4. From the reading in Takaki this week you have had an introduction to the history ofJapanese and Japanese American internment. Now visit The Densho Project (Links to an external site.) and browse through its contents. Before you leave the site, please visit the Archive section (Links to an external site.) and listen to or view at least two of the interviews and personal histories recorded there. Understand that those being interviewed are relating their experiences in the camps and each individual's memory of the event may not fit into your understanding of Japanese-American incarceration.
