    Towson University College of Graduate Studies and Research JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT CAMPS: EFFECT UPON WARTIME AND POST-WAR MALE AND FEMALE GENDER ROLES WITHIN FAMILY AND COMMUNITY By Holly B. 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. Turner The purpose of this thesis is to educate readers about a topic that often is overlooked and to provide additional information and offer a new interpretation about the transformation of gender roles from Japanese American men and women who were sent to internment camps during WWII.

Nichols, Chair, Dept. of Romance Languages & Literatures, and Amanda Anderson, Chair, Dept. of English 1 2 Dear NeMLA Friends — Thank you for welcoming me as Executive Director of the Northeast Modern Language Association with the panels and presentations that you have created and are presenting this weekend. This is the largest and most diverse convention that NeMLA has presented in years. It has been an amazing challenge and a pleasure to put this together for you. NeMLA is deeply committed to promoting teaching and scholarship in the modern languages. This year has seen a particular increase in panels in Italian, Spanish, German and French. The Board created new Board positions in Comparative Literatures and Popular Culture to support the growing interest in interdisciplinary work and in other foreign languages. Your strong response to NeMLA elections this year helps assure that the Board will continue to be responsive and proactive to meeting the needs of our members. NeMLA has also worked this year to improve our service to our members. We were able to decrease our fees by 8% and to reduce our media charges from $40 to $10. My predecessor Josephine McQuail established research fellowships with the Newberry Library, in addition to our Summer fellowships and American Antiquarian Society. In addition to increasing the number of travel grants awarded to graduate students, we also created the Graduate Student Assistantship program, to provide support and administrative opportunities. Our new webmasters Vincent Guihan and Andrew Schopp have streamlined and improved our website to improve communication.
