Elusive Truth: Four Photographers at Manzanar

Rating:
Summary: An unvarnished, candid, accurate portrayal
Review: Compiled by Gerald H. Robinson, Elusive Truth: Four Photographers At Manzanar is a strikingly impressive collection of historical photographs taken of the Manzanar relocation camp, one of several set up by the United States government in 1942 when it forcibly imprisoned a population of 110,000 Japanese-Americans citizens and Japanese residents for three years. The poignant text combines with meaningful images of daily life as it features the photographic talents of Ansel Adams, Clem Albers, Dorothea Lange, and Toyo Miyatake, and presents an unvarnished, candid, accurate portrayal. Highly recommended.
