No more "Shikata ga nai."

Nearly seventy years ago, 10,000 Japanse Americans were forcibly relocated to Heart Mountain, just outside Cody, Wyoming; they were part of a larger group of more than 120,000 men, women, and children incarcerated in War Relocation Authority (WRA) camps due solely to their ancestry. This past weekend, about 100 survivors of the camp -- led by the delightfully named Bacon Sakatini -- returned to this remote corner of Wyoming to celebrate the grand opening of the Heart Mountain Interpretive Learning Center.
Of the ten WRA camps, Heart Mountain had the only organized resisters movement, which was started in 1944 by seven men who formed the Fair Play Committee to protest the drafting of Japanse American men while their families remained imprisoned -- leading to the largest draft resistance trial in U.S. history.

Considering recent infringements and out right violations of American citizen rights via the war on terror it is getting easy to imagine how this happens.

I went to high school with a guy whose parents met in the camps, fell in love and after the war ended, got married and didn't go back to their original cities. They were surprisingly upbeat about the whole thing, which is odd, I know.

In the interest of "balanced reporting" many of those incarcerated men chose to join the service voluntarily as an expression of the loyalty to the US.
Members of my wife's family were removed from their homes and businesses in Fresno and spent their time in the camps at Thule Lake and Manzanar. Not one of them has expressed a bitter thought about that time. All of them humble to the bone.
Several of them took their reparation payout to travel to Japan. Some for the first time ever.
Knowing and speaking to them (many have left us now) about this has been my distinct pleasure.

The reason many Japanese-Americans took things in stride is that they understood and even sympathized with the American government, realizing that they would have done the same thing if their positions were reversed since they were coming from an intensely xenophobic cultural background with a feeling of moral superiority.

One of the things that's not commonly talked about is that immediately after the war detainees were "encouraged" to return to Japan, regardless of whether or not they spoke Japanese or had any living family connections in that country.
There's one village in Wakayama (south Osaka) called Amerika-mura (Japanese only, sorry where many of these people end up.
I myself met one of these folks. On a visit to Takeshima Island in the middle of Lake Biwako I was wandering around admiring the temple when an older docent in his mid-70s started speaking to me in standard North American English.
He was from Vancouver, and they shipped him back to Japan after the war.

The Manzanar site is along US-395, the highway that takes you from Los Angeles to Mammoth Lakes (where Mammoth Mountain is, near Yosemite.) For years now it's purportedly been under renovation to turn into a museum, but very little appears to have been done—a guard tower rebuilt, a barracks, a small visitors center. There should be more—it's not an adequate testimony or memorial of what happened there.

That not all who were incarcerated are bitter about the experience does not at all lessen what a shameful, immoral thing it was our government did by confiscating their property and locking them up.

Manzanar. Ever hear the expression, "the middle of nowhere?" Manzanar is the mathematical center of nowhere, even today. I can't imagine it in the 40's. It would be like having a concentration camp on the Moon.

It bugs me that this is always glossed over when people are getting nostalgic about FDR, who authorized the internment with executive order 9066. J. Edgar Hoover, of all people, opposed it, but the order granting regional military commanders the power to exclude people en masse from strategically important areas was not repealed until Gerald Ford became president.

They weren't locked up because they were foreign nationals. They were citizens. They were locked up because of their ethnic identity. To deny this seems astonishing to me.

The photos in the Atlantic article linked by arveale and the associated essay remind of nothing so much as what was happening to Jews in Hungary before the Nazi takeover. You had the same restrictions on particular ethnic groups, the same discussions about which ones were "really" citizens; and the same comforting news stories about how this was really best for everyone.

Please back it up a bit, read what he said. Nobody is excusing the camps, saying they were good, any of that. Explaining is not justifying.
Here is why the analogy breaks down: Japan was (and to a great extent still is) a place where citizenship and ethnicity are synonymous, so there is no way a white Westerner would ever become a Japanese citizen, at least in that time period. Look at the "Koreans" of Japan.
I wonder what was the fate of any long term white expats in Japan when hostilities broke out?

