Sinopse
Características

Wherever I Go Ill Always Be a Loyal American is the story of how the Seattle public schools responded to the news of its Japanese American (Nisei) students internment upon the signing of Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 14, 1942. Drawing upon previously untapped letters and compositions written by the students themselves during the time in which the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the internment order took place, Pak explores how the schools and their students attempted to cope with evident contradiction and dissonance in democracy and citizenship. Emerging from the school districts tradition of emphasizing equality of all races and the governments forced evacuation orders based on racial exclusion, this dissonance became real and lived experience for Nisei school children, whose cognitive dissonance is best revealed in poignant phrases like I am and will always be an American citizen.
