Beyond Words: Images from America's Concentration Camps

This 1987 book is quite different from other works dealing with the internment of Japanese Americans. This book is a collection of paintings and sketches done by some of the internees along with short sections of personal recollections, making this a very intimate examination of life in the camps.

There is also historical material in the book to put the recollections in context. It's quite a different type of approach and the book is quite good, especially the personal recollections of the inmates.
