Book synopsis

Censored by the US Army, Dorothea Lange's unseen photographs are the extraordinary photographic record of the Japanese American internment saga.This work of visual and social history confirms Lange's stature as one of the twentieth century's greatest American photographers. "Impounded" evokes the horror of a community uprooted in the early 1940s and the stark reality of the internment camps. Historians Linda Gordon and Gary Okihiro illuminate the story of the Japanese American internment: from life before Executive Order 9066 to the abrupt round-ups and the marginal existence in the bleak, wind-swept camps. "Impounded", with the immediacy of its photographs, tells the story of the thousands of lives shattered by racial hatred brought on by the passions of war.
