This book addresses the forced removal and confinement of Japanese
Americans during World War II-a topic significant to all Americans,
regardless of race or color. The internment of Japanese Americans
was a violation of the Constitution and its guarantee of equal
protection under the law-yet it was authorized by a presidential
order, given substance by an act of Congress, and affirmed by the
U.S. Supreme Court. Japanese internment is a topic that we as
Americans cannot afford to forget or be ignorant of. This work
spotlights an important subject that is often only described in a
cursory fashion in general textbooks. It provides a comprehensive,
accessible treatment of the events of Japanese American internment
that includes topical, event, and biographical entries; a
chronology and comprehensive bibliography; and primary documents
that help bring the event to life for readers and promote inquiry
and critical thinking. Provides comprehensive, authoritative,
concise, and clearly written information about the internment of
Japanese Americans in a single volume Combines first-hand accounts
by participants in this tragic and historic experience with
detailed descriptions of assembly centers, concentration camps, and
military and Justice Department internment camps to enable readers
to imagine what being interned was like Describes historic events;
examines the legal, political, and social ramifications; supplies
biographies of key individuals; and discusses the significance of
Japanese internment in Asian American history Serves as an
effective introduction to the subject of Japanese American
internment for high school and undergraduate students as well as
general readers
