Name: The Politics of Accommodation: Living Conditions at Seabrook Farms

Migrant workers, forcibly-relocated Japanese-Americans, and POWs shared a common experience as laborers, but the status of their national and international citizenship created stark differences in their quality of life, specifically in regards to housing and health standards.
