Joo Ok Kim considers white supremacist expressions of kinship-in prison magazines, memorials, U.S. military songbooks-as well as critiques of such expressions in Chicana\/o and Korean diasporic works to conceptualize racialized formations of kinship emerging from the Korean War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWarring Genealogies\u003c\/i\u003e unpacks writings by Rolando Hinojosa \u003ci\u003e(Korean Love Songs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Useless Servants)\u003c\/i\u003e and Luis Valdez \u003ci\u003e(I Don't Have to Show You No Stinking Badges\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eZoot Suit)\u003c\/i\u003e to show the counter-representations of the Korean War and the problematic depiction of the United States as a benevolent savior.
