Title: Concentration camps on the home front
First published: 2008
Description: Without trial and without due process, the US government locked up nearly all those citizens and longtime residents who were of Japanese descent during World War II. Almost 20,000 of them were shipped to two concentration camps in the segregated South - locations that put them right at the heart of a much older system of racist oppression.
