Legal and political history of Italian immigrants in the United States preceding 1941 -- The face of selective internment and the impact of other wartime restrictions -- I was given a so-called hearing : the struggle for justice in the internment process -- Bocce behind barbed wire : checks on government power in the camps. |
| Summary |
Shedding new light on an injustice often overshadowed by the mass confinement of Japanese Americans, Mary Elizabeth Basile Chopas traces how government and military leaders constructed wartime policies affecting Italian residents. Based on new archival research into the alien enemy hearings, this in-depth legal analysis illuminates a process not widely understood. |
