History, Not Precedent: America’s Internment Camps (2017)

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / History, Not Precedent: America’s Internment Camps (2017)
Published: February 5, 2017 by VPR Producer

Japanese internment camps are something we’re aware of, but may not fully understand. Photo historian and author Richard Cahan talks about the history of the camps, what makes them so “un-American,” and why he says we shouldn’t look back at the camps as precedent or a blueprint, but as a black eye we should avoid repeating at all costs.


Guest Information:

  • Richard Cahan, photo historian, former Chicago Sun-Times editor, and author of Un-American: The Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II
