Impounded: Dorothea Lange and the Censored Images of Japanese American Internment

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 United States 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. Colin Westerbeck, distinguished curator of photography and Los Angeles Times West magazine contributing writer, moderates a conversation with authors Linda Gordon and Gary Y. Okihiro, to shed light on the experiences of thousands whose lives were unalterably shattered by racial hatred brought on by war. Book signing and dessert reception to follow. Reservations recommended.

This book is available at the Museum Store. Call 888.769.5559 to place an order.
