| Eric K. Yamamoto | Beyond Redress: Japanese Americans' Unfinished Business | 7 Asian Law Journal 131 (December, 2000) | I am honored to be here at such a diverse gathering. This Day of Remembrance will likely mean many different things for different people. It will mean one thing for those who suffered the internment, struggled for redress and received an apology and reparations. It will mean something different for children and grandchildren of internees who have... | 2000 |

| Gil Gott | A Tale of New Precedents: Japanese American Internment as Foreign Affairs Law | 40 Boston College Law Review 179 (December, 1998) | In a recently published book on the status of civil liberties in wartime, Chief Justice William H.

| Christine Ann Lobasso | Elevation of The Individual: International Legal Issues That Flow from The American Internment of The West Coast Japanese During World WarII | 8 Touro International Law Review 45 (Spring, 1998) | The sudden Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 shocked the United States into war with Japan. This offensive act also induced a fear on the American West Coast that blended with preexistent anti-Asian sentiment to culminate in an incident that can best be described as a suspension of the civil liberties of approximately 112,000 West... | 1998 |
| Mari J. Matsuda | Foreword: Mccarthyism, The Internment and The Contradictions of Power | 40 Boston College Law Review Rev. 9 (December, 1998) | There is naked power, which grabs and smashes without need for denial or justification. There is legitimized power, which justifies without denying. There is masked power, which never justifies, because the denial of its own existence is complete. The articles in this symposium call to mind all three kinds of power. The internment, falling in the... | 1998 |

Disregard for International Law in The World WarII Internment of Japanese Peruvians - A Case Study | 40 Boston College Law Review 275 (December, 1998) | The federal government will pay $5,000 settlements and issue an apology to Japanese who were taken from their homes in Latin America and held in U.S. internment camps during World War II, a Justice Department official said Thursday.

| Keith Aoki | No Right to Own?: The Early Twentieth-century "Alien Land Laws" as A Prelude to Internment | 40 Boston College Law Review 37 (December, 1998) | The past is never dead. It's not even past. It was a long time before we began to understand exploitation . It is possible that the struggles now taking place and the local, regional and discontinuous theories that derive from these struggles and that are indissociable from them stand at the threshold of our discovery of the manner in which power... | 1998 |
| Eric K. Yamamoto | Racial Reparations: Japanese American Redress and African American Claims | 40 Boston College Law Review 477 (December, 1998) | In 1991 the United States Office of Redress Administration presented the first $20,000 reparations check to the oldest Hawaii survivor of the Japanese American internment camps.

| Sumi Cho | Redeeming Whiteness in The Shadow of Internment: Earl Warren, Brown, and A Theory of Racial Redemption | 40 Boston College Law Review 73 (December, 1998) | Earl Warren is a civil rights/civil liberties icon. During his reign as Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1953-69, the Court set standards of liberal judicial activism on race issues by which future Courts would be judged. Chief Justice Warren presided over momentous decisions that outlawed segregation in public education and public... | 1998 |

Race & L. 165 (1996). | 4 Asian Law Journal 198 (May, 1997) | Authors Oh and Wu argue that the Supreme Court's recent decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena may permit invidious racial classification to survive constitutional challenge. The authors believe that the Court's application of strict scrutiny to affirmative action programs could allow a return to discriminatory race-based laws as earlier... | 1997 |
| Joel B. Grossman | The Japanese American Cases and The Vagaries of Constitutional Adjudication in Wartime: An Institutional Perspective | 19 University of Hawaii Law Review 649 (Fall 1997) | Notwithstanding the worldwide emergence of constitutions and constitutionalism, the proliferation of constitutional courts with powers of judicial review, and the spread of the rights revolution and concerns for international human rights, rights are always at risk in wartime and other national security crises. It has been said, perhaps with some... | 1997 |

The injustice of these events perpetrated by the United States government has awakened the conscience of Congress enough to induce it to appropriate redress to the victims. The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 began providing... | 1996 |

Those decisions were understood then as being emphatically not about race, but have been understood since as... | 1996 |
| Dean Masaru Hashimoto | The Legacy of Korematsu v. United States: A Dangerous Narrative Retold | 4 Asian Pacific American Law Journal 72 (Fall, 1996) | My family never discussed in any detail the internment of my father during World War II until my involvement in the relitigation of Korematsu v.

New York: Oxford University Press, 1983. Pp. Xiii, 407. $18.95. | 59 Washington Law Review 843 (September, 1984) | With all the advantages of hindsight, the shameful episode that saw the militarily ordered exclusion and internment of over 112,000 Japanese Americans during World War II without declaration of martial law looms as one of the greatest mass deprivations of civil liberties by the American government since slavery.
