Description
Preface states that "the objective of this affidavit is to confute the distortions and false accusations made against me in two books on the Japanese American Internment during World War II, and to examine the perversion of what should have been scholarly and impartial research." The two books discussed are Doing Fieldwork: Warnings and Advice (Rosalie H. Wax, 1986) and The Spoilage (Dorothy Swaine Thomas and Richard S. Nishimoto, with contributions by Rosalie Hankey), with a focus on Hankey (later Wax) and her work as a researcher for the Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study sponsored by University of California. On front cover, author is listed as Violet Kazue de Cristoforo (formerly Kazue Matsuda). Related to csufr_vkdc_0011, Undoing Fieldwork: Rosalie Hankey Wax's Tule Lake Fieldwork Analyzed by her Informant.
Personal experiences of a Japanese-American incarceree during World War II, and her poetry published about her experiences later in life.
