المستخلص: " During World War II, more than 110 000 Japanese Americans including those Americans of Japanese roots were forced into interior camps after Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This experience left indelible scars on the Japanese Americans. Gotanda’s play Sisters Matsumoto (1998) unfolds the history of Japanese Americans in the first half of the twentieth century. The dramatist shows the reaction of the Japanese Americans to the challenges of the American system and American people post war era. This paper aims at exploring the psychological effect and racism of the Alien Land Law of 1913 and Internment camps experience on the Issei and Nisei’s family after World War II, and consequently their sense of belonging. Gotanda uses Fanon’s notion of “inferiority complex” and “whitening” to show the effect of discrimination and racism on the Japanese Americans. The playwright gives an image of a Japanese American family which seeks to survive and overcome this traumatic experience through their cooperation, solidarity, and fortitude."
