More DescriptionThis book was published to accompany an exhibit by the same name, by the renowned new media artist Masaki Fujihata, at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. Opening on May 7, 2022, the exhibit marked the passage of eighty years since people of Japanese descent all along the west coast of the United States were forced to give up their homes, belongings, and communities, then get on buses and trains that would take them to concentration camps. Less a catalog of the exhibit than an extended annotation, the book contains a variety of materials ranging from essays in the modes of history and art criticism to historical photographs, images from the exhibit, and a powerful work of fiction. Contributors include Masaki Fujihata, Anne-Marie Duguet, Brian Niiya and Karen Umemoto, Clement Hanami, Erkki Huhtamo, and Karen Tei Yamashita.
