The definition of citizenship captured my eyes: whether it being a matter of political, cultural, or racial. In response to the Pearl Harbor, the Unites States enacted the interment policy towards Japanese Americans which “in effect nullified their citizenship, exclusively on grounds of racial difference.” Though having the same political origins, the U.S wartime policy toward Japanese completely diverged from that of the German and Italian, simply because their methods were not sound enough to deal with Japanese loyalty towards the U.S. What determines the extent of loyalty was a loyalty questionnaire-“Application for Leave Clearance,” which was carefully written to obtain a desired response from the authorities. When a standardized method was subject and biased in terms that responders were able to fake their answers, these questionnaires to me dysfunction in a sense of authenticity, but rather became a symbol of the desired American citizens: absolutely loyal and completely assimilated. To add on that, the WRA attempted to ban Japanese language, religion, and culture to Americanize the already American Japanese. It turned out that the internees were conflicted between their two identities and forced into a defense of their Japanese side which they did not necessarily feel-this resulted in renunciation. The application for renunciation and the affidavits to reclaim citizenship both showed evidence of coaching, which was designed to fulfill the desires of the authorities. The internees’ experiences tell a story of how the cultural assimilation makes the sense of dual nationalism ambiguous to them and thus influences how they identify themselves with.
