Of the Japanese that were interned, 62 percent were Nisei (American born, second generation) or Sansei (third-generation Japanese) the rest of them were Issai Japanese immigrants. Americans of

Throughout American history there has always been problems with civil rights because the white male has always been viewed as being superior. Once Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese during World War 2 the United States was uneasy whether the loyalty of the Japanese living in the states would remain with the United States, or with Japan. Both Japanese natives and Japanese-Americans were placed in concentration camps during this time period. About a decade and a half later, African Americans also

loyalty made it possible for Attila to gain power. Attila’s loyalty to the Huns was easily understood. He was one of them. He was born a Hun and was able to trace his lineage back some thirty odd generations. Dan Inouye could not do the same. He was a Nisei, a second generation Japanese American. Inouye’s lineage did not have any bearing on his loyalty to the United States of America or his devotion to protecting her and her

immigrants, also known as Issei, were aliens ineligible for U.S. citizenship. Had these laws not been in place, it is reasonable to assume that nearly all of the Issei would have sought U.S. citizenship. However, their children, the second generation, or Nisei, were U.S. citizens by birth.

In the autobiographical excerpt from "Nisei Daughter" by Monica Sone called "Camp Harmony" and the novel Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, both of the main characters and their families are relocated to a Japanese internment camp in the western United States after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They experience extreme hardships while being interned at the camps due to their race, however, although faced with such austerity, the Japanese-American families are able to overcome it through

"caged" and called the internment experience an "unnatural life, devoid of freedom" (69). His strong distaste to what his "own government" did to him stimulated him to write a petition to the government in which he discusses the bitter resentment all Nisei had towards the government. However, Fukuda's story contradicts itself at the end when he claims and titles the section, "I love the United States" (74). His crisis is evident when he makes the contradictory statement, "I am proud to be an American

January 22, 1944 the sun is shining, and there is quite wind blowing across the beach of Anzio. In the next two days this beach will be covered in upwards of 30,000 allied troops and will see some of the bloodiest fighting of the war in the next four months. Anzio was originally supposed to be a distraction that Sir Alexander could use to breach the Gustav line. However, after a failure to immediately push towards Rome the allies would be trapped in trench warfare and would be forced to breakout

only was this relocation based on false premises and shaky evidence, but it also violated the rights of Japanese-Americans through processes of institutional racism that were imposed following the events of Pearl Harbor. Targeting mostly Issei and Nisei citizens, first and second generation Japanese-Americans respectively,2 the policy of internment disrupted the lives of families, resulting in a loss of personal property, emotional distress,

Extra Credit Assignment: Japanese American Museum On my visit to the Japanese American Museum I learned plenty of History from a culture that I would have never pictured myself going into depth with. I learned of the roots of the Japanese, religion, and injustices that they faced throughout decades. Within all this I also learned what was the communities way of communication. To begin with, the growing root for Japanese American communities was from 1908-1924. In Hawaii plantation owners thought
