NEW
Citizen Internees
A Second Look at Race and Citizenship in
Japanese American Internment Camps
LINDA L. IVEY AND KEVIN W. KAATZ
In the 1940s, Japanese and Japanese American internees of Redwood City, CA, had a
dedicated ally: J. Elmer Morrish, a banker who kept their businesses alive, made sure their
taxes were paid, and safeguarded their properties until after the end of World War II and
the internees were finally released. What were Morrish’s motivations for his tireless efforts
to help the internees? How did the unjustly incarcerated deal with the loss of freedom
in the camps, and how did they envision their future? And how did the internees both
cooperate with the U.S. government and attempt to resist victimization?
FEATURES
• Enables readers to see—through primary documents comprising letters written by the
internees and banker J. Elmer Moorish in Redwood City, CA—how Japanese-American
citizens who were interned during World War II handled their financial affairs
• Analyzes the interactions between Japanese Americans and Anglo-Americans during a
period of widespread xenophobia and racial tension in the United States
• Helps readers to better understand the important issues of citizenship and race in
America during and just after World War II

The debate between W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington on how to further social
and economic progress for African Americans lasted 20 years, from 1895 to Washington’s
death in 1915. Their ongoing conversation evolved over time, becoming fiercer and more
personal as the years progressed. But despite its complexities and steadily accumulating
bitterness, it was still, at its heart, a conversation—an impassioned contest at the turn of
the century to capture the souls of black folk.
FEATURES
• Offers a fresh exploration of the fascinating conversations and controversies between
two of the most important African American leaders in history
• Provides an in-depth exploration of these two important leaders’ perspectives and
views on America’s response to Jim Crow and civil rights that leads to significant new
conclusions about historical information
• Presents the words of DuBois, Washington, and their allies as a conversation that
enables readers to better understand the big-picture story of these two scholars
