Though much has been said about Japanese-American incarceration
camps, little attention is paid to the community newspapers closest
to the camps and how they constructed the identities and lives of
the occupants inside. Dependent on government and military
officials for information, these journalists rarely wrote about the
violation of the evacuees' civil rights. Instead, they concentrated
on the economic impact the camps-and the evacuees, who would
replace workers off to enlist in the military and work for defense
contractors-would have on the areas they covered. Newspapers like
the Cody Enterprise and Powell Tribune in Wyoming, the Lamar Daily
News, and the Casa Grande Dispatch regularly published overly
optimistic updates on the progress of construction, the size of the
contractor payrolls, and the amount of materials used to build the
camps. Ronald Bishop and his coauthors reveal how journalists
positioned the incarceration camps as a potential economic boon and
how evacuees were framed as another community group, there to
contribute to the region's economic well-being. Community
Newspapers and the Japanese-American Incarceration Camps examines
the rhetoric and journalistic approach of the local papers and how
they informed the communities just outside their walls. This book
will appeal to scholars of history and journalism.
