註釋
The signing of Executive Order No. 9066 by President Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, set the stage for the unconstitutional removal and wrongful incarceration of American citizens of Japanese descent and their parents and grandparents from the West Coast of the United States. Shortly after the end of World War II there began to appear a trickle of books and articles denouncing the policy of relocation or defending it. Somewhat later a steady flow or writing of another kind began to appear, a great deal of it by those who had been so shabbily treated by their government. These "reports from the camps" take many forms - diaries, reminiscences, short stories, novels, poetry, and graphic art. Any reader will be struck by the depths of anger and humiliation they reveal and the extraordinary resilience of their authors.
