It restricted the freedom of a certain individual or a group of individuals based on actions that \u003ci\u003emay be \u003c\/i\u003etaken 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 Yet the Act was never enforced before it was repealed in 1971.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMasumi Izumi links the Emergency Detention Act with Japanese American wartime incarceration in her cogent study,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\u003eShe 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\u003eis 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 1439917256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439917251\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 10\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.61d","brand":"Masumi Izumi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071454310655,"sku":"9781439917251","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2110cff4-6b48-4382-8032-099050314e9c.jpg?v=1685436189","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rise-and-fall-of-masumi-izumi-9781439917251","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
