Others among these short essays touch on aspects of Guthrie's work scarcely considered before? Celeste Rivers's look at his apparent allegiance to novels by Frank Bird Linderman, for instance,and Fred Erisman's examination of Guthrie's firstnovel,Murders atMoon Dance. James V. D'Arc's piece on Guthrie in Hollywood is freshand graced with delicious trivia. Who knew thatHoward Hawks considered Marlon Brando toplay themovie's Boone Caudill? This collection is a fine tribute,asmuch as anythingbecause of itscriticaledge.Another late and lamentedmaster,Wallace Stegner,has come perilously close to being cursed with a kind of filiopiety.These writers have givenGuthrie, one of the West's truestvoices, the respect of both a tough and a loving retrospective. Confinement and Ethnicity:An Overview of World War II Japanese American Relocation Sites By Jeffrey F. Burton, Mary M. Farrell, Florence B. Lord, and Richard W. Lord University ofWashington Press, Seattle, 2002. Illustrations, maps, tables, bibliography. 472 pages. $27.50 paper. Reviewed by Gail Lee Dubrow University of Washington, Seattle With the publication of Confinement and Ethnicity,theUniversity of Washington Press has issued a correctededition ofan extraor dinarily popular National Park Service study documenting the sitesof internmentofpersons of Japaneseancestryduring World War II.Origi nally intended to assess themerit of extant re sources for listing as National Historic Land marks, thiswork has found a wider audience, including survivorsof internmentaswell as their descendents and allieswho are concerned with preserving these "sites of shame" toprevent the futureabrogation of civil liberties. A welcome addition to thegrowing literature about the internment,thisstudyisnotable forits focus on surviving architectural remnants, ar chaeological remains,and artifacts foundatplaces such as assembly centers, relocation centers, and internmentcamps thatconfinedpersons of Japa nese ancestryduringWorld War II.Richly illus trated withmaps, photographs, charts,and tables, Confinementand Ethnicityprovides readerswith a broad overviewof theconfinementfacilities and paints a clear picture ofhistoric and contempo raryconditions at the sitesof relocation.Unfor tunately,theprocess used inreprintingthisstudy has reduced thephotographs' legibility, but this limitation isoffsetby thevalue of bringing this work to awider audience. The new forewordbyTetsuden Kashima ably frames the intellectualcontext forthe study, not ing itscontributions to existing scholarship in terms of the richness of visual documentation and thebalance itstrikesindocumenting facili ties specifiedby thegovernment such aswatch towers, barbed-wire fences, and tar paper bar racks along with inmate-constructed amenities such as gardens, ponds, and pools, designed to "maintain a sense of selfhood" in the context of an otherwise demoralizing experience (p. xi).

While public awareness of the intermenthas grown inrecentyears,due toa new body ofwork supported by theCivil LibertiesPublic Education Fund, todate little has been thought to remain at thesites ofconfinementsuchas Manzanar and Min idoka.The siteof the Minidoka Relocation Cen ter in JeromeCounty, Idaho, is strikingbecause of itsremote location aswell as itsapparent bar renness. Once occupied byover sixhundred build ings,today thesite is marked by only a few major features,including theguardhouse at theentry,a root cellar, and relocated staff quarters. The ar chaeological perspective thatinforms Confinement andEthnicity, however, illuminatesthe wide range of surviving resources that elude theuntrained eye, from landscape features such as canals and gardens to concrete slabs that supported build ingsand pathwayswinding throughout the site. Whether studiedby thearmchair touristor used as a guide by actualvisitors,the work revealssubtle clues inthe landscape thattestify to thepast pres ence of confinementfacilities. The book provides a useful introduction to sitesassociated with the internmentofpeople of Japanese descent. Unlike many community ef fortsthathave focused on theparticular camps where the authors were confined, this work of fersan evenhanded treatmentof theentire setof resources associated with this theme, allowing readers to understand the scope and extent of the U.S. government's removal and incarcera tion program. The gradual erosion of the integrity of these resources since theend of World War II reflectsa kind of cultural amnesia about the internment from which we are only now awakening. Fortu nately, the activities of the redress...
