of which was at Poston, Arizona. Qualified inmates were hired in 1942 to carry
out anthropological research studying the effects of mass incarceration on their
fellows. The limply titled The Politics of Fieldwork by Lane Ryo
Hirabayashi follows the studies of a young researcher, the only woman in the
team, faced with unique pressures. Interesting light on an all-but-forgotten
facet of the Second World War. Published by the University of Arizona Press,
$35, ISBN 0816518645.
