A Japanese American newspaper chronicles the ‘searing’ history of immigrant incarceration

Eiichiro Azuma of the School of Arts and Sciences wrote about the experiences of Japanese Americans incarcerated in U.S. internment camps in the 1940s. The publisher of The Rafu Shimpo, a bilingual newspaper, “hid the rotary press, Japanese printing type, and other equipment under his building floorboards with an intention that he would come back to Los Angeles to resume the newspaper operation.”