It is amusing when Renoroc merely posts a historical fact that was said by some of the Americans who were incarcerated and you accuse him of being inflammatory. However you throw a hissy fit and start throwing out baseless insults, and yet you don''t see yourself as being inflammatory.
anyway you are missing the point that everyone else seems to get and obviously you don't understand the word 'reversed'.
The point that Renoroc was making is that the Americans of Japanese descent knew that if the roles were reversed, in other words if America was Japan and Japan was America, any westerners who had became Japanese citizens, even westerners who were 2nd generation citizens they too might have been placed into concentration camps. They recognized their own racism. They acknowledged their own isolationist attitudes. "Their" meaning Japan as a whole at the time and not the individuals
posted by 2manyusernames at 5:16 AM on August 26, 2011
This whole debate about Americans of Japanese descent knowing that if the roles were reversed, while sounding good, feels a bit like nonsensical speculation. As it stands in this thread, it's something put out there without the evidence of statements by those interned that indicates they understood that Japan would've done just the same thing and that's why they "took things in stride". In fact, the Fair Play Committee article mentions, "shikata ga nai", a phrase meaning that it cannot be helped, as reason for the accepting Japanese American attitude towards interment.
Looks like some 80,000 of people of Japanese descent in the US at the time were nisei and sansei. The first and second generation born in the US. How could they know that they came from a so called "intensely xenophobic cultural background with a feeling of moral superiority" having been born and raised in America as American citizens? Maybe you could make an argument that the adults something from their immigrant parents, but what about the children in the internment camps?
How do you fight back against being taken from your home? Wouldn't fighting back just make your interment feel justified in the eyes of your captors? Even that's just more speculation. I going to read through these links. Until I know more, I'd say that the whole coming from a xenophobic culture explanation is meant to try to dull the bite of our national responsibility for the act.

Well, I have to say, my grandmother on my mother's side seems a little bitter when she talks about the two asthmatic children she lost in the dusty Minidoka camps. And my grandfather never voted for a Democrat again after the internment, because FDR signed the order that put him into the camps.
And my grandfather on my father's side was one of the "no-no" boys sent to Tule Lake because he feared that if he denounced his citizenship in Japan he would essentially become a man without a country.

Uh, yes they were, nearly 2,000 of them that were considered to pose the "greatest threat" to U.S. security. Of course, that was a small fraction of the 150,000+ people of Japanese ancestry who were living in Hawaii at the time... but that 150,000 represented about a third of the population of the islands, which means that had the U.S. tried to incarcerate all of them, the local economy would have likely collapsed.

I am by no means an expert in JA internment but I spent the last three years traveling to internment camp sites with my JA boyfriend assisting him with his MFA thesis work of photographing these sites. I have visited pretty much every site that housed internees. I have also had many a discussion with my boyfriend's father who wrote his dissertation on internment. I think many experts would agree that the reason so many people complied with the order is not because they understood or sympathized but rather because of Japanese cultural norms like "shikata ga na" or Gaman. These norms can also be seen in the older generations' unwillingness to talk about the experience or their anger. My boyfriend's father (who is in his mid-60's, grew up in Hawaii) did not learn about internment until he was in college and he was enraged that this event was not something his elders spoke about and that is wasn't a taught part of his history. I am so glad that people are preserving the internment sites and talking about this painful part of our past because we need the reminders of our mistakes as a country. There is always the threat that we could repeat ourselves in this post-9/11 security obsessed period.

We were on a birding trip some years back up at Tule Lake. The first thing our local guide said to us (there were about 20 of us on this trip) was that we shouldn't ask locals about the internment camp - it was still a very sensitive subject. There were also German POWs in the area during the war - not American citizens of German descent, but captured German soldiers. The enlisted men were mostly housed in barracks and worked on local farms. The officers were mostly housed with local families, and apparently had pretty free movement.

A few (15?) years ago I visited Manzanar. What I found interesting was how hard it was to find -- I blinked and missed the tiny sign pointing to the dirt road off US-395. Luckily I had a 1:24,000 topo map of the area so I knew I'd missed it, so I turned around. (This was before GPS.) The camp itself was run down and deserted, with signs promising renovation. This country has still not come to terms with the internment, I remember thinking.
Also interesting was the huge abandoned airbase across 395 from the camp -- only the runways and ramp were still around, no buildings. Totally overgrown but the concrete was in excellent shape -- some day I want to fly there and land on that runway.

Story I head was that the US had broken the Japanese purple code and were aware of Japanese spies in the US and in order to get the spies without revealing how they knew they were spies, they rounded up all the usual suspects.
I have no footnote off hand, but I'm sure those interested could find one.

They were certainly aware of German and Italian spies in the U.S. and yet they managed to not incarcerate every single American citizen of Italian or German descent (just some of them!).
