It restricted the freedom of a certain individual or a group of individuals based on actions that \u003ci\u003emay be\u003c\/i\u003e taken that would threaten the security of a nation or of a particular area. Yet the Act was never enforced before it was repealed in 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMasumi Izumi links the Emergency Detention Act with Japanese American wartime incarceration in her cogent study, \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of America's Concentration Camp Law.\u003c\/i\u003e She dissects the entangled discourses of race, national security, and civil liberties between 1941 and 1971 by examining how this historical precedent generated \"the concentration camp law\" and expanded a ubiquitous regime of surveillance in McCarthyist America. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIzumi also shows how political radicalism grew as a result of these laws. Japanese Americas were instrumental in forming grassroots social movements that worked to repeal Title II. \u003ci\u003eThe Rise and Fall of America's Concentration Camp Law\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely study in this age of insecurity where issues of immigration, race, and exclusion persist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Masumi Izumi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439917248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439917244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Masumi Izumi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44173027082495,"sku":"9781439917244","price":69.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-and-fall-of-masumi-izumi-9781439917244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
