Kazuko Kuramoto’s Manchurian Legacy is the story of a Japanese family of colonists in Manchuria, a region in northeastern China. Japanese emigration to Manchuria started in the early 1900s and intensified throughout the first two decades of the 20th century. In September 1931, the Japanese Imperial Army launched an invasion of Manchuria, occupying the whole region within five months. The following year, on March 9, 1932,  the Japanese announced the creation of Manchukuo, a formally independent nation, but for all intents and purposes, a puppet state that significantly expanded Japan’s colonial holdings in Asia. In her memoir, Kazuko Kuramoto – born in Dalian, Manchuria, in 1927 in a family of Japanese colonists – describes herself as “the product of this almighty Japanese imperialism” (Kuramoto, x). Based on your analysis of Kuramoto’s memoir, how do you interpret Kuramoto’s statement? Specifically, how does Kuramoto’s nature as “a product of Japanese imperialism” manifest in her time in Manchuria? And how does the legacy of Japanese imperialism affect the author’s life after Japan’s defeat in the war and the dissolution of Manchukuo? Please address these questions in an essay of AT LEAST 1,800 words (you are welcome to write more). Please support your answers with at least FOUR significant examples from Kuramoto’s memoir

How should each essay be written?
As you may already know, a piece of written work consists of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Your work for each paper will be graded with a rubric in which you are scored based on the quality of each. You will also be scored based on the accuracy of format, spelling, and grammar.
Students should use a minimum of five sources. At least TWO of these sources should be a primary source.

In addition to the exams, all students will be required to write two three-page term
papers on articles that they must read on their own. You must choose one article to read for
each paper. I want to see three pages or more of writing in each of these papers. The term
papers should be typed and double spaced, using a Times New Roman font of 12. There
should be a title page and one-inch margins should be utilized throughout the paper. Students
will be given a list of articles to choose from that will be posted in the class web page. All of
the articles in the list will be posted as PDF files in the class web page. You should be able
to open each one to look at an article. You must not use other sources to write these
papers. These papers must be submitted as Microsoft Word file attachments in the
Assignments page of the class web page by June 14th and June 21nd. I will not accept any
papers that are sent to me by e-mail. I will not accept any late assignments or extra credit
work. In regard to the term papers, students need to discuss what is the article about, what is
the author trying to argue, and what are your thoughts. I will not accept any late work. Also,
please make sure to use Microsoft Word when you type your papers. If any other word
processing program is utilized, I may not be able to open your file and grade your work.
Unless I indicate otherwise, I take off one point for each error that I see and that includes
grammar, punctuation, spelling, errors in spacing and incorrect margins. I also do not want
to see any quotes or quotations in any paper that is turned in to me. I take off two points for
each quote that I see in a paper. Also, plagiarism will not be tolerated. Anyone committing
this offense will be given an F in their paper. Any paper that you turn in to me must be
written entirely in your own words. Which means that the use of any Artificial Intelligence
(AI) will also not be tolerated.

Instructions
You are required to choose ONE single set of documents from one of the following two following options related to Unit II. There is a link to each of the documents/topics followed by a brief summary of the document/topic to help you decide which one interests you the most to read and analyze.
Document Set #1: Defining Who and What an American Was in the Early 20th Century
Theodore Roosevelt’s True Americanism (1894)
The Klan Fights for Americanism (1926)
As the United States became a global power by the early 1900s, international and domestic forces pressed upon American society to begin attempting to redefine exactly who an American was. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution during the Reconstruction Era had defined citizenship in national terms and presumably applied to all those living in newly acquired territories around the globe. Coupled with the massive waves of European immigration, the nation grappled with incorporating so many people of incredibly diverse backgrounds and extending the associated rights and privileges that came with American citizenship. These two documents express the evolution of concerns that were generated through perceived threats (both real and imagined) to American society and culture and propose solutions to the critical question of who and what an American was in the early 20th century.
Answer the following two questions in an essay with a MINIMUM length of TWO (2) FULL PAGES:
1. What are the major arguments contained within each of these two documents? How do they compare to one another?
2. Are there parallels in their arguments to modern debates within American society? If so, in what specific way(s)?
