This book analyzes how the politics of memory and history affected
representations of the World War II internment of Japanese
Americans during the last six decades. It compares attempts by
government officials, internees, academics, and activists to
control interpretations of internment causes and consequences in
congressional hearings, court proceedings, scholarship, popular
literature, ethnic community events, monuments, museums, films, and
Web sites. Initial accounts celebrated internee loyalty, military
patriotism, postwar assimilation, and "model minority" success.
Later histories emphasized racist "concentration camps," protests
inside the camps, and continued suffering within the community.
