The protagonist Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston tells her story about how Japanese Americans lost their freedoms for the sake of national security, and she and her family were forced to live in an internment camp in Manzanar, California. Integration back into American society was a struggle of identity and acceptance for Jeanne since no one wanted to be identified as the “other.“一本书计划”与萨克州立大学的格林合作 & Gold Speakers Series and the Sac State Library’s Japanese Archival Collection, 邀请大家讨论种族主义的影响, exclusion, and belonging.

Dr. 山下文迪在Manzanar, Racism, Exclusion, Incarceration, 最后是复原力, and Belonging.

2023年11月14日上午10:30 -下午1:00

The One Book Program in partnership with Inclusive Excellence hosted the Hornet Family to listen and talk story with Dr. 山下文迪在Manzanar, racism, exclusion, incarceration, 最后是复原力, and belonging.

This year’s One Book was Farewell to Manzanar 作者Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston (1972). It is a story about how Japanese Americans lost their freedoms for the sake of national security, and how a young girl and her family were uprooted and forced to live in an internment camp in Manzanar, California. This riveting memoir shared how Japanese Americans faced imprisonment or rather incarceration during World War II.

In 1942, the U.S. government led the general population to believe that incarcerating Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans was a “military necessity.” Utilizing euphemisms such as “relocation” and “evacuees” to justify racial profiling, confinement, and violence. Farewell to Manzanar has shown us, Japanese and Japanese Americans suffered great losses when they were forcibly removed from their homes to live behind barbed wire. For many years after, 日裔美国人对自己的经历保持沉默, lacking a language to describe what happened to them and unable to find an audience to listen.

Dr. 山下的演讲主要围绕以下主题:国家vs. communal/ethnic memory, loyalty/disloyalty, incarceration, euphemisms, and Ethnic Studies. She also featured models of resilience and belonging— Japanese American organizations that remember their history to push for a more just and equitable future for all Americans despite having experienced racism and exclusion in America. 出席会议的一些组织是Manzanar委员会, 日裔美国公民联盟弗洛林分会, and Tsuru for Solidarity.

感谢这200名学生, faculty, staff, and community who attended on Nov 14th in the University Ballroom from 10:30am-1pm with Dr. Wendi Yamashita. The event was a success!
