Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American expansion, says Richard Drinnon, is characterized by repression and racism. In his reinterpretation of "winning" the West, Drinnon links racism with colonialism and traces this interrelationship from the Pequot War in New England, through American expansion westward to the Pacific, and beyond to the Phillippines and Vietnam. He cites parrallels between the slaughter of bison on the Great Plains and the defoliation of Vietnam and notes similarities in the language of aggression used in the American West, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia.

Located near the middle of the memorial site, it functions to a certain extent as a referrer to the other twelve exhibitions at the Memorial. The exhibition also offers a compact overview of selected parts of the camp's history. It examines important events and periods such as the camp's establishment in 1936, the mass internments in 1938, changes with the outbreak of war in 1939, the mass murder of Soviet prisoners of war in 1941, the creation of satellite camps beginning in 1942, and the final phase, with mass murders, the death marches and, at last, liberation. The sections of the exhibition are arranged so as to create a pattern of events within the display space, thus revealing interrelationships, as well as constants and changes, in the development of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp."--Cover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adios to Tears is the very personal story of Seiichi Higashide (1909–97), whose life in three countries was shaped by a bizarre and little-known episode in the history of World War II. Born in Hokkaido, Higashide emigrated to Peru in 1931. By the late 1930s he was a shopkeeper and community leader in the provincial town of Ica, but following the outbreak of World War II, he—along with other Latin American Japanese—was seized by police and forcibly deported to the United States. He was interned behind barbed wire at the Immigration and Naturalization Service facility in Crystal City, Texas, for more than two years. After his release, Higashide elected to stay in the U.S. and eventually became a citizen. For years, he was a leader in the effort to obtain redress from the American government for the violation of the human rights of the Peruvian Japanese internees. Higashide’s moving memoir was translated from Japanese into English and Spanish through the efforts of his eight children, and was first published in 1993. This second edition includes a new Foreword by C. Harvey Gardiner, professor emeritus of history at Southern Illinois University and author of Pawns in a Triangle of Hate: The Peruvian Japanese and the United States; a new Epilogue by Julie Small, cochair of Campaign for Justice–Redress Now for Japanese Latin Americans; and a new Preface by Elsa H. Kudo, eldest daughter of Seiichi Higashide.
