This research paper: A 4 page research paper that investigates the propaganda produced in Japan and the US during World War II. During World War II, both the US and Japan engaged in heavy propaganda campaigns that promoted their own particular racial views on the conflict. The propaganda produced by both countries was geared to patterns of racial bigotry. The US produced propaganda that pictured the Japanese primarily animalistic terms. The Japanese, likewise, portrayed Americans as demons and imperialistic megalomaniacs. By focusing on portrayals of race in their propaganda, both countries succeeded in creating their enemy as "other" in the minds of their respective peoples, that is, as "other" than ourselves, and therefore less than human. This is the classic rationalization that justifies atrocities and atrocities were committed on both sides. In his text on this topic, historian John Dower points out that "stereotypes preceded the atrocities" and led an "independent existence apart from any specific events" (Dower 73). Bibliography lists 3 sources.
