Removal and Return: The Socio-Economic Effects of the War on Japanese Americans, by Leonard Broom and Ruth Riemer, offers a pioneering sociological account of how World War II and the forced wartime removal reshaped the lives of Japanese Americans. Drawing on census records, government data, and original fieldwork—including community surveys and loss assessments—the authors trace prewar occupational structures, the mass disruption caused by evacuation and incarceration, and the uncertain adjustments that followed resettlement. They reveal how the Japanese American community in Los Angeles, once marked by its distinctive concentrations in small-scale proprietorships, agriculture, and produce trading, was fractured by the dispossession of land and businesses, and by the dispersal of entire neighborhoods such as Terminal Island.At the heart of the book is a comparative analysis of prewar and postwar status, situating Japanese Americans alongside whites and African Americans to highlight both their economic vulnerabilities and their distinctive patterns of resilience. Broom and Riemer examine contract gardening, the fishing industry, and other family-based enterprises, while also assessing the enormous personal and financial losses sustained during removal. Their study pays close attention to questions of stratification and mobility, showing how the evacuation reordered hierarchies within the Japanese American community and forced many into less stable, lower-prestige occupations after the war. By combining empirical rigor with acute sensitivity to lived experience, Removal and Return stands as a foundational text for understanding the long-term socio-economic consequences of wartime incarceration and the resilience of a community rebuilding its place in American life.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1973.

Managed Casualty investigates the profound effects of World War II-era policies on Japanese-American families, focusing on their forced removal, internment, and eventual release. By centering the analysis on the family unit, the study captures the unique dynamics of cultural resilience, adaptation, and the challenges imposed by administrative policies during one of the most tumultuous periods in Japanese-American history. The research explores how families, integral to Japanese-American community structure, navigated the pressures of displacement while striving to maintain cohesion under government-imposed constraints.The book meticulously examines the origins of the Japanese family system, the immigrant experience, and the development of ethnic communities in the United States. It contrasts pre-war conditions with the upheavals brought by wartime policies, documenting the adaptations families made to preserve their unity and identity. Drawing on diverse case studies, the work provides a textured understanding of the social, economic, and cultural realities faced by Japanese Americans. By weaving together administrative context and individual experiences, the study offers critical insights into the lasting impacts of this historical period on family structures and the broader Japanese-American community.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Traditionally, the Cherokees dance to ensure individual health and social welfare. According to legend, the dance songs bequeathed to them by the Stone Coat monster will assuage all the ills of life that the monster brought. Winter dance (including the Booger Dance, which expresses the Cherokees' anxiety at the white invasion) are to be given only during times of frost, lest they affect the growth of vegetation by attracting cold and death. The summer dance (the Green Corn Ceremony and the Ballplayer's Dance) are associated with crops and vegetation. Other dances are purely for social intercourse and entertainment or are prompted by specific events in the community.When it was first published in 1951, this description of the dances of a conservative Eastern Cherokee band was hailed as a scholarly contribution that could not be duplicated, Frank G. Speak and Leonard Broom had achieved the close and sustained interaction that very best ethnological fieldwork requires. Their principal informant, will West Long, upheld the unbroken ceremonial tradition of the Big Cove band, near Cherokee, North Carolina.

Originally published in 1980 at a time when the discipline of sociology was still relatively young in Australia, The Inheritance of Inequality is an important contribution to the study of social mobility in Australia. The book is based on findings from a survey of nearly 5,000 Australians who were interviewed about their family backgrounds and occupational careers. In its scope and sample size, the survey was unique among non-governmental Australian studies. It went beyond the findings of earlier surveys, giving broader understanding of social mobility and stratification. The book sets out the processes by which Australians have found their place in the world of work in the 20th Century. Factors tending to enhance or frustrate attainment are identified and the degree to which Australia is an egalitarian society is assessed.

In this book, originally published in 1973, the authors show just how wide-ranging and deep-rooted are the disadvantages of the Australian Aboriginal population. The title refers to an Aboriginal commentary on all they received for their land. Shockingly, when this book was written, there was a severe lack of meaningful information regarding the Aborigine population: their number, employment or educational attainment. The authors argue powerfully in this book that until this extraordinary ignorance was rectified, there could be no basis for planning vital improvements. The authors stressed the need for public authorities to gather information on Aboriginal health, housing, employment and education, as without this no attempt to overcome the gross inequalities could succeed. A valuable source of historical data, this book remains important reading for politicians, social workers, sociologists and anthropologists.
