Biographical Note Dorothy B. Fujita-Rony is an Associate Professor in the Department of Asian American Studies at University of California, Irvine. She received her Ph.D. (1995) from Yale University in the Department of American Studies. Review Quotes “This book makes significant contributions to Asian American studies, studies of empire and colonialism, US Cold War history, women’s history, and gender studies. Dorothy B. Fujita-Rony marshals a wealth of evidence from personal narratives and material culture to reveal how women’s “memorykeeping” constitutes a practice of resistance and critique. Her study illuminates the workings of multiple empires in the everyday life of two Toba Batak women, H.L. Tobing and Minar T. Rony, making visible the intertwined forces of gender and empire." - Valerie Matsumoto,
