Hui Wu. Writing and Teaching behind Barbed Wire: An Exiled Composition Class in a Japanese-American Internment Camp.

Wu, Hui. "Writing and Teaching behind Barbed Wire: An Exiled Composition Class in a Japanese-American Internment Camp." CCC 59.2 (2007): 237-262.

Abstract:

By reflecting on Japanese internment camps executed by the U.S. government in World War II, this article examines camp schools' curricula and writing assignments and an English teacher's response to student essays to show how racially profiled students and their Caucasian teacher negotiated the political meanings of civil rights and freedom.
