I am eagerly reaching out for a show of interest and/or paper topics for an organized panel for the Association for Asian Studies 2018 conference in Washington, D.C., the heart and political center of America, where 75 years ago, FDR signed Presidential Order 9066, forcibly relocating thousands of Japanese residing on the west coast, many of them US citizens, to heavily guarded internment camps, known as War Relocation Centers.
