References 263 Listing of War Relocation Final Reports 270 . ., '. .; -\ , ~ FOREWORD Description of the postwar adjustment of the evacuated Japanese Americans following their return to the main stre~ of life in American communities can best be stated in te~ of motion. The evacuation, which was started in the early spring of 1942 at the order of the Western Defense Commandof the United States Army did more than take 110,000 people from their homes in an area bordering the Pacific Coast into ten relocation centers constructed in remote areas be~;een the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Mississippi River. In addition to physical uprooting, it shattered the social 8.nd economic patterns which had given a measure of sta bi li ty to the prewar life of Japanese Ameri- cans. The sum of their past experience, as well as the new conditions faced in relocation and resettlement has been important in the postwar adjustment of these people. Intangible factors going back to the trans- planted and already disintegrating old world social organization of the west coast Japanese communities, and the changed character of public opinion have had an effect on that adjustment. While it is important to note that the character of the prewar Little Tokyo communities had been changing tovfard the level of the wider community, the process ~las slow. With the evacuation came the complete uprooting of the Lit;~le TokyoS and the destruction of many cultural practices which had stabilized the immigrant co1mnunities. Attitudes of the wider community before the war were mixed, with a tendency to accept kno,"1nindividuals rot to reject the group. As a group, the west coast Japanese Americans had not been per- mi tted to become sufficiently a part of the total community to be allowed to go through the crisis of attack by Japan as Americans. The evacuation produced a profound psychological shock which has carried over in varying extent to the postwar adjustment period. Today, the most notable characteristic of the evacuated Japanese Americans is a feeling of unsettledness, of having unans,"lered questions concerning location, economic activity and social adjustment. Co~ pletion of the process of resettlement will require another five to ten years. The human effects of the evacuation will not be fully evi- dent short of that time. In the meantime, there is exploration of those phases of sentiment toward the group which affect the economic and social life of Japanese Americans in America, and individual and some group deci sions are being 1 made concerning the kind of economic and social arrangements which will provide satisfactory adjustment. During the period of the last 18 months, which followed the completion of relocation after the centers were closed, the process of settlement has had its real beginning. This report has resulted from a study of adjustments during this period. studY was undertaken upon the request of the Director of the War Relocation Authority with the express approval of the Congress, to: "Analyze the effects of the evacuation from the west coast, and to complete the study of the relocation aspects, such as the new distribution of the people, and adjustment problems that re- located people continue to face in order to provide an adequate history of the effects of the evacuation upon the evacuated people and the country."* This study was carried out by the War Agency Liquidation Unit of the United States Department of the Interior. The history of the evacuation, the life of the people in the centers and of the early relocation period has been documented in the final reports of the War Relocation Authority.** Except for a short description of the relocation process and such brief historical references as may be necessary to the understanding of present adjust- ment, the events of 1942 - 1945 will not be covered in this report. Notes on study method~. When study was begun in July of 1946, the pattern of resettlement had crystalized sufficiently to provide a basis of selection of localities to be studied. Chicago had became a center of midwestern relocation, Denver was a community in which both prewar and evacuee Japanese Americans were in residence, Los Angeles and Seattle were the largest prewar and postwar communities in the evacuated area. Accordingly these were chosen as the points of intensive study, with supplementary study in the Santa Clara Valley, the Snake River Valley, and Salt Lake City. Major study planned for the spring of 1947 in the *Page 1294, Interior Department Appropriation Bill for 1947, Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Approp~i~~o~, United State~ Senate. **The United States Government, having called upon the Japanese American people to move from their west coast homes, assumed a responsibility for helping them to become reestablished. To carry out this responsibility, a civilian agency, the War Relocation Authority was created by executive order on March 18, 1942. A complete list of the WRAfinal reports will be found on the final page of this study. 2 rural areas of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys had to be aban- doned because of pressure of time and lack of funds. In addition, some material was gathered through secondary sources such as the vernacular press, and through short visits by staff members to other cities of the West Coast States, the Midwest, and the East. With the exception of Seattle, the program of study was one of in- tensive interviewing of representative Japanese Americans within these COnLTIJlnities, with findings being compiled from recorded interviews and publi shed material to form a connected account depicting the range of adjustrnent. Vlhile information collected ~ this method does not permit statistical comparisons, representative data could be secured over a much wider area than otherwise would have been possible under time and budgetary limitations. Ma'berial in the words of the people has been used liberally, not only for illustration, but to carry the narrative forward. In Seattle, the study was fortunate in securing the resul'ts of' a survey conduc-bed independent:;ly by S. Frank Miyamoto and Robert iff. 0' Brien, members of the faculty of the University of ~Vashington. In terms of broad adjustment problems, the statis'l:;ically supported findings of this survey, which were based on a random s~ple of the total Japanese Ameri- can population of Seattle, are very si~lar to those secured through in- terviews in other areas, a fact Which gives added assurance to the val- idity of material secured through the basic method of this study.* In reporting findings, the selection of uniform terminology descrip- tive of the group and its various parts, was the occasior~ 'of some diffi- culty. This was particularly the case since much direct quota-cion has been used, and there was different usage as between various respondents. In order to provide consistency, it was arbitrarily determined to use the terms "Japanese" and "Japanese Americans" interchangeably. When the im- migrant generation is referred to specifically, the word "Issei" is usod.

