:: It makes me want to hit people over the head with a shovel, the way white supremacy works. ::
Very much so.
Thanks for the review and the history lesson. I don't know much about the individual camps as distinct-from-each-other places, and the conjunction of Poston and the Colorado River Reservation is worth looking into more.
...Oh, crap. And while I was looking around for more information about Poston... Did you know that the U.S. also interred the Aleuts during WWII? (Clicking is not recommended if you're still in shoot-strangle-disavow space.) And the book review which alerted me to this had the temerity to note that "lest all the blame for the Aleut tragedy be laid at the doorstep of the American government," that the death rate was higher in the single Aleut village interred by the Japanese.
As if it frackin' matters who was eviller. Can I borrow your shovel, please?
