Summary/Abstract: Cultural Dialogism and the Outsider-Within in Takashima Shizue’s A Child in Prison Camp. Takashima Shizue’s “A child in prison camp” is a statement of how identity is constructed and assumed in a multi-cultural, but prejudiced, environment. The article explores Shichan’s outsider-within perspective on the dialogue between two cultures during the episode of the internment of Japanese Canadians following the incident at Pearl Harbor.
