        <description><![CDATA[Part of the reason why the loyalty oath was so controversial was because it almost seemed like an insult added to injury.  Once the war had turned against the Japanese, Americans of Japanese descent were looked at as subversive  and enemies of the state.  The entire notion of internment was predicated upon the government's perception that all Japanese citizens need to be rounded up and placed in one area.  The loyalty oath was a manner by...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The loyalty oath that the US government asked of the Japanese-American internees was controversial for a number of reasons.
In general, it was controversial because it required the Japanese-Americans to swear loyalty to a government that had not treated them as it should have treated its citizens.  It also put Japanese-Americans in a position of either (eventually) being sent back to Japan or, in essence, volunteering to go to war.
For the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The lack of privacy was one of the most dehumanizing aspects of the internment camps where Japanese Americans were detained during WWII. These camps were surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers in case anyone tried to escape. Most camps were "constructed" out of whatever was available-in some cases, whatever was already there. At one camp, on the site of a former racetrack, the families lived in horse stalls. At other centers large families...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[After the loyalty oath crisis, the lives of Jeanne's family and the other residents of Manzanar "took on a pattern that would hold for the duration of the war".  Despite all the pain it caused, the loyalty oath had the positive effect of speeding up the relocation program, and as individuals and families began to leave the camp for employment away from the coastal areas, the congestion in the barracks eased.  Mama was able to secure four...]]></description>

Papa has been prevented from becoming a United States citizen because...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Papa was a "dark, bitter, brooding presence" in the cubicle that was home to the Wakatsukis in Manzanar.  Upon his return from North Dakota, where he had been forced to work as an interpreter helping the Justice Department interview other Isseis, Papa settled into the small space allotted the family and "didn't go outside for months".  He refused even to join the others at the mess hall for meals, having his wife bring his food to him. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Papa's name in the book Farewell to Manzanar was Ko Wakatsuki (Chapter 6).  In those days, Japanese men and women who had made their homes in America often took an American first name as well, so as to be able to assimilate more easily.  The American name Papa apparently took was George - his first grandson was named George in his honor (Chapter 6).  Among his family and in the Japanese American community, however, he was called by his...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The top monthly wage for an internee at Manzanar was nineteen dollars a month.  Pay for unskilled labor started at eight dollars a month.
Soon after the internees arrived at Manzanar, a call went out "for people with any kind of skill to offer their services".  Although work was entirely voluntary, thousands responded, wanting "to do their part" in a spirit of community and even patriotism.  In Jeanne's family, her brother Woody signed on...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[After returning from North Dakota, Jeanne's Father, Ko Wakatsuki, was angry and bitter,

"not the same man...something terrible had happened to him in North Dakota...He had aged ten years.  He looked over sixty, gaunt, wilted as his shirt, underweight, leaning on (a) cane and favoring his right leg".

He was a shadow of the man he used to be, and could find no place in the upside-down world with which he was faced (Chapter 5).
