AMERICA'S CONCENTRATION CAMPS DURING WORLD WAR II. Social Science and the Japanese American Internment. By Francis McCollum Feeley (University of Grenoble, France)

|
A seminal work highly recommended for graduate students in political science, history, or American Studies, who are interested in the on-going debate over Multiculturalism in the United States and, by implication, throughout the modern world. Professor Feeleys research makes a serious contribution to our understanding of the historic problems faced by Japanese Americans at the time of the Second World War and concludes, persuasively, that neo-positivist criticisms of the multi-cultural movement in America today have missed the point: that social solutions to such problems require a dialectics of liberation, involving community empowerment and voluntary multi-cultural associations linked directly to the political economy and to U.S. foreign affairs.
