Years of Infamy: The Untold Story of America's Concentration Camps

by Michi Weglyn

Years of Infamy: The Untold Story of America's Concentration Camps Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the early part of World War II, 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry were interned in relocation centers. Manzanar, the first of ten such concentration camps, was bounded by barbed wire and guard towers, confining 10,000 persons, the majority being American citizens. May the injustices and humiliation suffered here as a result of hysteria, racism and economic exploitation never emerge again.

Book News Annotation:

A Japanese-American survivor of American internment camps during WWII chronicles the attitudes, events, and key figures involved in the creation of the camps, and describes everyday life in the camps, and riots and resistance. Includes numerous documents and b&w photos. First published in 1976, this edition contains additional documents such as transcripts of conversations and memos, and supplementary information on legal victories and bibliographic material.
