Abstract	"Two tropes circulating in discussions of the types of architecture that were purpose-built for confinement are the carceral archipelago and the panopticon prison, both used in scholarship on disciplinary institutions in ways useful for our focus. They have not yet been used for discussions of Pacific War incarceration environments. For this volume, a wide arc of the Pacific geography interpreted through carceral sites conjures a network of isolated camps reminiscent of Aleksandr Solzenitsyn's description of the Soviet Gulag system under Stalin"-- Provided by publisher.
