Sixty years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the mass incarceration of over 110,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of them American citizens, the question "could this happen again?" remains unresolved. For the writers represented in this volume - novelists, memoirists, poets, activists, professors, students, professionals - the wartime internment is a central and as yet unclosed chapter of American history. Former internees and their children join with others to offer a cross generational and compelling story, told in part by some of the people who lived it, that continues to tarnish the American Dream.
