Dorothea Lange photographs the Japanese American internment / Linda Gordon -- An American story / Gary Y. Okihiro -- Photographs. Before the evacuation ; The roundup ; At the assembly centers ; Manzanar -- Acknowledgments.
Censored by the U.S. Army, Dorothea Lange's unseen photographs are the photographic record of the Japanese American internment saga. This indelible work of visual and social history confirms Dorothea Lange's stature as one of the twentieth century's greatest American photographers. Presenting 119 images--the majority of which have never been published--this book evokes the horror of a community uprooted in the early 1940s and the stark reality of the internment camps. Nationally known historians Linda Gordon and Gary Okihiro narrate the saga of Japanese American internment: from life before Executive Order 9066 to the abrupt roundups and the marginal existence in the bleak, sandswept camps.-- From publisher's description.
