Paperback. Condition: New. Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor that drew the United States into World War II, the federal government rounded up more than a hundred thousand people of Japanese descent-both immigrants and native-born citizens-and began one of the most horrific mass-incarceration events in US history. The program tore apart Asian American communities, extracted families from their homes, and destroyed livelihoods as it forced Japanese Americans to various "relocation centers" around the country. Two of these concentration camps-the Jerome and Rohwer War Relocation Centers-operated in Arkansas. This book is a collection of brief memoirs written by former internees of Jerome and Rohwer and their close family members.

However, in the barracks and the fields, the mess halls and the makeshift gathering places, values of perseverance, tolerance, and dignity-the gaman the internees shared-gave significance to a transformative experience that changed forever what it means to call oneself an American.…
