Censored by the U.S. Army, Dorothea Lange's unseen photographs are
the extraordinary photographic record of the Japanese American
internment saga. This indelible work of visual and social history
confirms Dorothea Lange's stature as one of the twentieth century's
greatest American photographers. Presenting 119 images originally
censored by the U.S. Army—the majority of which have never been
published—Impounded evokes the horror of a community uprooted in
the early 1940s and the stark reality of the internment camps. With
poignancy and sage insight, nationally known historians Linda
Gordon and Gary Okihiro illuminate the saga of Japanese American
internment: from life before Executive Order 9066 to the abrupt
roundups and the marginal existence in the bleak, sandswept camps.
In the tradition of Roman Vishniac's A Vanished World, Impounded,
with the immediacy of its photographs, tells the story of the
thousands of lives unalterably shattered by racial hatred brought
on by the passions of war. A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of
2006.
