Summary

"Only months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, more than 450 barracks were built in a remote area in Wyoming to house approximately 11,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry considered to be the enemy. Several years later, these same buildings were used as shelter for veterans-turned-homesteaders who received them from the U.S. government for only a dollar apiece. Moving Walls brings together two tales of struggle and resilience: the confinement of a people based soley on race and the settling of the American frontier by modern pioneers who used them to survive. It was an American nightmare that turned into the American dream."--Container
