This study examines the representation of Japanese American experiences in internment camps during World War II in children's and adolescent literature. This study focuses on a specific set of children's and adolescent books about one time period in the history of Japanese Americans. I have formulated two major research questions for this study. The first question: What are the characteristics of the selected children's and adolescent books about Japanese American experiences during World War II? The second question: How do the selected children's and adolescent books portray the experiences and responses of Japanese Americans during World War II?I selected fourteen books for inclusion in this study and analyzed the books related to my research questions. These books are organized into three genres: picture books, historical fiction, and nonfiction. The research methodology for this study is qualitative content analysis that includes methods for data collection and analysis and descriptions of the books and illustrations. I used the research questions to first examine books in each of the three genres and then make comparisons across the three genres.The findings based on the first research question include that the books are based on the research and experiences of both authors and illustrators and have a range of time periods from before the war to after the war. The findings also show that in the books, the authors and Japanese Americans express their criticism of Japanese Americans' experiences in the difficult situations related to the internment camps. They criticize the treatment of Japanese Americans by the U.S. government and discrimination against Japanese Americans.The analysis of the books based on the second research question provides insights into the experiences of Japanese Americans and how they felt, thought, and acted. The books portray the prejudice and discrimination faced by Japanese Americans from the point of immigrating to the United States and even after the war. The most important finding is that the books portray Japanese American children as creating lives of significance in the difficult conditions of assembly centers and internment camps.

Le sujet de cette thèse traite des seize camps d’internement administratif implantés dans les six départements de la région Provence Côte‐d’Azur entre la Libération et décembre 1945. Dans cette région libérée, mais économiquement exsangue et encore en guerre dans sa partie orientale jusqu’en mai 1945, nous nous demanderons si l’internement administratif, un outil de l’épuration quasiment absent de l’historiographie régionale, est déconnecté des tensions propresà ce territoire ou si, au contraire, il les cristallise. Dans un premier temps, nous nous interrogerons sur la mise en pratique des textes normatifs qui donnent lieu à la création et à l’aménagement des centres de séjour surveillé dans la région R2 au cours des premières semaines chaotiques de la Libération. Une seconde partie porte sur l’organisation des campsdans tous ses aspects : les recherches de financement, le quotidien des internés, le ravitaillement et le transport, l‘état sanitaire, le recrutement du personnel et la sécurité des camps. La troisième partie propose une étude des populations internées ainsi qu’une approche sociologique constituée à partir d’un échantillon de 624 internés des centres de séjour surveillé de Saint‐Mitre (Bouches‐du‐Rhône), de Sorgues (Vaucluse) et de Saint‐Vincent‐les‐Forts (Basses‐Alpes). Avec lafin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, cette thèse explore enfin la dissolution des camps et les nouvelles affectations de ces lieux, tout en abordant la question du risque mémoriel. / The subject of this thesis deals with 16 administrative internment camps planted in the six departments of the Provence Côte d’Azur region between the liberation and December 1945. In this liberated, but economically sapped region that was still at war in its eastern parts until May 1945, we ask ourselves if administrative internment, as a tool for purification practically absent in the region’s historiography, is it disconnected from the real tensions of this territory or if, on the contrary, it crystallized them. First of all we ask ourselves about how the various texts for creating and transforming the guarded centers in the region R2 during the chaotic days of the liberation came about. In the second part there is the examination of the organization of the camps in all their aspects: looking for finance, daily life for the internees, the transport, state of health, the recruiting of the personal, and the security of the camps. In the third part a study is proposed of the population of internees as well as a sociological approach made up from a sample of 624 internees from guarded centers in Saint‐Mitre (Bouches‐du‐Rhône), in Sorgues (Vaucluse) and in Saint‐Vincent‐les‐Forts (Basses‐Alpes). With the end of the second world war, this thesis explores the dismantling of the camps and the new uses of these sites, addressing thequestion of the risks of memorials.

Cette thèse porte sur les missions du Comité international de la Croix Rouge (CICR) pendant la guerre d’Algérie et ses suites. Le CICR intervient, d’une part, dans le cadre de guerres opposant des États et, d’autre part, en cas de conflit armé non international afin de tenter d’assurer le respect des règles humanitaires. Au cours des « évènements » algériens, les arrestations massives de membres et militants du Front de libération nationale (FLN) finissent par saturer les prisons et contribuent à la création de centres d’assignation. Par ailleurs, dès l’indépendance de l’Algérie, des milliers de supplétifs de l’armée française sont internés dans des camps, puis incarcérés pour nombre d’entre eux. L’objectif de ce travail doctoral est l’étude des principales initiatives entreprises par le CICR afin de faire appliquer quelques règles du droit humanitaire aux personnes concernées, pendant les sept années et demi de guérilla et après l’indépendance algérienne. Il est essentiellement question de prisons et de camps d’internement où les délégués contrôlent les conditions matérielles, le traitement et la discipline appliqués aux nationalistes et, plus tard, aux Européens pro-Algérie française arrêtés à partir du début de l’année 1961 ainsi qu’aux anciens supplétifs, de février à août 1963. Il s’agit également d’actions mises en place par le CICR afin d’accéder aux prisonniers français aux mains du FLN. Ce travail aborde également, dans une moindre mesure, diverses actions d’aide humanitaire en direction des populations réfugiées au Maroc ou en Tunisie et des personnes déplacées puis reléguées par l’armée française dans des camps de regroupement. / This thesis examines the missions of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) during the Algerian War and its aftermath. The ICRC intervenes both in wars between states and in non-international armed conflicts, in an attempt to ensure the respect of humanitarian rules. During the “events” in Algeria, mass arrests of members and militants of the FLN (Algerian National Liberation Front) led to overcrowding in the prisons and was a factor in the establishment of internment camps. Immediately after independence, thousands of Muslim auxiliaries in the French army were interned in camps; many were subsequently imprisoned. This study looks at the main initiatives taken by the ICRC to ensure that the rules of humanitarian law were applied to the people involved during the seven and a half year of guerrilla warfare and after Algeria’s independence. It focuses on prisons and internment camps in which its delegates inspected material conditions and the treatment and discipline applied to nationalists and, later, to Europeans known to be pro French Algeria, who were arrested from the beginning of 1961, and former auxiliaries, interned between February and August 1963. It also examines initiatives taken by the ICRC to gain access to French prisoners in the hands of the FLN and, to a lesser degree, various humanitarian actions to help refugees in Morocco and Tunisia as well as people forcibly displaced by the French army and grouped together in camps.
