{"product_id":"landscapes-of-injustice-9780228001713","title":"Landscapes of Injustice","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1942, the Canadian government forced more than 21,000 Japanese Canadians from their homes in British Columbia. They were told to bring only one suitcase each and officials vowed to protect the rest. Instead, Japanese Canadians were dispossessed, all their belongings either stolen or sold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe definitive statement of a major national research partnership, \u003ci\u003eLandscapes of Injustice \u003c\/i\u003ereinterprets the internment of Japanese Canadians by focusing on the deliberate and permanent destruction of home through the act of dispossession. All forms of property were taken. Families lost heirlooms and everyday possessions. They lost decades of investment and labour. They lost opportunities, neighbourhoods, and communities; they lost retirements, livelihoods, and educations. When Japanese Canadians were finally released from internment in 1949, they had no homes to return to. Asking why and how these events came to pass and charting Japanese Canadians' diverse responses, this book details the implications and legacies of injustice perpetrated under the cover of national security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLandscapes of Injustice \u003c\/i\u003ethe diverse descendants of dispossession work together to understand what happened. They find that dispossession is not a chapter that closes or a period that neatly ends. It leaves enduring legacies of benefit and harm, shame and silence, and resilience and activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors include: Eric M.
