Omschrijving

Racism and xenophobia have long challenged democracy, a battle played out dramatically in the concentration camps built, staffed, and filled with adults and children under the orders of the U.S. Government. The camps first appeared in the nineteenth century with the imprisonment of Native Americans, then returned during World War II with the roundup of Japanese Americans (most of them citizens of the United States), German Americans, Italian Americans, and Jews fleeing the cruelty and death camps associated with Nazi Germany.

The issue resurfaced during the George Bush administration with the construction of twenty-two new concentration camps and secret plans to build up to 800 additional facilities. And the policy continued during the Donald Trump administration which has imprisoned tens of thousands of Hispanic refugees fleeing persecution in their homelands. Especially heinous has been the Trump Administration's willingness to imprison thousands of children in horrendous conditions in which the children are often deprived of humane living conditions, receiving inadequate food and water, crowded living conditions, and substandard medical treatment. American families treating their children in this manner would quickly find themselves in prison.

Inside America's Concentration Camps explores the history and tragedy of the camps in a vivid narrative that brings the victims' stories to life and the flaws of our government in focus. Based on interviews and extensive research, the book is an investigative history that exposes the erosion of democracy in America and calls upon ordinary Americans to take their country back to its glory days as a fearless defender of individual freedom.
