About Sonia Gomez

Sonia C. Gomez is Assistant Professor of History at Santa Clara University interested in race and ethnic relations; migration and diaspora; and gender and sexuality. Her first book project Picture Bride, War Bride: The Role of Marriage in Shaping Japanese America (NYU Press) examines the ways in which marriage created pockets of legal and social inclusion for Japanese women during the period of racial exclusion. The book traces the ways that gender and sexuality intersected with race and ethnicity to produce categories of inclusion/exclusion for the Japanese in America.
