Specifikacia That Damned Fence: The Literature of the Japanese American Prison Camps Hathaway Heather
Until the late twentieth century, relatively few Americans knew that the United States government forcibly detained nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. At war's end, the nation, including many of those who were confined to the ten Relocation Centers--which PresidentRoosevelt initially referred to as concentration camps--wished to wipe this national tragedy from memory.That Damned Fence, titled after a poem written by a Japanese American held at the Minidoka camp in Idaho, draws on the creative work of the internees themselves to cast new light on this historical injustice. While in captivity, detainees produced moving poetry and fiction, compelling investigative journalism, and lasting work of arts to make sense of their hardships and to leave a record of their emotional and psychological suffering.Heather Hathaway explores the experiences of
