Download Uprooted: The Japanese American Experience During World War II AudioBook Free
On the 75th wedding anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor comes a harrowing and enlightening look at the internment of Japanese Americans during World Conflict II, from National Book Prize finalist Albert Marrin. Just 75 years back, the American administration did something that most would consider unthinkable today: It round up over 100,000 of its citizens predicated on only their ancestry and, dubious of their devotion, stored them in attention camps for the better part of four years. How could this have happened? Uprooted requires a close look at the history of racism in the us and carefully uses the treacherous course that led one of our own nation's most much loved presidents to get this to decision. On the other hand, it also illuminates the history of Japan and its own problems with racism and xenophobia, which resulted in the bombing of Pearl Harbor, in the end tying both countries jointly. Today America is still filled up with racial pressure, and personal liberty in wartime is really as relevant a topic as ever before. Moving and impactful, National Book Prize finalist Albert Marrin's sobering exploration of the monumental injustice shines as excellent a light on current occasions as it can on the past.
