In 1942, Bill Manbo and his family were forced from their Hollywood
home into the Japanese American internment camp at Heart Mountain
in Wyoming. While there, Manbo documented both the bleakness and
beauty of his surroundings, using Kodachrome film, a technology
then just seven years old, to capture community celebrations and to
record his family's struggle to maintain a normal life under the
harsh conditions of racial imprisonment. Colors of Confinement
showcases sixty-five stunning images from this extremely rare
collection of color photographs, presented along with three
interpretive essays by leading scholars and a reflective, personal
essay by a former Heart Mountain internee. The subjects of these
haunting photos are the routine fare of an amateur photographer:
parades, cultural events, people at play, Manbo's son. But the
images are set against the backdrop of the barbed-wire enclosure
surrounding the Heart Mountain Relocation Center and the dramatic
expanse of Wyoming sky and landscape. The accompanying essays
illuminate these scenes as they trace a tumultuous history
unfolding just beyond the camera's lens, giving readers insight
into Japanese American cultural life and the stark realities of
life in the camps.
