An important addition to any multicultural collection, this title examines the internment of "enemy aliens" in the United States and Canada during the Second World War. With particular emphasis on "yellow peril" and the plight of Japanese-American and Canadian citizens, the book reveals the events, mindsets, and policies leading up to and following the forced removal of thousands of citizens from their homes into internment camps. Using primary sources including real accounts of survivors, the title encourages readers to examine differing perspectives on the events and think critically about the complex relationship between citizenship and diversity in North America. A final chapter considers the lasting effects of internment - and how harmful stereotypes in today's global climate run the risk of repeating past mistakes. Teacher's guide available.

      Gr 6-9-This series makes use of primary sources to enhance a general historical overview of a topic. The United States and Canada are tackled, and the books show the two nations' shared history and experiences, with coverage slightly weighted toward the United States. Readers are instructed about many different types of primary sources (called "evidence") and offered examples of how these sources can help piece together the past. Background information and a thorough discussion and analysis of the topics are supported by source quotes and numerous reproductions of photos, cartoons, posters, and many types of documents. Boxed "Evidence Record Cards" document and explain each source, and "Analyze This" questions encourage readers to think about how sources can provide new or conflicting perspectives or change their ideas about the topic.
