About This Item
Bishop, California: Spotted Dog Press, Inc, 2002. Hardcover. Near fine/Very good. Inscribed on the title page by Sue Kunitomi Embrey, who contributed an introduction to this work. An influential Japanese-American activist from her youth in the Little Tokyo section of Los Angeles to her grim experiences at Manzanar and her postwar struggle to raise awareness of the internment camps, Embrey (1923-2006) played a major role in bringing this dark chapter of American history into the light of congressional acknowledgement and a presidential apology. A new and expanded edition of the book first published by U.S. Camera in 1944 with photographs and text by Ansel Adams. Includes an introduction by Archie Miyatake, the son of photographer and Manzanar internee Toyo Miyatake, who collaborated with Adams on the collaborative exhibit Two Views of Manzanar after the war. Also features contributions by Sue Kunitomi Embrey and William H. Michael. Edited by Wynne Benti. Quarto: 128 p. with numerous photographic illustrations. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt titles. A near fine copy in a pictorial dust jacket with some minor rubbing.
