How is Papa emasculated through Farewell To Manzanar? Give examples.Emasculate as in, taking away of one's manhood.

I think that one of the most profound elements of the
narrative is to show how the effects of internment change any individual.  The forced
removal and movement of a group of people at the hands of a government has a tendency to
emasculate all of the males of that social group because they are no longer in a
position of control.  Prior to the internment, Papa was the head of the household and
responsible for its direction.  Yet, with the internment, his own imprisonment, the
government had effectively taken over his family and, by extension, his own role for
determining the family's direction or purpose.  This change is something that the young
child notices in her father upon his return:  "The narrator explains that her father was
returned to the family at Manzanar but that he returned a different man—ill-tempered,
alcoholic, and abusive."  The emasculation that he experiences is one where he can only
lash out at his family.  Temporary displays of anger and intensity are the only ways he
can assert his own voice because of his own lack of power and his sense of being
completely without autonomy over his own situation and predicament.  It is precisely
because he is abusive, succumbing to alcohol, and unable to control his emotions that
the reader knows that the government has figuratively emasculated him.  These are the
only expressions in his state of being that he knows, reflective of the complete
disarray into which his life has been rendered.
