Two generations of writers have struggled to recover and present stories of the Japanese American incarceration; their work in history and in fiction has been at the core of the movement for redress. A panel of distinguished novelists and historians of the incarceration experience share their work, discuss their sources for materials, and address questions of how they used or interpreted these materials. Join us for an exploration of how writing has shaped and continues to reshape a country’s understanding of its historical experiences.
