Uprooted

On the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombing, Albert Marrin’s "Uprooted" provides a profound examination of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. This gripping narrative explores the historical roots of racism in America and the political decisions that led to the internment of over 100,000 citizens based solely on their ancestry. Marrin connects this dark chapter in American history to Japan's struggles with racism and xenophobia, making the themes of personal liberty and racial tension as relevant today as they were then. Celebrated as a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, this impactful work sheds light on a significant injustice and its ongoing implications.
