The Migrant's Jail
Not White Enough
Japanese American Incarceration
Across the Divides
The importance of education for Asian Americans looking to fight race-based discrimination, create a sense of community, and reclaim and establish an identity is well documented. In 1884, Mary and Joseph Tape, Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco, sued the San Francisco Board of Education and the principal of the Spring Valley Primary School—Jennie Hurley--after Hurley denied their daughter, Mamie, admission because she was “Chinese” (thoug…

Sarah M. Griffith. The Fight for Asian American Civil Rights
Monographs and articles describing a twentieth-century civil rights movement that was as “wide” as it was “long”—encompassing multiple racial and ethnic groups—abound, but few approach the give and take of interethnic and interracial relationships among activists as elegantly and scrupulously as historian Sarah M. Griffith in her recent book The Fight for Asian American Civil Rights: Liberal Protestant Activism, 1900–1950. By using the concept of…
A Different Shade of Justice
A Different Shade of Justice uncovers Asian Americans’ fight for civil and human rights in the American South during the twentieth century. In the Jim Crow South, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, and later Vietnamese and Indians were the largest Asian populations in this region and experienced racial discrimination that was bolstered by various laws in southern states which prohibited everything from land ownership to interracial marriage. Although t…

Edlie L. Wong. Racial Reconstruction
In Racial Reconstruction: Black Inclusion, Chinese Exclusion, and the Fictions of Citizenship, Edlie L. Wong seeks to bring both the Chinese and the West into the narrative of Reconstruction, an era long dominated by examples of racial tensions, discrimination, and violence directed toward African Americans in the South. Although Wong is not the first scholar to argue for a more expansive portrayal of this era, underutilized sources and interdisc…
Fort Indiantown Gap and Pennsylvania's Role in Refugee Resettlement
Fort Indiantown Gap and Pennsylvania's Role in Refugee Resettlement Stephanie Hinnershitz (bio) Fort Indiantown Gap, located near Annville in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, is celebrated as a Pennsylvania Army and National Guard training center. Less well known, however, is the military site's connection to Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees. In 1932, the state of Pennsylvania purchased more than 18,000 acres of land in northern Lebanon and Dauphin…
Demanding an ‘adequate solution
This article analyses the American Legion’s role in developing a discourse of exclusion surrounding the Immigration Act of 1924. The Legion strategically used the political rhetoric of states’ rights and federalism in addition to racist and nativist language to emphasise the need for increased federal restrictions on immigration. The arguments found in the Legion’s resolutions, pamphlets and testimony to Congress place the organisation’s emphasis…
