Only What We Could Carry: The Japanese American Internment Experience

by Lawson Fusao Inada

Only What We Could Carry: The Japanese American Internment Experience Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Surprising in both its emotional and intellectual range, Only What We Could Carry brings us intimate voices that express not only fear and anger, but humor, compassion, and self-doubt. Family photographs and original works of art add a visual record of life before and within the camps. Posters, political cartoons, and other memorabilia reflect the climate outside the internment camp gates.

Book News Annotation:

This collection of reminiscences, letters, stories, poems, graphic art, and propaganda expresses the fear, confusion and anger of the Japanese-American experience in internment camps during World War II. Also included are stories of those outside the camps, whose lives were interwoven with those of the internees. Appendixes include historical documents, a chronology, information on assembly centers and internment camps, and a glossary of Japanese words, U.S. military terms, and slang from the period.
