A PERCEIVED ETHNIC FACTOR IN CALIFORNIA\u27S FARM LABOR CONFLICT: THE NISEI FARMERS LEAGUE

The farm labor conflict has been volatile for over three quarters of a century in California\u27s rich agriculture valleys. The most recent years of this struggle have been associated with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Worker’s Union (UFW). A new element, the Nisei Farmers League (NFL), also emerged during the same time period. The NFL was formed in 1971 after some Japanese American farmers were picketed and their property damaged by persons sympathetic to the UFW. These growers charged that they had been singled out by the UFW in their area. Their ranches are located in central San Joaquin Valley in Fresno and Tulare Counties. The group was formed to counter the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee\u27s efforts to unionize local farm laborers

Religion and Japanese Americans\u27 Views of Their World War II Incarceration

In this paper, we explore the effects that the two major, broad religious orientations found in the Japanese American community, Buddhism and Protestantism, may have had on how Nisei reacted to, and recall, their wartime experiences. A caveat is warranted before we proceed. We recognize that there is a great deal of variability in religious beliefs and practices within these two categories. However, our omnibus survey instrument only permitted respondents to indicate their current, self-identified religious category. It did not inquire about specific religious attitudes or behaviors. Thus, we will be able to examine only the most overarching potential distinctions between the two religious orientations
