It first exposes specific Mexican state practices that tacitly or explicitly targeted the Japanese. It then examines the operation of Haciendas used as concentration camps. Lastly, it documents the arbitrary detentions, mobility controls, captivity, forced labour and disappearances through which the concentration system operated, as well as the state and non-state actors involved in their administration. The study shows that many of the Japanese targeted were Mexicans by birth or naturalisation, and\/or had legally resided in Mexico for decades and were persecuted based on their ethno-racial origin. It contends that the Mexican state produced a situation of rightlessness for people of Japanese ancestry in Mexico and their families, and considers the longer and wider antecedents and implications of this history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIO\uff1a<\/strong><br \/>\nDr. Jessica A.
