Summary

"During a brief thirteen-month period in 1944-45, 5,589 persons, one in every fourteen American citizens of Japanese descent, gave up their citizenship in the land of their birth. Most lived in Tule Lake Segregation Center, one of the ten concentration camps (euphemistically called relocation centers) created by the United States government to house its resident West Coast Japanese population at the beginning of World War II."--Author's preface
