Includes; • Wartime Exile: The Exclusion of the Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Original wrappers. 167pp. Small faint library stamp on front wrapper. No other library markings. • The Relocation Program. 106pp.+1 pg. Rebound in library buckram. Lacking front wrapper. Marginal tear to last leaf. • Wartime Handling of Evacuee Property. 113pp. Rebound in library buckram. Lacking front wrapper. After the World War II internment of West coast Japanese-Americans ended in 1945, the War Relocation Authority (WRA) which had sympathetically administered the ten internment camps, issued a series of publications, generally attempting to put a benign face on the shameful incarceration of loyal Americans. The first imprint offered here is a general survey of the pre-war Japanese-American community and a chronology of the Internment, which it ascribed to the political “triumph” of California “racists”. The second is an account of the work of the WRA, and the third a specialized study of what became of the property of “evacuees” in the camps, frankly admitting that they suffered significant “property loss and damage.” Original editions of these imprints are becoming increasingly scarce.
