At the outbreak of World War II, more than 115,000 Japanese
American civilians living on the West Coast of the United States
were rounded up and sent to desolate "relocation" camps, where most
spent the duration of the war. In this poignant and bitter yet
inspiring oral history, John Tateishi allows thirty Japanese
Americans, victims of this trauma, to speak for themselves. "And
Justice for All" captures the personal feelings and experiences of
the only group of American citizens ever to be confined in
concentration camps in the United States. In this new edition of
the book, which was originally published in 1984, an Afterword by
the author brings up to date the lives of those he interviewed.
"At last the silent speak: the Nisei who were concentratedly
camped during World War II. In the overflowing of grievance, so
long muted, the victims themselves tell us what it was really like.
This is the Book of Humiliations as well as Revelations. We have
the long needed reminder, in chapter and verse, of our nation's
most shameful episode."--Studs Terkel
"These moving personal recollections capture the plight of those
who were victims of the most disgraceful episode in American
history--the internment in concentration camps of Americans of
Japanese descent during World War II."--Senator Sam J. Ervin,
Jr.
"Eloquent and poignant, "And Justice for All" brings to life the
tragedy of the Japanese American internment for generations to
come."--Senator Daniel K. Inouye
