Recent decades have drawn more attention to the United States'
treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Few people
realize, however, the extent of the country's relocation,
internment, and repatriation of German and Italian Americans, who
were interned in greater numbers than Japanese Americans. The
United States also assisted other countries, especially in Latin
America, in expelling "dangerous" aliens, primarily Germans. In
Enemies among Us John E. Schmitz examines the causes, conditions,
and consequences of America's selective relocation and internment
of its own citizens and enemy aliens, as well as the effects of
internment on those who experienced it. Looking at German, Italian,
and Japanese Americans, Schmitz analyzes the similarities in the
U.S. government's procedures for those they perceived to be
domestic and hemispheric threats, revealing the consistencies in
the government's treatment of these groups, regardless of race.
Reframing wartime relocation and internment through a broader
chronological perspective and considering policies in the wider
Western Hemisphere, Enemies among Us provides new conclusions as to
why the United States relocated, interned, and repatriated both
aliens and citizens considered enemies.
