Eric L. Muller is George R. Ward Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is author of Free to Die for Their Country: The Story of Japanese American Draft Resisters in World War II.
Eric Muller's Colors of Confinement skillfully presents a
multifaceted montage, integrating the insights of an historian, an
expert on photography, and a former prisoner of Heart Mountain. The
contributors demonstrate that Kodachrome images of Japanese
American incarceration can offer a deeper understanding of the WRA
camps, even as they raise troubling questions about memory,
representation, and meaning.--Lane Ryo Hirabayashi, University of
California, Los Angeles
|""The color photographs of Bill Manbo are at once beautiful,
poignant, and stinging with irony. Young girls in vibrantly
colorful kimonos dancing in front of black tarpaper barracks, a
teenager in full Boy Scout uniform lifting the stars and stripes up
high in a U.S. concentration camp--these are pictures of resilience
and fortitude from a dark chapter of American history.""--George
Takei|""I was imprisoned at Heart Mountain when I was twelve, so my
memories of camp life are still vivid. Colors of Confinement brings
back these memories in living color and gives them new life. It was
almost scary to be able to relive the experience while reading this
book.""--Norman Mineta
