Politics of Prejudice: Anti-Japanese Movement in California Paperback - 1999 - 1st Edition

by Roger Daniels


From the publisher

This classic study offers a history of anti-Japanese prejudice in California, extending from the late nineteenth century to 1924, when an immigration act excluded Japanese from entering the United States. The Politics of Prejudice details the political climate that helped to set the stage for the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II and reveals the racism present among middle-class American progressives, labor leaders, and other presumably liberal groups.

First line

THIS STUDY will tell the story of California's anti-Japanese movement through its first major triumph, the Japanese exclusion provisions of the Immigration Act of 1924.

From the rear cover

"The years have failed to dull the sheen of this slender volume. Its thick subject matters--regionalism, racial politics, democracy--have taken on different casts over the life of the book, yet they retain their relevance and timeliness."--Gary Y. Okihiro, author of Margins and Mainstreams

"The insights offered by Roger Daniels almost four decades ago remain trenchant and incisive."--Sucheng Chan, author of This Bittersweet Soil
