Description
"Legendary photographers Dorothea Lange, Toyo Miyatake, and Ansel Adams all photographed the Japanese American incarceration, but with different approaches--and different results. This nonfiction picture book for middle grade readers examines the Japanese-American incarceration--and the complexity of documenting it--through the work of these three photographers."--
