Resistance at Tule Lake

What is a thesis?

• Japanese Americans resisted

Issei and Nissei

• Issei had to deal with a lot of racial government/social cues (could be killed)

• Nissei had to reassure that it wouldn’t happen because America wouldn’t do that (racial equality)

Butter people: Racial discrimination from native Japanese people, feeling of don’t belong in America or native country

Nissei was pissed that American soldiers were disloyal and betrayed their statement

They associate themselves with Japan even tho they heard Japan from their parents, they devote themselves to the US

Collective trauma
