    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.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

Nichols, Chair, Dept. of Romance Languages & Literatures, and Amanda Anderson, Chair, Dept. of English 1 2 Dear NeMLA Friends — Thank you for welcoming me as Executive Director of the Northeast Modern Language Association with the panels and presentations that you have created and are presenting this weekend. This is the largest and most diverse convention that NeMLA has presented in years. It has been an amazing challenge and a pleasure to put this together for you. NeMLA is deeply committed to promoting teaching and scholarship in the modern languages. This year has seen a particular increase in panels in Italian, Spanish, German and French. The Board created new Board positions in Comparative Literatures and Popular Culture to support the growing interest in interdisciplinary work and in other foreign languages. Your strong response to NeMLA elections this year helps assure that the Board will continue to be responsive and proactive to meeting the needs of our members. NeMLA has also worked this year to improve our service to our members. We were able to decrease our fees by 8% and to reduce our media charges from $40 to $10. My predecessor Josephine McQuail established research fellowships with the Newberry Library, in addition to our Summer fellowships and American Antiquarian Society. In addition to increasing the number of travel grants awarded to graduate students, we also created the Graduate Student Assistantship program, to provide support and administrative opportunities. Our new webmasters Vincent Guihan and Andrew Schopp have streamlined and improved our website to improve communication.

Merrow Interviews conducted by Ann Lage in 1992 and 1993 Copyright c 1997 by The Regents of the University of California and the Sierra Club Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California, the Sierra Club, and Michael Fischer dated January 12, 1995. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
