{Blog # 5} Espiritu

Asian males were stripped of their masculinity. Asians were thrown into concentration camps because the American government wanted to make sure that Asians weren't a threat to America. The men were degraded, fired from their jobs, treated like animals, and were forced to live in cramped housing with their families. Asian got the worst part of discrimination from the American government. The government did it on purpose so that the families were to grow more distant. The relations between families were most important and if they grew distant then they had no connections. Through everything Asian males i believe were able to bounce back.

  1. This is a nice summary, but you are supposed to respond to Espiritu's article. Pick one point Espiritu makes and discuss how it relates to Asian men's masculinity.
