1946213081946. United States Department of the Interior War Relocation Authority. The Relocation Program 1946 documents the federal administration of Japanese American incarceration during World War II and provides direct evidence of the government's policies governing camp closure dispersal and postwar resettlement. Issued immediately after the end of the war the report outlines the institutional framework that shaped the forced removal and subsequent reintegration of Japanese American communities including Issei and Nisei populations. It records the structural barriers faced by formerly incarcerated individuals including discrimination in housing and employment and situates these experiences within broader federal policy. The text supports research into wartime civil liberties Asian American history and the long term social and economic consequences of incarceration under Executive Order 9066.<br /> <br /> The Relocation Program. Washington D.C.: United States Government Printing Office 1946. Government-issued softcover report produced by the War Relocation Authority. The volume includes a detailed "Statement of Facts" section describing the effects of incarceration noting that "mental suffering has been caused by the forced mass evacuation" and documenting "an almost complete destruction of financial foundations built during over a half-century." Additional passages describe forced property loss "at a mere trifle of their cost" and emphasize instability within the camps stating that "residents feel insecure and apprehensive towards the many changes and modifications of WRA policies." The report also records the exclusion of Buddhist clergy and the disruption of community institutions. Interior front cover bears institutional marking from the United States Army Language School at the Presidio of Monterey linking the document to military language training and intelligence contexts during and immediately after the war. Quarto format measuring approximately 8.5 x 11 inches complete in 123 pages.<br /> <br /> Published at the conclusion of the War Relocation Authority's operations this report captures the transition from wartime incarceration to postwar dispersal and reveals how federal agencies framed both the causes and consequences of Japanese American displacement. Its language provides contemporaneous acknowledgment of economic loss and psychological harm while remaining embedded within administrative reporting structures making it a critical source for analyzing how the federal government documented its own policies. The association with the United States Army Language School further situates the document within military and intelligence networks that relied on Japanese language expertise during the war underscoring the paradox of incarceration alongside strategic utilization of Japanese American labor and knowledge. Moderate edge wear to covers with scattered staining and minor corner loss spine reinforced with cloth tape and light age toning to pages; overall condition good. unknown
1944319493Boston: War Relocation Authority 1944. Pamphlet. Near fine. A very scarce example of the War Relocation Authority's efforts to find opportunities for interned Japanese Americans in New England. The pejorative headline suggests that the Boston field office of the WRA may not have fully supported the effort.<br /> <br /> This pamphlet is dated December 31 1944. The Western Defense Command the Army unit that issued the order to remove people of Japanese descent from the Pacific Coast rescinded the order in December 1944 with effect on January 2 1945. This publication is likely connected to the official end of the Japanese internment. As a practical matter before the surrender of Japan it was difficult for internees to obtain permission to return to California Oregon and Washington. With relatively few people being cleared to return home the WRA made an effort to find jobs for interned Japanese in other parts of the United States. <br /> <br /> The WRA operated small offices around the country. The Boston office perhaps ordered to expand its outreach to potential employers and non-profit groups willing to help resettle Japanese and Japanese Americans did the bare minimum with this publication. The content consists entirely of reprinted newspaper articles about Japanese Americans mostly collected from midwestern cities. <br /> <br /> The stories selected include articles about Nisei soldiers and WACs babies and Nisei men and women doing all-American things like decorating Christmas trees and ice skating. Notably absent is any text about what someone amenable to assisting the interned Japanese might do to help.<br /> <br /> 24 leaves printed rectos front side only. Publication no. 48 / C-2015. Not located in OCLC; in fact no WRA publications from Boston are recorded. The date and location are printed in the upper left corner of the front cover.<br /> <br /> SOURCE: The same bookseller from whom I acquired the other Japanese American pamphlets in my list 114. A near fine copy stapled in the upper left corner as issued. Complete with page 24 labeled "final" in the lower margin. With an ink stamp from the Hartford CT WRA office on the front cover and a chop mark 土井 the surname Doi on the verso of the last page. War Relocation Authority unknown

1944206531944. WWIIJapanese American Photo archive of Japanese American families and children confined in United States War Relocation Authority camps during the Second World War. These images taken during the 1940s incarceration of approximately 120000 people of Japanese ancestry following the issuance of Executive Order 9066 capture informal scenes of family life in the camp system that held both immigrants and American-born citizens. More than two-thirds of those imprisoned were United States citizens including thousands of children whose early years were spent inside the camp environment. The photographs show the everyday domestic and social life in incarceration centers recording children parents and small family groups living within the controlled environment established by the War Relocation Authority.<br /> <br /> Archive of seven original photographs including five silver gelatin prints and two photographic negatives dating to the World War II incarceration period. The images depict small groups and individual portraits of Japanese Americans in relocation centers. One group photograph shows six children seated on a wooden fence with rows of barracks-style housing structures visible behind them. Another image depicts two mothers seated on a wooden bench with their toddler-aged sons in front of a wooded camp building; the verso is inscribed identifying the women as "Mrs. Chyoko Okita" and "Mrs. Hayashima." A school-style portrait of a young girl includes her name written on the recto. Two negatives show adult figures outside built environments including one man standing in a suit before a brick building and another image showing a man posed with three women beside an automobile with leafless trees in the background. The photographs range in size from approximately 1.5 × 2.25 inches to 2.5 × 3.5 inches.<br /> <br /> Japanese American incarceration camps held entire family units between 1942 and 1945 producing a social landscape in which children attended school and families attempted to maintain ordinary routines. Approximately 6000 children were born in War Relocation Authority centers during the war years and many young children spent their earliest developmental years entirely within the camp system. Vernacular photographs such as these offer rare glimpses of daily life beyond official government photography preserving personal moments of families and children navigating incarceration under wartime policy. Minor edge wear to several photographs with otherwise clear images and strong tonal contrast; negatives well preserved. Overall very good condition.

1946363182Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1946. First Edition. Trade paperback. Very good. The final report on the relocation internment and incarceration of Japanese immigrants and of Japanese Americans following the Japanese Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. <br /> <br /> While the book's chronology begins in January 1942 the chapter called "The Price of Prejudice" notes that the FBI reported on December 11 that more than 1200 Japanese aliens had already been arrested. This report like many of the post-War publications by the staff of the War Relocation Authority is critical of the decision to intern the Japanese and is sympathetic to the hardships Japanese and Japanese Americans faced. The book also covers the little-remembered activities of the Farm Security Administration and the Federal Reserve Bank which was responsible for internees' property.<br /> <br /> xvi 212 pages.
