Mary Brave Bird (Crow Dog) with Richard Erdoes
Why is it important for the authors to make distinctions between the educational experiences of American Indian children and the experiences of white children?
Explain the authors' resistance and hostility toward "sympathetic whites" and their educational models for Native children. How do they see work of "do-gooders, the white Indian lovers"?
Yuri Kochiyama
What changed for the author "on the day Pearl Harbor was bombed"? What were consequences for Japanese Americans? How did President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 impact their lives? How do such events complicate our understanding of ‘bootstrap’ economic myths?
Kochiyama ends the piece by making connections between the Japanese internment and other exclusionary and racist moments in U.S. history. Name some of them and reflect on how theyimpact the meaning of the events in "Then Came the War."
Frank Wu
How does "race matter" for Frank Wu?
Describe some of the ways people can be "transfixed by a racial stereotype."
