"This sorry episode has been illuminated in books and documentaries. But I've never felt its emotional texture―the unexpected mix of dereliction and upstanding hopefulness―so vividly as in this set of photographs taken by Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange and five others, among them an artist incarcerated at Manzanar." –Pico Iyer
In the weeks following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, American suspicion and distrust of its Japanese American population became widespread. The US government soon ordered all Japanese Americans (two thirds of them American citizens) living on the West Coast to report to assembly centers for eventual transfer to internment camps, openly referred to by the New York Times as "concentration camps." Within a few months of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066; soon after, the War Relocation Authority (WRA) was established and by the end of March, the first of 10,000 Japanese evacuees arrived in Manzanar, an internment camp in the Owens Valley desert at the foot of the Sierras. Families were given one to two weeks' notice and were allowed to pack only what they could carry. Businesses were shuttered and farms and equipment were sold at bargain prices. Upon arrival at Manzanar, each person was assigned to a barrack, given a cot, blankets and a canvas bag to be filled with straw in order to create their own mattresses.
Dorothea Lange was hired by the WRA to photograph the mass evacuation; she worked into the first months of the internment until she was fired by WRA staff for her "sympathetic" approach. Many of her photographs were seized by the government and largely unseen by the public for a half century. More than a year later, Manzanar Project Director Ralph Merritt hired Ansel Adams to document life at the camp. Lange and Adams were also joined by WRA photographers Russell Lee, Clem Albers and Francis Stewart. Two Japanese internees, Toyo Miyatake and Jack Iwata, secretly photographed life within the camp with a smuggled camera.
Gathered together in this volume, these images express the dignity and determination of the Japanese Americans in the face of injustice and humiliation. Today the tragic circumstances surrounding displaced and detained people around the world only strengthen the impact of these photos taken 75 years ago.
“这一令人遗憾的插曲已经在书籍和纪录片中被阐明。但是我从来没有感受到它的情感结构——这种意想不到的被忽视和充满希望的混合——像安塞尔·亚当斯和多萝西娅·兰格以及其他五个人拍摄的这组照片那样生动，其中有一位被监禁在曼萨纳尔的艺术家。”皮柯·耶尔
在1941年12月7日珍珠港事件后的几周里，美国人对日裔美国人的怀疑和不信任变得普遍。美国政府很快命令所有居住在西海岸的日裔美国人(其中三分之二是美国公民)向集结中心报到，以便最终转移到拘留营，纽约时报公开称之为“集中营”。珍珠港事件后的几个月内，富兰克林·罗斯福总统签署了第9066号行政命令；不久之后，战争安置局(WRA)成立，到3月底，第一批10，000名日本撤离者抵达Manzanar，这是一个位于Sierras山脚下Owens Valley沙漠中的拘留营。每个家庭都会接到一到两周的通知，并且只允许带他们能带的东西。企业被关闭，农场和设备被廉价出售。到达Manzanar后，每个人都被分配到一个营房，有一张帆布床、毛毯和一个装满稻草的帆布袋，以便制作自己的床垫。
多萝西娅·兰格受雇于WRA，拍摄大规模疏散；她在拘留的头几个月一直工作，直到被WRA的工作人员解雇，原因是她的“同情”态度。她的许多照片被政府没收，在长达半个世纪的时间里，公众基本上看不到这些照片。一年多后，曼萨纳尔项目主管拉尔夫·梅里特雇佣安塞尔·亚当斯记录集中营的生活。WRA的摄影师拉塞尔·李、克莱姆·艾伯斯和弗朗西斯·斯图尔特也加入了兰格和亚当斯的行列。两名日本被拘留者，东洋宫武和杰克岩田，用走私的相机秘密拍摄了集中营里的生活。
在这本书中，这些照片表达了日裔美国人在面对不公正和屈辱时的尊严和决心。今天，世界各地流离失所者和被拘留者的悲惨境遇只会加强75年前拍摄的这些照片的影响。
