Workshop on WW2 Internment – Mon Nov 5
by admin - November 3rd, 2012
Monday’s class has light reading but will be a hands-on workshop with some sources and materials for understanding the internment of Americans of Japanese descent during World War II. That internment included both born-citizens and immigrants who were (as we have discussed) legally unnaturalizable. Please read the brief essay by David Goldstein-Shirley, and bring your laptops to class to use in group work.

There will be several soapboxes also, and of course keep an eye on the election news!