Among these Japanese American transnational migrants, 10,000-20,000 returned to the United States before the outbreak of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and became known as Kibei (“return to America”). Tracing the transnational movements of these second-generation U.S.-born Japanese Americans complicates the existing U.S.-centered paradigm of immigration and ethnic history.

    The Trajectory of Japanese American Neighborhoods REPORT #1 SPRING 2015 SAWTELLE JAPANTOWN The Trajectory of Japanese American Neighborhoods AUTHORS JENNY HUANG PROJECT COORDINATORS JOANN KWEON PAUL M. ONG JOYCE PARK C. AUJEAN LEE TONY ZHANG UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES 1 PREFACE These reports represent Asian American Studies’ commitment to engaged scholarship through teaching and community-oriented research that are mutually beneficial. Community partners are instrumental in identifying research needs, participating in and facilitating data collection, as- sisting in analyzing information, and disseminating findings to inform policy debates and pro- gram development. For community members, we hope that they will gain insights from student research. At the same time, students gain real-world understanding of Asian American issues. The class that sponsored a community project serves as a bridge for students’ academic training and their life after graduation. We hope that this project enables students to acquire and apply research skills and engage in broader social justice movements. This course, “Capstone Community-based Research: Asian American Enclaves and Community Institutions,” connected students to Sawtelle Japantown Association (SJA). The class was offered through UCLA’s Asian American Studies Department. This year’s project examines the factors that contribute to the vitality of ethnic enclaves and community institutions to then provide rec- ommendations to SJA. SJA has been working since 2014 to preserve the cultural and historic as- pects of the Sawtelle area. They are working to mobilize and strengthen community and cultural organizations so that its members have an active, strong, and effective voice in planning their neighborhood’s future. This project emerged from a joint planning effort that started during the summer of 2014.

  • Transformation of Japanese American Community Through the Early Redevelopment Projects
    Miya Suga(p237) 6/2 04.9.6 3:24 PM ページ 237 The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 15 (2004) Little Tokyo Reconsidered: Transformation of Japanese American Community through the Early Redevelopment Projects Miya SHICHINOHE SUGA* INTRODUCTION In the early 1960s, Little Tokyo, one of the oldest Japanese American communities in the mainland U.S., showed serious signs of decay. Many of the buildings in Little Tokyo were built at the turn of the century and devastated during the Second World War. In 1969, 32.6 percent of the total 138 buildings were categorized as “deficient/rehabilitation ques- tionable” and 43.5 percent as “structurally substandard.”1 Among 600 to 622 individuals and 41 families living there in 1969, those who were 62 or older composed more than 30 percent of the total population.2 Faced with the expansion of the City Hall nearby, this area was about to lose its function as a viable “ethnic community.” At this point, the people of Little Tokyo started to advocate its redevelopment and the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA) decided to launch the Little Tokyo Redevelopment project in 1970.3 Thus far, transformation of Japanese American ethnicity in the domes- tic context has attracted wide scholarly attention. On the resilience of the Japanese American “ethnic community,” Fugita and O’Brien stress the significance of “a formal organizational base—a critical factor in the preservation of ethnic community life as individuals have moved from Copyright © 2004 Miya Shichinohe Suga.
