Opposition to Internet: Defending Japanese American rights during World War II

Shaffer presents a sampling of the people who spoke up on behalf of Japanese Americans during WWII by looking at some of the individuals who did so on the local level in Seattle. He focuses specifically on the role that missionaries who had served in Japan played in the networks of activists that emerged in opposition to internment. Shaffer shows that the strongest opponents to US internment policy had developed close ties to Japanese Americans.
