This work provides an historical and cultural background for the prewar Japanese in California and discusses how all 100,000 of them - children, women, and men - lost their civil rights because it was feared they might be spies or show affinity for a dreaded Japanese occupation. Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, they were uprooted from their homes and sent under military guard to various camps in inland America. Zamorano Select 74.
