What Did the Internment of Japanese Americans Mean?

What Did the Internment of Japanese Americans Mean?

Alice Yang Murray
3.5/5 ( ratings)
During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were removed and confined for four years in 16 camps located throughout the western half of the United States. Yet the internment of Japanese Americans in concentration camps remains a largely unknown episode of World War II history. In these selections, students are invited to investigate this event, and to review and challenge the conventional interpretations of its significance. They explore the US government's role in planning and carrying out the removal and internment of thousands of citizens, resident aliens and foreign nationals, and the ways in which Japanese Americans coped with or resisted their removal and incarceration.
