Flowers That Kill
JULY 1, 2009 WEDNESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
During WWII, while the Japanese made sure their divine emperor would never be seen or heard, and used cherry blossoms to symbolize his power, Hitler's image was plastered everywhere, his speeches amplified, and roses were used to reinforce his image as father of the people. Join Jean Feraca with Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney for Flowers That Kill.

Guest
  • Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney, anthropology professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of Kamikaze, Cherry Blossoms, and Nationalisms: The Militarization of Aesthetics in Japanese History
