Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The definitive anthology of Japanese American internment.
"In these stories are lifted up our humanity, our indomitable spirit and dignity, an implacable quest for justice"-- Janice Mirikitani
Shortly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States government uprooted 120,000 people of Japanese descent from their homes and banished them to remote internment camps. This collection of reminiscences, stories, poems, photographs, and graphic art expresses the range of powerful and sometimes conflicting emotions that arose from the internment experience. Also included are propaganda, government documents, and stories of those outside the camps whose lives were interwoven with those of the internees.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 431-436).
