enemy aliens entailed loss of home, citizenship and a sense of identity, Obasan explores means to reclaim identity. One way to do so is for the narrator to reclaim space as she inscribes the history of her community into the landscape.
