Summary:
"In the devastating aftermath of December 7, 1941, with America reeling from imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, political leaders and media outlets throughout the country turned their anger inward, branding all Americans of
Japanese
ancestry as dangerous potential spies and saboteurs. Government, military, and journalistic spokesmen ratcheted up a racist fever against
Japanese
Americans." "
Dorothea
Lange
(1895-1965), the noted documentary photographer, was one of a handful of white people impelled to speak out. Already a prominent photographer in the employ of the WPA, she was hired by the U.S. War Relocation Authority to photograph the process of the imprisonment of 110,000
Japanese
Americans. Once she had secured her role as witness, she devoted herself to the project, working seven days a week throughout the first half of 1942." "
Impounded
tells the historic story of
internment
from the perspective of the internees. There were no charges or even allegations of disloyalty to the United States against the internees, of whom two-thirds were
American
citizens. Nevertheless they were detained without trial or even hearings, incarcerated in desolate locations, and housed in rough, cramped barracks surrounded by barbed wire."--BOOK JACKET.
