"Desert Exile"

Paper Summary:

In this paper, it is shown that Uchida's historical recollection of the American interment camps of Japanese Americas is biased and circumstantial. Of course, the experiences of this author reflect the true-life events of one person's account of the interment, but do not provide a non-biased approach to histrionics of these incidents. Although confessional accounts, if used over a wider population, might give a broader look into this historical malady, the paper shows that Uchida makes no argument to portend the accounts are other than the author's own.

From the Paper:

"The issue of Japanese internment during World War II was the critical issue surrounding sovereignty of American citizens that were singled out in the American homeland. Uchida does not present a objective point of view simply because of the accounts that are provided and given by the author relating to historicity. Of course, personal documentation of the interment camps at Tanforan and Topaz reflect an important view of life for Japanese when being imprisoned, but Uchida does not make historical accusations that can explain overall societal and historical legitimacy of this era in American history."
