Concentration Camps on the Home Front: Japanese Americans in the House of Jim Crow is a book by Richard S. Nishimoto that examines the experiences of Japanese Americans during World War II. The book focuses on the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during the war, and the ways in which this experience was shaped by the broader context of racism and discrimination in the United States.
The book begins by discussing the background to the internment of Japanese Americans, including the factors that led to the decision to relocate them and the legal and constitutional issues involved. It then examines the experiences of Japanese Americans during internment, including the conditions in the camps and the ways in which they were treated by the authorities.
The book also looks at the broader context of racism and discrimination in the United States, including the history of segregation and the ways in which Japanese Americans were subjected to racial prejudice and discrimination even before the internment. It discusses the lasting impact of the internment on Japanese Americans and the ways in which it has shaped the community's identity and experiences.
