Wrestling With Tradition: Japanese Activities at Amache, a World War II Incarceration Facility __________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Social Sciences University of Denver __________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts __________ by Zachary A. Starke August 2015 Advisor: Bonnie Clark ©Copyright by Zachary A. Starke 2015 All Rights Reserved Author: Zachary A. Starke Title: Wrestling With Tradition: Japanese Activities at Amache, a World War II Incarceration Facility Advisor: Bonnie Clark Degree Date: August 2015 Abstract I employ archaeological analyses, archival research, and oral histories to investigate traditional Japanese practices that were performed at Amache, a World War II Japanese American incarceration facility. I argue that these inter-generational practices helped to bridge a cultural gap that existed between several generations of Japanese Americans. For many incarcerated Japanese Americans, their first exposure to many traditional activities occurred during incarceration. The resulting social environment incorporated aspects of Japanese, Japanese American, and mainstream American influences, all of which were adapted to conditions during incarceration. Similarly, archaeological analyses allow for the investigation of traditional practice features. These provide evidence regarding the significance of the adapted landscape at Amache. Evidence of these practices suggests Amache internees had both a strong desire to maintain and celebrate these aspects of their Japanese heritage but they also incorporated non-traditional elements that reflected the unique living conditions during incarceration. Incarceration, I argue, created an environment in which a unique internee consciousness was formed in which the use of traditional practices was a focal point. The physical ii remains of traditional practices allow archaeologists to determine aspects of this newly formed consciousness that are not readily apparent in historical documentation. iii Acknowledgements My advisor and professional mentor Bonnie Clark deserves a gigantic debt of gratitude for her assistance in completing this thesis. Not only did Bonnie spend countless hours mentoring me as a professional academic but she works tirelessly for the benefit of her students and the success of her research projects. A significant portion of the field school was also graciously set aside to pursue my research topic for which I am eternally grateful. Thank you to John Hopper and the Amache Preservation Society for their tireless efforts at maintaining and improving the site of Amache. It is through your efforts that Amache retains its high level of significance and allows us to perform our work. The 2014 field school season would have been impossible without the dedication of our undergraduate students and volunteers. To everyone that helped make this research a success, thank you. To those who helped clear brush: I owe you all a great deal of manual labor. My friends and family provided an exhaustive supply of support over the last two years. I would especially like to recognize my in-laws, Bruce and Shelley, who were always eager to provide advice or simply listen. Your enthusiasm for my life makes all the difficult and stressful times worth bearing. Lastly, I would like to thank my beautiful wife, Sarah. If it weren’t for you I never would have believed graduate school was a possibility. Through your unending support, love, and compassion you showed me what I am capable of achieving. Thank you for being my other half. iv Table of Contents Chapter One: Introduction .................................................................................................. 1 Significance………………………………………………………………………..2 Research Questions………………………………………………………………..4 ............

  • Re-Categorizing Americans: Difference, Distinction, and Belonging in the Dillingham Commission (1907-1911) by Seonmin Kim a Diss
    Re-Categorizing Americans: Difference, Distinction, and Belonging in the Dillingham Commission (1907-1911) By Seonmin Kim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ann Swidler, Co-chair Professor Cybelle Fox, Co-chair Professor Irene Bloemraad Professor Mara Loveman Professor Taeku Lee Summer 2018 Abstract Re-categorizing Americans: Difference, Distinction, and Belonging in the Dillingham Commission (1907-1911) By Seonmin Kim Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Ann Swidler, Co-chair Professor Cybelle Fox, Co-chair This dissertation asks how American social scientists and federal bureaucrats generated knowledge about immigrants in the early twentieth century, and how such knowledge led to the re-invention of the boundaries within and around whiteness. To answer these questions, I analyze archival materials related to the Dillingham Commission (1907-1911), an investigative commission that conducted the most comprehensive study of immigrants ever undertaken by the federal government. With the rapid increase of immigration in the late nineteenth century, there was a growing sense that immigration was a problem, and both the public and elite policymakers deliberated over immigration control. The Dillingham Commission was tasked with providing a scientific foundation for immigration policy-making by sorting out “desirable” immigrants from “undesirable” ones based on a massive amount of statistical and ethnographic data. The importance of the Dillingham Commission, however, lay in the fact that it captured the ways in which immigration was transforming racial boundaries – those within and around the the whiteness.

  • CRAFTING SURVIVAL in JAPANESE AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS Jane E. Dusse
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ARTFUL IDENTIFICATIONS: CRAFTING SURVIVAL IN JAPANESE AMERICAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS Jane E. Dusselier, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor, Seung-kyung Kim Department of Women’s Studies “Artful Identifications” offers three meanings of internment art. First, internees remade locations of imprisonment into livable places of survival. Inside places were remade as internees responded to degraded living conditions by creating furniture with discarded apple crates, cardboard, tree branches and stumps, scrap pieces of wood left behind by government carpenters, and wood lifted from guarded lumber piles. Having addressed the material conditions of their living units, internees turned their attention to aesthetic matters by creating needle crafts, wood carvings, ikebana, paintings, shell art, and kobu. Dramatic changes to outside spaces of “assembly centers” and concentration camps were also critical to altering hostile settings into survivable landscapes My second meaning positions art as a means of making connections, a framework offered with the hope of escaping utopian models of community building which overemphasize the development of common beliefs, ideas, and practices that unify people into easily surveilled groups. “Making Connections” situates the process of individuals identifying with larger collectivities in the details of everyday life, a complicated and layered process that often remains invisible to us. By sewing clothes for each other, creating artificial flowers and lapel pins as gifts, and participating in classes and exhibits, internees addressed their needs for maintaining and developing connections. “Making Connections” advances perhaps the broadest possible understanding of identity formation based on the idea of employing diverse art forms to sustain already developed relationships and creating new attachments in the context of displacement.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopy, recording, or any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the author. Preface and Acknowledgements I undertook the writing of the article, Japanese American Alumnae: Their Lives and Legacy in 2010 when the editors of the Chronicle of the University of California, Carroll Brentano, Ann Lage and Kathryn M. Neal were planning their Issue on Student Life. They contacted me because they wanted to include an article on Japanese American alumnae and they knew that the Japanese American Women/Alumnae of UC Berkeley (JAWAUCB), a California Alumni club, was conducting oral histories of many of our members, in an attempt to piece together our evolution from the Japanese Women’s Student Club (JWSC). As the daughter of one of the founders of the original JWSC, I agreed to research and to write the JWSC/JAWAUCB story. I completed the article in 2010, but the publication of the Chronicle of the University of California’s issue on Student Life has suffered unfortunate delays. Because I wanted to distribute our story while it was still timely, I am printing a limited number of copies of the article in a book form I would like to thank fellow JAWAUCB board members, who provided encouragement, especially during 2010, Mary (Nakata) Tomita, oral history chair, May (Omura) Hirose, historian, and Irene (Suzuki) Tekawa, chair.
