Receipt Spine

  • DPLA and LOC show postwar migration grew dramatically and included men, women, and families.
  • The mainland move was legally internal migration after U.S. citizenship, but culturally still meant leaving a distinct homeland.
  • Rutgers PRAC frames the Migration Division around jobs, housing, welfare, language, labor rights, and cultural coherence.
  • The women-specific scholarship trail pushes back against flat narratives of passive background figures.
