In the wake of 9/11, many Muslims around the United States faced a
backlash of resentment and anger. This groundswell of emotion was not
without parallel, as Japanese and Japanese-Americans faced a similar
reaction after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Independent
Television Service has developed this Web site to bring a human face to
the experiences of Muslims and Japanese people in the United States by
collecting these powerful interviews from members of both groups. On the
site, visitors can listen to stories from older Japanese-Americans talk
about their experiences on the West Coast after Pearl Harbor, and the
experiences of Muslims, both young and old. The interviews are divided
into thematic sections, such as "Fear," "Internment," "Identity," and
"Being American." At another section of the site, visitors can respond
to the stories, and a glossary of terms is also provided as background
material. Overall, this site serves as a fine educational tool, and for
those looking for a number of perspectives on the experience of living
in America.
