  • The Effects of Private Memory on the Redress Movement of Japanese Americans
    From Private Moments to Public Calls for Justice: The Effects of Private Memory on the Redress Movement of Japanese Americans A thesis submitted to the Department of History, Miami University, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in History. Sarah Franklin Doran Miami University Oxford, Ohio May 201 ii ABSTRACT FROM PRIVATE MOMENTS TO PUBLIC CALLS FOR JUSTICE: THE EFFECTS OF PRIVVATE MEMORY ON THE REDRESS MOVEMENT OF JAPANESE AMERICANS Sarah Doran It has been 68 years since President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the internment of more than 110,000 Japanese Americans. This period of internment would shape the lives of all of those directly involved and have ramifications even four generations later. Due to the lack of communication between family members who were interned and their children, the movement for redress was not largely popular until the 1970s. Many families classified their time in the internment camps as subjects that were off limits, thus, leaving children without the true knowledge of their heritage. Because memories were not shared within the household, younger generations had no pressing reason to fight for redress. It was only after an opening in the avenue of communication between the generations that the search for true justice could commence. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how communication patterns within the home, the Japanese-American community, and ultimately the nation changed to allow for the successful completion of a reparation movement. What occurred to encourage those who were interned to end their silence and share their experiences with their children, grandchildren, and the greater community? Further, what external factors influenced this same phenomenon? The research for this project was largely accomplished through reading memoirs and historical monographs.

  • Amache Teacher Resource Guide-Secondary
    Annotated Resource Set (ARS) Amache Teacher Resource Guide-Secondary Title/Content Area: Amache /US History Developed by: Kelly Jones-Wagy Grade Level: 9-12 Contextual Paragraph During World War II, 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps—including one in southeastern Colorado called the Granada Relocation Center, or “Amache.” Camp Amache was one of ten War Relocation Authority, or internment, camps where US authorities forced Japanese Americans to live after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Home to nearly 7,300 internees from 1942 to 1945, Amache now is a National Historic Landmark. Governor Ralph L. Carr took an unpopular stance, inviting Japanese Americans to stay in Colorado after the war and publicly stating his opinion that internment was unconstitutional. Amache officially closed in October 1945 following the end of World War II. However, for many of the Japanese internees, there was no home to return to. Some chose to stay in Colorado, as they were welcomed by Governor Carr. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act, awarding $20,000 to every surviving internee and essentially apologizing for the internment process. 1 Resource Set Title Letter from Governor Letter from Robert D.

JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT: A TRAGEDY OF WAR A Reflexive Essay Presented To The Academic Faculty Amber Martinez In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies Kennesaw State University (May, 2014) 1 Japanese American internment in the United States during World War II affected thousands of lives for generations yet it remains hidden in historical memory. There have been surges of public interest since the release of the internees, such as during the Civil Rights movement and the campaign for redress, which led to renewed interest in scholarship investigating the internment. Once redress was achieved in 1988, public interest waned again as did published analysis of the internment. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan began, American pride and displays of homeland loyalty created a unique event in American history.

Internment in Hawaii was far more severe than it was in Arkansas. This claim is supported by both primary sources, derived mainly from oral interviews, and secondary sources made up of scholarly research that has been conducted on the topic since the events of Japanese American internment occurred.

These immediate casualties became a rallying point for the United States entry into the Pacific Theater and World War II. However, the 2,335 Navy serviceman and 55 American civilians were not the only casualties of that day. Shortly after the attack in Pearl Harbor, two-thousand Japanese Americans were rounded up and incarcerated under suspicion of being possible Japanese sympathizers.1 They were followed within the next few weeks by around 120,000 others, only because their lineage traced back to the enemy. These citizens and their families would remain incarcerated until 1946, when the relocation camps were officially closed.2 From the camps they emerged fundamentally changed, becoming silent about their experiences. The culture of silence that followed was so prevalent that many of their children knew little to nothing about incarceration and internment.3 They felt that this silence was necessary in order to protect their children and their grandchildren from the shame of what had happened.4 Yet, as the memory of internment slowly crept back into the community, it birthed what we come to call today the Japanese Redress Movement; this protective nature toward their children later compelled around 750 Japanese Americans to testify about their experiences.5 The goals of the Redress movement included: A quest to absolve themselves of the accusations made against them during the war, an attempt to gain monetary reparations for 1 Mitchell T.

Turner A thesis Presented to the faculty of Towson University In partial fulfillment Of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Social Science January, 2012 Towson University Towson, Maryland 21252 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Upon the completion of this Master’s thesis, I sincerely want to thank my committee members Dr. Clifford, Dr. Korzi, Dr. Dombrowski-Risser, and Dr. Masatsugu. I would not have been able to do this without them. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Masatsugu who spent hours helping and encouraging me to keep growing and researching this topic. I would not have chosen this topic if it was not for Dr. Dombrowski-Risser’s Comparative Historiography Women and War class, which exposed me in great detail to Japanese American Internment. Simultaneously, my Japanese grandmother passed two weeks prior to Dr. Dombrowski-Risser’s class, which emotionally I was attracted to this subject. I want to thank my family and friends for all their love and support throughout this academic journey. They listened to me the entire time ramble on about my work. Thank you to everyone who believed in me and for being so patient. Lastly, I want to thank my grandmother, Hisae Nagasaka DeLuca, my inspiration for writing this paper. iii ABSTRACT JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT CAMPS: EFFECT UPON WARTIME AND POST-WAR GENDER ROLES WITHIN FAMILY AND COMMUNITY Holly B.

  • Chapter 8 Manzanar
    CHAPTER 8 MANZANAR Introduction The Manzanar Relocation Center, initially referred to as the “Owens Valley Reception Center”, was located at about 36oo44' N latitude and 118 09'W longitude, and at about 3,900 feet elevation in east-central California’s Inyo County (Figure 8.1). Independence lay about six miles north and Lone Pine approximately ten miles south along U.S. highway 395. Los Angeles is about 225 miles to the south and Las Vegas approximately 230 miles to the southeast. The relocation center was named after Manzanar, a turn-of-the-century fruit town at the site that disappeared after the City of Los Angeles purchased its land and water. The Los Angeles Aqueduct lies about a mile to the east. The Works Progress Administration (1939, p. 517-518), on the eve of World War II, described this area as: This section of US 395 penetrates a land of contrasts–cool crests and burning lowlands, fertile agricultural regions and untamed deserts. It is a land where Indians made a last stand against the invading white man, where bandits sought refuge from early vigilante retribution; a land of fortunes–past and present–in gold, silver, tungsten, marble, soda, and borax; and a land esteemed by sportsmen because of scores of lakes and streams abounding with trout and forests alive with game. The highway follows the irregular base of the towering Sierra Nevada, past the highest peak in any of the States–Mount Whitney–at the western approach to Death Valley, the Nation’s lowest, and hottest, area. The following pages address: 1) the physical and human setting in which Manzanar was located; 2) why east central California was selected for a relocation center; 3) the structural layout of Manzanar; 4) the origins of Manzanar’s evacuees; 5) how Manzanar’s evacuees interacted with the physical and human environments of east central California; 6) relocation patterns of Manzanar’s evacuees; 7) the fate of Manzanar after closing; and 8) the impact of Manzanar on east central California some 60 years after closing.
