"From Our Side of the Fence: Growing Up in America's Concentration Camp"
This new publication contains first-person accounts of eleven former inmates who recall their memories of youth in America's concentration camps. The collection of writings is the result of autobiographical writing workshops in which participants traced their personal journey through war, giving voice to history that has been silenced. The anthology, edited by Brian Komei Dempster, was produced by the Japanese Cultural Community Center of Northern California and published by Kearney Street Workshop. Major funding was provided by the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program.
Co-presented with the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center of Northern California
