Triumph of an Idea_Japanese Internment and the Survival of Democracy Abstract The principles found in the Declaration of Independence have been what has united the disparate cultures and ethnicities that make up the United States of America. Racial prejudice, war hysteria, and political opportunism have attempted at times to smother these principles. Such a time occurred during World War II when the Japanese Americans were interned. But, those in the academic community, the church communities, and the Nisei themselves ensured that the democratic principles of the Declaration would ultimately triumph.

Perhaps, as some have noted, this is a sad reflection on the state of empire in the post-war world, as prison memoirs as a body of work are truly international in scope.3 At the same time, because the United States has an unenviable record of imprisoning its own, there is equally rich literature in terms of the domestic scene.4 Within the latter category, special consideration can be accorded to memoirs by prisoners of conscience.5 Such 1 This paper is an extended version of a February 2012 presentation that Lane Ryo Hirabayashi delivered at The 25th Anniversary of United States v.

Pomimo zgłębiania źródeł zastanych w wymie- Knionych językach, nie można zapomnieć o specyfice kultury Japonii, wyrażanej w określeniach honne i tatemae. Słowo honne odwołuje się do uczuć i przemyśleń rozumianych jedynie przez przedstawicieli narodu japońskiego, uważanych za dostępne tylko i wyłącznie dla nich. Japończycy wierzą, że ob- cokrajowiec nie jest w stanie w pełni dotrzeć do istoty honne, a tym bardziej jej zrozumieć, dlatego do niego skierowane są tatemae, zachowania i opinie prze- znaczone dla szerszej publiki.

    Date: August 9, 1995 Place: Seattle, Washington Narrator: Kenji Okuda Interviewer: Louis Fiset LF: I’d like to begin by asking you to share with me something about your family background, prior to your birth. KO: My father, I’ve forgotten the exact date, came to the U.S. from Japan in the 1880s or 90s. He’s one of the earlier Japanese in the migration movement to the U.S. He landed initially in San Francisco, worked in the grape fields, or some agricultural labor, and then moved up, or learned enough English so that he became sort of a labor contractor. Recruiting other Japanese to work in the fields around San Francisco, south of San Francisco. Then he came to Seattle, again, before 1900. He didn’t spend that much time in California. He decided there would be more opportunities in Seattle, and came up here. Shortly after he came, again, his first marriage in the U.S. was with a lady who had been teaching English to Japanese immigrants -- I think under the auspices of the Methodist church in Seattle, on Capital Hill. She passed away then my dad married my mother who was already in Seattle. She comes from another part of Japan, in about 1920. I was the first born in 1922, then my sisters followed one and two years later. I was born on Pike Street near the theater district, in the Paramount theater area. Then Dad bought this house on Beacon Hill, south of downtown Seattle. I think my sisters were born there.
