Summary:

This study by Leonard Broom and John I. Kitsuse examines the adjustment of Japanese Americans during World War II, focusing on their forced evacuation from the Pacific Coast, internment in government-controlled centers, and eventual release. It highlights the impact of these events on family units, which were central to the Japanese community both in Japan and the United States. The authors analyze the preservation of family groups during the relocation process and the cultural and social backgrounds influencing their adaptations. The book includes case studies that illustrate the diverse experiences of Japanese American families, providing insights into their cultural conservatism, acculturation, and shifts in family authority.
