Dr. Rose Cuison-Villazor's research on Forbidden Love highlights the ways that military, immigration, and other federal officials restricted the ability of Japanese women and American men to marry during the U.S. government’s occupation of Japan (1945 to 1952). In so doing, Forbidden Love reveals the federal government’s central role, alongside state actors, in obstructing interracial marriages and reinforcing a racial caste system in the United States.
