Through the class, students will develop an understanding of the incarceration process, during which 110,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes in West Coast cities in the spring and summer of 1942. We will examine the anti-Asian sentiment that led to this extreme violation of civil rights, as well as life in the camps, and the less-studied resettlement process of internees. We will examine various studies of incarceration, including first-person accounts, historical texts, original documents, and photographs that capture this period, as well as interview men and women who were unjustly imprisoned during the war. Our overall goal will be to study ways that others have remembered the incarceration of Japanese Americans through literature, art, craft, design, and history as well as to help students to find their own way to memorialize and reckon with this problematic period of American history.
