  • Japanese American Internment Camps in Arizona
    JAPANESE AMERICAN INTERNMENT CAMPS IN ARIZONA Minoru Yanagihashi, Ph.D. Suppose a population census of Arizona was taken in January 1943; the breakdown would have been as follows: Phoenix would be the largest city with 65,400, followed by Tucson with 36,800, Poston with 18,000, and Gila River with 13,400.1 Poston and Gila River? What are they? Are these cities? The U.S. government euphemistically called them “relocation centers” and its inhabitants as “evacuees.” Critics, scholars, and Japanese Americans, in general, preferred the term “concentration camps.” “Concentration camps” may sound harsh, but these camps were surrounded by barbed wire, had guard towers, and were guarded by armed soldiers. To be sure, they were not the concentration camps of World War II, such as the Nazi death camps, for the inmates were not tortured or brutalized and the administration of the camp was humane. The term “prisons” is occasionally used, but the camps were not designed as penal colonies, for the inmates had committed no crimes. Another term used is “incarceration camps,” which sounds formal and legalistic, and emphasizes confinement rather than conditions or duration. Although, I have no qualm about using “concentration camps” and have used it in my previous writings, in this paper, I have largely used the term “internment camps,” which denotes confinement to a specific area with certain limitations, and occurring during wartime conditions. What these camps are called is important, for semantics does matter because it reflects the overall view taken and how the subject is approached. A better public relations and a softer image were sought by the government when it used “relocation centers;” it wanted to show how “evacuees” were moved for their own protection.

It adds chapter 5 on the Base Realign- ment and Closure Commission, 2005, and chapter 6 on the Joint Basing Initiative. The original Preface is continued below Over the past twelve years, the base infrastructure of the United States Air Force (USAF) has shrunk rapidly to accommodate force downsizing engendered by the ending of the Cold War. Still more radical changes are necessary to efficiently sup- port the agile forces required to wage the “Global War on Terrorism.” Historically, the ebb, flow, and utilization of Air Force installations are interconnected to changes in the size, composition, and capabilities of major flying and nonflying organizations. As a result, the number of USAF installations has fluctuated accord- ing to the complex interaction of the perceived global threat, technology, strategy, tactics, and projected force structure. This study describes military, technical, eco- nomic, and political reasoning that has influenced the location, or basing, of major flying and nonflying units in the continental United States, excluding Alaska, between 1907 and 2003.
