Last week, to parallel an exhibit at the Jewish Museum of Milwaukee – “Then They Came for Me: Incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII and the Demise of Civil Liberties” – the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies organized a series of lectures to tell the stories of Japanese Latin American populations during the same time period.
Dr. Jerry Garcia, headed the series with “Inside an Invisible Iron Wall: The Forced Relocation of Japanese and Japanese Mexicans during World War II.” Dr. Garcia received his Ph.D. in Mexican and Chicano history from Washington State University and focuses his research on Chicana/o History, Labor, Latin American and Mexican History, Asians in the Americas, immigration, empire, masculinity, and race in the Americas. He joins Friday Buzz host, Peter Haney, to talk more about this.
