"The Displaced Japanese-Americans"

This booklet, distributed by the American Council On Public Affairs, contains an article originally published in Fortune magazine in 1944. It details the social, political, and economic factors leading to the internment of Japanese Americans, including long-standing racism and wartime hysteria, and describes the harsh living conditions in relocation centers. The text also critiques the government’s policies, highlighting their constitutional implications and the long-term impact on the interned population, while emphasizing the resilience and loyalty demonstrated by many Japanese Americans despite their unjust treatment.
