Résumé anglais The wartime experience of Japanese American has now become pivotal in the Nikkei search to recover a lost past and reshape a new cultural identity. Through a collective celebration — the annual pilgrimage to Manzanar in Southern California — Nikkei memory reveals itself polymorphic and contradictory as official, non-official, private and public memories finally overlap. The symbolic significance of the site chosen for this commemorative ceremony, with its two distinct monuments highlights the way the « reinvention of tradition » may help ciment the reunification of a community.
