Additional Detail(s)
Type: Exhibition section
Name: The Politics of Accommodation: Living Conditions at Seabrook Farms
Detail: Seabrook Farms' complex role in WWII agribusiness created a need for a rapid labor influx. 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.
Additional Detail(s)
Type: Exhibition caption
Detail: The housing quarters were separated by family, bachelors and misses. While there was space for community engagement in the bachelors and misses dormitories, communing was not encouraged, as noted by the empty bookshelf. As in many spaces at Seabrook, there was an illusion of opportunity and good living conditions.
