In Double Victory, a broad spectrum of American voices emerge to illustrate
the various struggles and victories fought during wartime: a Japanese-American at an internment camp;
a Native American code breaker using the Navajo language for the first time; a Mexican-American woman,
"Rosarita, the riveter," who was able to work a job during wartime other than as a housecleaner or a maid.
Takaki also considers the racial biases that influenced important American government actions during the
war, like the bombing of Hiroshima and the refusal to admit Jews into the U.S. Double Victory clearly
demonstrates that World War II helped to transform American society and advance the cause of multiculturalism
throughout the country.
