Race, Rights, and Reparation: Law of the Japanese American Internment (Aspen Elective Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A course book exploring the continuing legal, ethical, and social implications of the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II. It presents cases, original documents, and commentary and questions that encourage critical inquiry in to issues such as whether the Supreme Court's wartime opinions hold internal inconsistencies, and to what extent they were influenced by politics. All Americans have a stake in understanding how internment happened, write the authors (teachers at prominent law schools at five US universities). The legal machinery leading up to internment, they write, reflects "both the best and the most dangerous aspects of the American legal process for all Americans the promise of equality and the precariousness of liberty in times of national stress."
