Often overlooked in
the infamous history of U.S. internment during World War II is the
plight of internee children. Drawn from personal interviews and multiple
primary source materials, Schools behind Barbed Wire is the first book
to uncover this unique chapter in American history. Previous to the
attack on Pearl Harbor, the children of German and Japanese nationals
took their 'Americanness' for granted. Many were citizens, born on
American soil. Many had worn Boy Scout uniforms, pledged allegiance to
the flag, and even collected tin foil in order to do their 'bit' for the
war effort. But all this changed with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941. Without warning their American identity was suspect
and on the basis of their parents' nationality, they too were treated as
enemies of the state and shipped off to remote internment camps such as
the one located in Crystal City, TX. Schools behind Barbed Wire is the
story of the boys and girls who grew up in the Crystal City internment
camp and spent the war years attending one of its three internment camp
schools. These children attended regular classes in math and English,
joined clubs, and tried to go about 'normal' life in the most
extraordinary of circumstances. For many, their wartime experiences were
often the defining moments of their lives. Professor Karen L. Riley has
meticulously recorded the struggles these children faced everyday in
her new book Schools behind Barbed Wire. No account of World War II
would be complete without the wartime stories of these children.
