That Damned Fence
That Damned Fence paints a haunting and intimate portrait of the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans. Drawing on fiction, journalism, poetry and art produced by the internees themselves, the book explores how factors such as the camps' physical settings; the class, gender and generational composition of their populations; and the attitudes of camp administrators toward the enterprise shaped the experiences of the detained. In so doing, it reveals the sorry and the humor, the despair and resilience with which Japanese Americans faced the injustice of their wartime incarcerations.- Shop: buecher

Shelter: Notes from a Detained Migrant Children's Facility , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
In this rare account from within ICE detention facilities, 14 children are followed from their arrest by US Border Patrol to the day they exit facilities for unaccompanied minors. Preschoolers and teenagers, the kids offer a range of evocative backstories: A deaf and mute 15-year-old Mayan girl; a teen from India who has walked 3000 miles; a Guatemalan girl who has escaped domestic slavery and is on the run with her young siblings. Each child offers an account of their chaotic journey from Guatemala, India, Honduras, or Mexico, and the situation that drove them to enter the US illegally. We get an intimate view of their long, difficult quest for release to US relatives and a rare, first-hand view of daily life within US detention shelters.The author, a therapist within a major children's detention facility, offers a vivid, and often surprising, first-hand description of daily life within our immigration shelters; the complicated, often heroic efforts of shelter workers; and the processes and politics that decide if a child is deported or allowed to join family. In the epilogue, the author explains that due to Homeland Security restrictions, sharing information about the internal workings of migrant shelters forfeits any future employment. The author believes this to be the principal reason there are no other published accounts from within facilities for unaccompanied minors. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johnny Rey Diaz.

My Family Divided: One Girl's Journey of Home, Loss, and Hope
Before landing a spot on the megahit Netflix show Orange is the New Black; before wow-ing audiences as Lina on Jane the Virgin; and before her incredible activism and work on immigration reform, Diane Guerrero was a young girl living in Boston. One day, while Guerrero was at school, her undocumented immigrant parents were taken from their home, detained, and deported. Guerrero's life, which had been full of the support of a loving family, was turned upside down. Reflective of the experiences of millions of undocumented immigrant families in the United States, Guerrero's story in My Family Divided, written with Erica Moroz, is at once heartbreaking and hopeful.- Shop: buecher
