 +Given the trauma this period of history caused to an entire group of American citizens, it is not surprising it has gathered the attention of visual artists. Roger Shimomura was born in Seattle in 1939, the year World War II began and two years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Both of his parents were born in the United States, yet despite this fact, the Shimomura family was relocated to the Minidoka concentration camp in Idaho where they remained for about two years. Although he was but a young child at the time, these events had a profound effect upon his future art.

 鉴于这段历史给整个美国公民群体带来的创伤，它聚集了视觉艺术家的关注也就不足为奇了。罗杰·岛村1939年出生在西雅图，那一年二战开始，比珍珠港被炸的时间早两年。他的父母都出生在美国，然而尽管如此，岛村一家还是被迁往爱达荷州的米尼多卡集中营，在那里呆了大约两年。虽然当时他还是个孩子，但这些事件对他未来的艺术产生了深远的影响。 鉴于这段历史给整个美国公民群体带来的创伤，它聚集了视觉艺术家的关注也就不足为奇了。罗杰·岛村1939年出生在西雅图，那一年二战开始，比珍珠港被炸的时间早两年。他的父母都出生在美国，然而尽管如此，岛村一家还是被迁往爱达荷州的米尼多卡集中营，在那里呆了大约两年。虽然当时他还是个孩子，但这些事件对他未来的艺术产生了深远的影响。

 +==== Oil, Gulf War, and Creating Coalitions - 石油、海湾战争与建立联盟 ====
 +
 +<div group>
 +<div half column>
 +The United States had been a reluctant entrant into the two World Wars of the twentieth century. By the end of that century, however, the position that the United States held in world affairs had dramatically changed. The nation had become both politically proactive and reactive. An excellent example is when the United States swiftly responded to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on 2 August 1990. This Iraqi military action did not directly involve American military or civilian interests (aside from the worldwide repercussions to the oil market). Yet, the United States—in conjunction with a United Nations coalition that involved more than thirty other countries—led a military operation to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait and restore their sovereignty. In less than a century, the United States had transitioned from hesitantly joining coalitions to creating them.

 +美国一直是一个不情愿参加二十世纪两次世界大战的国家。然而，到该世纪末，美国在世界事务中的地位发生了巨大变化。这个国家在政治上变得既主动又被动。一个很好的例子是，1990年8月2日，美国对伊拉克入侵科威特作出了迅速反应。伊拉克的这一军事行动并没有直接涉及美国的军事或民用利益（除了对石油市场的世界性影响外）。然而，美国与其他三十多个国家参与的联合国联盟一起，领导了一次将伊拉克军队赶出科威特并恢复其主权的军事行动。在不到一个世纪的时间里，美国从犹豫不决地加入联盟过渡到创建联盟。

 +From the American perspective, the Gulf War consisted of two distinct phases. The first, Operation Desert Shield (2 August 1990 – 17 January 1991), involved the buildup of American and coalition forces in the Persian Gulf area. In the midst of this—on 29 November 1990—the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 678. This mandated that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein withdraw all troops from Kuwait by the deadline of 15 January 1991. When that deadline came and passed, the second phase—Operation Desert Storm—commenced on 17 January. The early weeks of this conflict involved attacks from coalition naval and air forces. After more than a month of such conflict, a large-scale (but brief) ground assault began on 24 February. The conflict came to an end on 28 February.

 +从美国的角度来看，海湾战争由两个不同的阶段组成。第一个阶段是“沙漠盾牌行动”（1990年8月2日至1991年1月17日），涉及美国和联军在波斯湾地区的集结。在这中间，1990年11月29日，联合国安全理事会通过了第678号决议。该决议要求伊拉克领导人萨达姆·侯赛因在1991年1月15日这一最后期限之前从科威特撤出所有军队。当这一最后期限到来并过去后，第二阶段的“沙漠风暴行动”于1月17日开始。在这场冲突的最初几个星期里，联军的海军和空军发动了攻击。经过一个多月的冲突，2月24日开始了大规模（但时间很短）的地面攻击。冲突于2月28日结束。

