It compares attempts by government officials, internees, academics, and activists to control interpretations of internment causes and consequences in congressional hearings, court proceedings, scholarship, popular literature, ethnic community events, monuments, museums, films, and Web sites. Initial accounts celebrated internee loyalty, military patriotism, postwar assimilation, and \"model minority\" success. Later histories emphasized racist \"concentration camps,\" protests inside the camps, and continued suffering within the community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice Yang Murray is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
