About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1944. First Edition, Stated. Cloth. Very good/good. 337p. Additional titles by McWilliams written in pencil on verso of title page, name and date on front endpaper and ink stamp on back endpaper, price clipped and rubbed jacket has holes along flap folds with scrapes and chips to edges and back. Noted California historian Kevin Starr, in his book Embattled Dreams, called McWilliams "the single finest non-fiction writer on California - ever" and "California's most astute political observer." McWilliams here shows how the tension between Americans and Japanese immigrants and their descendants had been simmering since the turn of the 20th century, decades before President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942, which gave the U.S. military authority to remove those of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast to internment camps. One of the first accounts to review the social, economic, and psychological aspects of the internment, McWilliams' book was cited by Justice Frank Murphy in his dissenting opinion in the 1944 Supreme Court case of Korematsu v. United States, which six to three upheld the constitutionality of the evacuation. (8-1/4"x5-5/8")
