    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.
