About This Item
McWilliams, Carey. Pamphlet: What About Our Japanese-Americans? New York, First Edition. 1944. Blue wrappers. Public Affairs Committee. 31 pages. Includes some small black and white illustrations of the Japanese-American plight during the war with captions underneath. Pamphlet was written two years after the U.S. began putting Japanese people in camps. American journalist Carey McWilliams collaborated with the Institute of Pacific Relations, one of the first institutions that promoted educational material about people of the Pacific regions. This organization helped the United States better understand and cooperate with Pacific nationals during an increasingly rocky geopolitical climate. Here, McWilliams argues that the forced internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II was not only unjust but unconstitutional. He states that the mass evacuation and internment were based on racial prejudice and negative stereotypes rather than evidence of any actual threat to national security. Pamphlet has very minor wear to edges. Overall very good condition.
