"Imprisoned in Paradise: Japanese Internee Road Workers at the World War II Kooskia Internment Camp "by Priscilla Wegars

Come find out about the Kooskia Internment Camp, an obscure and virtually forgotten World War II detention facility that was located in a remote area of north central Idaho. Kooskia held men of Japanese ancestry who were termed "enemy aliens," even though most of them were long-time U.S. residents, denied naturalization by racist U.S. laws.

For more information on the Kooskia Internment Camp and on Imprisoned in Paradise, including links to some reviews and an interview, please visit visit www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/LS/AACC/KOOSKIA.HTM/.
