In this course, we will examine race and labor through the
experiences of a variety of groups, including Japanese American
internees, Mexican braceros, African American wartime industrial
workers, Latino “Zoot Suiters,” Victory Farm Volunteers, the Women’s
Land Army and Jamaican and Filipino farm workers. Examples of the
types of questions we will examine include:  Are race and labor
defined differently during wartime? How so? What is the relationship
between race and labor? How are the lived experiences and
representations of these experiences both different and similar?