 +Yet months before—beginning in December 1990—Iraqi military forces had begun to place explosive charges on hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells, understanding, that motives on both sides of the conflict had little to do with the sovereignty of Kuwait, but rather it’s oil. In the days leading up to the Security Council mandated withdraw date, the Iraqis began to sabotage these oil wells. The oil fires hit an apex in the days surrounding the ground assault, as the Iraqi military implemented a scorched earth policy during their retreat from Kuwait. In total, between 600 and 700 oil wells were set ablaze. The last one was not capped until November.

 +然而，几个月前——从1990年12月开始——伊拉克军队就开始在数百口科威特油井上放置炸药。他们明白，冲突双方的动机与科威特的主权无关，而是与石油有关。在安全理事会规定的撤军日期之前的几天，伊拉克人开始破坏这些油井。石油大火在地面攻击的几天里达到了顶点，因为伊拉克军队在从科威特撤退的过程中实施了焦土政策。总共有600至700口油井被烧毁。最后一口油井直到11月才封顶。

 +Clearly, this was one of the greatest environmental tragedies of human history, and it gathered the attention of Sebastiao Salgado, a Brazilian photographer who was in Iraq documenting this disaster. The black-and white photograph //Kuwait// (1991) shows the repercussions of this environmental catastrophe. It is a strongly vertical composition; a man stands to the left of center, reaching up to a hanging element. Just to the right of center is the wellhead itself, and it forcefully shoots jet-black oil beyond the frame of the photograph. Three other men who are knee-deep in oil join that standing figure, and each has been so soaked in the viscous liquid that they appear to be bronze statues, frozen in time. The high value of the whites and grays in the foreground also reinforce that the earth has been thoroughly soaked, while gazing to the horizon line, we can see no less than three wells on fire. This very scene is likely happening at other places. Clearly, this photography documents an environmental catastrophe. But it also murmurs about the American involvement in a foreign skirmish and our increased role on the world stage.

 +显然，这个人类历史上最大的环境悲剧之一，引起了在伊拉克记录这场灾难的巴西摄影师塞巴斯蒂奥·萨尔加多的注意。黑白照片《科威特》（1991年）展现了这场环境灾难的影响。这是一个强烈的垂直构图：一个男人站在中间的左边，伸手去够一个悬挂的东西。在中心的右边是井口本身，它有力地将喷黑的油射出照片的框架之外。另外三个被油浸泡到膝盖深的男人也加入了那个站立的身影，他们每个人都已经被粘稠的液体浸泡，仿佛是铜像，凝固在时间里。前景中的高明度的白色和灰色也强调了了大地已经被石油彻底浸泡。向地平线望去，我们可以看到不少于三口井在燃烧。这一幕很可能发生在其他地方。显然，这张照片记录了一场环境灾难。但是，它也在喃喃自语着美国人卷入一场对外战争，以及美国人在世界舞台上的变得越来越显眼。

 +The history of the United States—and of the American colonies before it—is a complicated story. From humble beginnings as the overseas possessions of foreign countries through numerous transitions leading to the United States being one of the true superpowers and a geopolitical leader. In between these endpoints was change, and growth. The United States of today is not the United States of a century ago, and though it is difficult to predict the future, it is easy to imagine that the United States of the future will be different again. Whatever it is that American will be in the future, it is likely that artists will chronicle and comment on those changes. In doing so, they will continue to shed light on the United States and its people.

 +美国及其之前的殖民地的历史是一个复杂的故事。从作为外国的海外属地、卑微的开始，经过无数的转变，到美国成为一个真正的超级大国和地缘政治领导者。在这些端点之间是变化和增长。今日美国已不是一个世纪前的美国，虽然很难预测未来，但很容易想象未来的美国将再次不同。不管美国未来会变成什么样子，艺术家们很可能会对这些变化进行编年史和评论。在这样做的同时，他们将继续让人们了解美国及其人民。
