Description
Dillon S. Myer, Director of the War Relocation Authority, details the accomplishments of the operation: the incarceration camps, the large-scale registration of incarcerees, the segregation process at the Tule Lake camp, and the resettlement of Japanese people in other parts of the country. The collection contains material used by Carey McWilliams in writing the book, Prejudice: Japanese Americans, symbol of racial intolerance (Little, Brown, 1944). It includes U.S. War Relocation Authority records, confidential reports, bibliographies, clippings and compilations of articles, legal papers, correspondence between McWilliams and Japanese American evacuees, relocation camp newspapers and other publications, two copies of his book, and five copies of the 1994 videocassette (40 min.), Something Strong Within.
