As Jerry Garci;a reveals, they were victims of discrimination based on difference, but they also displayed markers of whiteness that linked them positively to Europeans and Americans, who were perceived as powerful and socially advanced. And, Garci;a reports, many Mexicans looked favorably on the Japanese as hardworking and family-centered. The book delves deeply into the experiences of the Japanese on both sides of the border during World War II, illuminating the similarities and differences in their treatment. Although some Japanese Mexicans were eventually interned (at the urging of the US government), in general the fear and vitriol that Japanese Americans encountered never reached the same levels in Mexico.
