Camp Amache: The Story of American Tragedy. Dir. Don Dexter. Wolf River Productions, 2006. DVD. The film “Camp Amache: The Story of American Tragedy”, Is a comprehensive look at how the internment camps of WWII effected the individuals in the camps. It also looks at how the families of those interned were affected. The director, Don Dexter, accomplishes this through interviews with those who experienced this tragedy first hand and also through those who felt the aftermath of them. By providing these first hand accounts, Dexter’s argument is supported through the personal stories. This is important to my research because I will be examining how attitudes change during wartime. I think that it is important to examine how it is easy to look at things on paper and agree with the hard choices people had to make but it becomes much more difficult to justify these decisions when you look at the real people involved and impacted.
ReplyDeleteExec. Order No. 9066, 3 C.F.R. (1942). Print. I will be looking at President Roosevelt’s executive order allowing the Japanese Internment. As discussed in class, he does not ever directly say “there will be internment of the Japanese” which is a conscious rhetorical decision on his part. This is important to my research because it is a perfect example of how in wartime, people were able to justify this action because it seemed to be for the greater good of everyone.
Harvey, Robert. Amache: the Story of Japanese Internment in Colorado during World War II. Dallas, Tex.: Taylor Trade Pub., 2003. Print. This is a book that looks at the internment from the eyes of those who were interned. It has many different first hand accounts of the time leading up to the internment, the time of internment, and the time after the internment. It focuses in on the hostility that lead to the internment and what allowed an entire nation to accept this.
Newmiller, William. Rev. of Amache: The Story of Japanese Internment in Colorado During World War II. War, Literature & the Arts: An International Journal of the Humanities. Academic Search Complete. Web. 16 Mar. 2010. This is a review of the book “Amache, story of Japanese internment.” It was written by a soldier which gives interesting perspective because as a soldier, he is very committed to the safety of the American public.
Song, Sora. "The Japanese Camps: Making the 9/11 Link." 163.7 (2004). Academic Search Complete. Web. 22 Apr. 2010. This article looks at the willingness of an entire nation to condemn a group of people when there is instability. It draws a parallel between the Japanese internment and the mistreatment after the Muslim community following September 11.
