Description
Publisher's Description of Japanese American Internment: Prisoners in their Own Land (Tangled History)
Vivid storytelling brings World War II history to life and place readers in the shoes of the people who experienced the United States' Japanese internment camps. On the heels of Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066. Through this order, more than 110,000 people of Japanese descent, many of them U.S. citizens, were forced to relocate to military camps for the duration of the war. Suspenseful, dramatic events unfold in chronological, interwoven stories from the different perspectives of people who experienced these events while they were happening. Narratives intertwine to create a breathless, "What's Next?" kind of read. Students gain a new perspective on historical figures as they learn about real people struggling to decide how best to act in a given moment.
Category Description for Tangled History Series
These simple books tell the stories of American tragedies through the perspectives of those who witnessed them. This format keeps the stories factual and interesting. Each person's account is broken up into smaller pieces and the book hops from perspective to perspective while following the timeline, allowing readers to "see" the event from several angles. It has a historical fiction feel that keeps readers captivated, but without adding in characters that weren't actually there. The language is fairly simple and accompanied by photographs, making these stories accessible to younger students. I really enjoyed reading these, and I'm sure your student will too. 112 softcover pages each. - Laura
