Tragedy of Democracy - Japanese Confinement in North America

Japanese Confinement in North America. Greg Robinson reveals the extent of the American government's surveillance of Japanese communities in the years leading up to World War II and the construction of what officials termed 'concentration camps' for enemy aliens. He also considers the place of Japanese Americans in civil rights struggles and the movement for redress, and the role of the camps as touchstones for commemoration and debate.
