Concentration Camps on the Home Front by John Howard
Without trial and without due process, the United States government locked up nearly all of those citizens and longtime residents who were of Japanese descent during World War II. This title presents an account of the inmates' experiences and an examination of American imperialism and racist hysteria.
"The great strength of John Howard's book is that he not only asks new questions about the familiar story of the camps, but also that he has done a great deal of original research in material that has been largely unexploitedThis is not a standard kind of camp history but something else - more imaginative but deeply rooted in the sources created by administrators and inmates. This is an important book, often gripping, and sure to be controversial." - Roger Daniels, author of Prisoners Without Trial: Japanese Americans and World War II"
John Howard is professor in and head of the Department of American Studies at King's College London and the author of Men Like That: A Southern Queer History, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
