The Japanese American Internment Experience

Edited with an introduction by Lawson Fusao Inada; preface by Patricia Wakida; Afterword by William Hohri

Shortly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, more than 100,000 Japanese Americans were uprooted from their homes and communities and banished to remote internment camps. This collection of haunting reminiscences, letters, stories, poems, and graphic art gives voice to the range of powerful emotions with which these victims of wartime hysteria struggled. Included are stories of those outside the camps, whose lives were interwoven with those of the internees.
