Description
"Fortune Magazine reviews the program of the WRA [War Relocation Authority] and the problems created by the evacuation from the West Coast of 110,000 people of Japanese descent." Article provides a contemporary description of the panic and ensuing incarceration of Japanese including the suggestions of "coddling," politics, "registration and segregation," "relocation," "military necessity," and "protective custody," and discusses what future generations may think of the incarceration and U.S. policies. The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II.
