Sommario/riassunto

Proponents of term limits have constantly argued that term limits of its legislature created more honest and creative legislative body, but DePalo's twenty-year study of term limits in Florida shows this is not the case, finding that term limits create a more powerful governor, legislative staffers, and lobbyists.

Sommario/riassunto

This study by Leonard Broom and John I. Kitsuse examines the adjustment of Japanese Americans during World War II, focusing on their forced evacuation from the Pacific Coast, internment in government-controlled centers, and eventual release. It highlights the impact of these events on family units, which were central to the Japanese community both in Japan and the United States. The authors analyze the preservation of family groups during the relocation process and the cultural and social backgrounds influencing their adaptations. The book includes case studies that illustrate the diverse experiences of Japanese American families, providing insights into their cultural conservatism, acculturation, and shifts in family authority. This work is intended for scholars and readers interested in the social dynamics of wartime America and the Japanese American experience.
