Shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order calling for the relocation of over 100,000 Japanese Americans to internment camps throughout the United States. The internment uprooted thousands of families and created deep divides between American-born Japanese and older immigrants. The legacy of this event remains at the center of many human rights abuse discussions today. This edition includes a timeline of events, sources for further research, engaging photographs, and a detailed subject index. This book also includes the discussion of topics such as prejudice in America, what life was like for those interned, and the lasting legacy and consequences of forced relocation.
