• According to its mission statement, JAAS "seeks to define Asian American studies as a distinct, interdisciplinary scholarly pursuit and to integrate Asian American perspectives into the various disciplines that contribute to the development of the field." [...]our primary purposes are to present the latest intellectual developments and multidisciplinary perspectives that make our field so dynamic and to promote active dialogue among Asian Americanists and others. [...]Anna Pegler-Gordon focuses our attention on the history of internment, but instead of looking at the well-examined history of the West Coast, she considers the overlooked histories of Ellis Island as a site of Japanese American wartime confinement.
