"Judgments Judged and Wrongs Remembered"

I
'm thrilled to announce the online publication of "Judgments Judged and Wrongs Remembered: Examining the Japanese American Civil Liberties Cases on Their Sixtieth Anniversary," a symposium issue of the interdisciplinary journal Law & Contemporary Problems. My Foreword, which briefly introduces each of the twelve articles, is here. And the dedication of the issue to the memory of Fred Korematsu is here.

Each of the articles is available online in full-text, and also in pdf format. You'll find lots of provocative reading if you're interested in the Japanese American internment of World War II and its relevance to current debates on antiterrorism policyand racial profiling.

I notice that the pathetic Ken Masugi did not submit anything. Was he invited? It's too bad that those on the other side don't ever appear in meetings and symposia where their ideas could be exposed to real scrutiny.

I had the privilege of attending the conference you put together at the Japanese American National Museum last year. Kudos to you for getting that thing organized, and for getting some of those presentations into "print" format.
