Abstract

Sites of WWII Japanese Internment create a complex landscape of confinement that spreads across the United States with 13 sites concentrated in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. This paper provides a brief overview of the history of incarceration focusing on the sites found in the four corners region. While sites may share some artifacts and feature types each tells a unique portion of the larger narrative of unjust confinement and details the lived experience of detainees.

Trece de estos sitios se concentran en los estados de Arizona, Nuevo México, Utah y Colorado. Este documento proporciona una breve descripción de la historia del encarcelamiento, centrándose en los sitios que se encuentran en la región de las Cuatro Esquinas. Si bien los sitios pueden compartir algunos artefactos y tipos de características, cada uno cuenta una porción única de la narrativa más amplia de confinamiento injusto y detalla la experiencia vivida de los detenidos.
