"Children of Manzanar" edited by Heather C. Lindquist

This program has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This book captures the experiences of the nearly four thousand children and young adults held at Manzanar during World War II. Quotes from these children accompany photographs from both official and unofficial photographers, including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Toyo Miyatake. These photos and remembrances record a barren world of guard towers, barbed wire fences, and tarpapered barracks, while also capturing the remarkable resilience of children, shown skipping rope, doing homework, and growing up. Q&A with editor to follow.
