“Unflinchingly illustrates the truth of life throughout this odd moment in American history.”―Dinitia Smith, The New York Times

Censored by the U.S. Army, Dorothea Lange’s unseen photographs are the odd 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 most twentieth century’s greatest American photographers. Presenting 119 images initially censored by the U.S. Army―the vast majority of which have never been published―Impounded evokes the horror of a community uprooted Within the early 1940s and the stark reality of the internment camps. With poignancy and sage insight, nationally known historians Linda Gordon and Gary Okihiro light up the saga of Japanese American internment: from life before Executive Order 9066 to the abrupt roundups and the marginal existence Within the bleak, sandswept camps. Within the tradition of Roman Vishniac’s A Vanished World, Impounded, with the immediacy of its photographs, tells the tale of the thousands of lives unalterably shattered by racial hatred brought on by the passions of war. A San Francisco Chronicle Easiest Book of 2006. 104 black-and-white photographs
