Description
An essay discussing Japanese immigration to the U.S. and experiences with the Japanese American expulsion and incarceration. Includes a bibliographical essay on "the wartime evacuation of Japanese from the west coast areas" by Howard H. Sugimoto. 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.
