The Politics of Prejudice: The Anti-Japanese Movement in California and the Struggle for Japanese Exclusion
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This classic study offers a history of anti-Japanese prejudice in California, extending from the late nineteenth century to 1924, when an immigration act excluded Japanese from entering the United States. The Politics of Prejudice details the political climate that helped to set the stage for the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II and reveals the racism present among middle-class American progressives, labor leaders, and other presumably liberal groups.
From the Inside Flap
"The years have failed to dull the sheen of this slender volume. Its thick subject matters--regionalism, racial politics, democracy--have taken on different casts over the life of the book, yet they retain their relevance and timeliness."--Gary Y. Okihiro, author of Margins and Mainstreams
"The insights offered by Roger Daniels almost four decades ago remain trenchant and incisive."--Sucheng Chan, author of This Bittersweet Soil
