Against All Odds: The Campaign in Congress for Japanese American Redress
內容大綱
The dramatic story of how the Japanese American community successfully lobbied Congress and the White House for legislation mandating financial compensation for those of their number sent to detention camps in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The case not only tells the inside story of a decade-long lobbying campaign-including a carefully-researched personal approach which changed Ronald Reagan's mind on the subject-but serves as a model of how bills really become laws. Aspects of this process explored in the narrative include internal legislative strategy, the role of the press, the role of grassroots organization, and the structure and nature of coalitions.
