Abstract：Soon after the Second World War the United States of America turned Japan, an enemy in the war, into an ally. This move was not difficult to explain in the contexts of Cold War, geo-politics, and the "America's interest" in becoming the super power in the world. However, for this move that reversed the conception of Japan from a foe to a friend to be accepted by American people is a puzzle not widely known. The book, America's Geisha Ally: Reimagining the Japanese Enemy, tries to recover this puzzle from political, cultural and psychological perspectives. This paper takes gender and the intersection between gender and race as points of entry to reveal how the author of the book discussed that the American mainstream media utilized gender, maturity and race as discourses to manipulate public opinion and explain the meaning of "turning a foe to an ally."
