Letter from Fred Hoshiyama to Joseph R. Goodman
No full textLetter from Fred Hoshiyama to Joseph R. Goodman: Dear Joe: Linc [Lincoln Kanai] wrote yesterday and reading between the lines he must have talked with you. He is trying to help from "free" America for those in "enslaved" America. It might be good idea for Joe Conard to let Rev. Robbin W. Barstow know exact address (203, Baker St.) of his working H.Q... Rev. Barstow who I understand is the head of the Student Relocation Program thinks it's still in one of his YMCA offices of S.F. I got 50 cents from Rosie Suyenaga. She wants me to send this $1.00 which I am enclosing for you to continue bringing in little bits of crackers, etc. for her youngsters (nieces-nephews). Mr. Sakai passed away Sunday AM. Too bad, but family expected it and were steeled for the inevitable. Over 36 births expected in 60 days. Hospital not adequate for serious operations. One worry is the fact that no word of patients condition except death call given when patients taken to outside hospital. Can't have decent wake here. Given short time only... lots of graft suspected (Canteen, commissary). Will be investigating - tell Geo. Shigekawa to work on it... Find out plans for large family groups who can't relocation. Robby got his notebook. Yours, Fred.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

Letter from Fred Hoshiyama to Joseph R. Goodman, September 20, 1942
No full textLetter from Fred Hoshiyama to Joseph R. Goodman, sent from Topaz shortly after arriving by train. Hoshiyama describes the surrounding environment, living conditions, extreme temperatures, and dust. He mentions high regard for the top camp administrators, as well as concern that incarcerees are being transferred to centers before living conditions have adequately been met. He writes that there is a lot of gambling among incarcerees which he sees as a problem that should be dealt with in a self-government council, and not with camp administration. Other topics include work and labor, camp construction, Protestant and Buddhist religious services, self-government structure, declining quality of the food, late-night gatherings in the shower rooms, ability for incarcerees to seek medical care when needed, and education services.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.
