Description
Lillian Baker discusses her disappointment in a lack of publishers for her book disputing the narrative of Japanese American incarceration and her disgust with the use of the term "concentration camp" in reference to Japanese American incarceration camps in a copy of a letter to her supporters.
The Japanese American Relocation Collection is composed of ephemera related to the relocation program during World War II. Items include the official government report of Manzanar Relocation Center, a photo album, post-war activism materials related to preserving and remembering the camps, various clippings, and documents. The strength of this collection is found in its many perspectives on the controversial relocation program and how it has been presented since World War II.
