Abstract

Symbolism Under Siege: Japanese American Redress and the "Racing" of Arab Americans as "Terrorists"Natsu Taylor Saitot Warren, Roosevelt, DeWitt, and others were the architects of the internment, but we are its authors.We write of it and hope to find meaning in it, honoring those who lived it....We honor the quiet dignity of those who left on the trains for the desert.We honor the maverick rebellion of those who refused to go.We honor the Issei... whose survival was their response to those who would deny their humanity.Here we are, writing as their heirs, writing the meaning of the internment.
