The Journey: Japanese Americans, Racism, and Renewal

Sheila Hamanaka, 1990

This is a book geared for children, consisting of drawings with some text explaining about the internment process. The information included is condensed and quite good. A rather scary painting of the Manzanar riot shooting is included in the book.

The book covers the events before, during and after the internment program right on through the program of redress. The pictures are interesting, allowing an emotional content to be added to the images that can't really be added in regular photographs.

A good book that parents could use to discuss with younger children what happened during the internment camp program.
