"Unflinchingly illustrates the reality of life during this extraordinary moment in American history."—Dinitia Smith, The New York Times Censored by the U.S. Army, Dorothea Lange's unseen photographs are the extraordinary photographic record of the Japanese American internment saga. This indelible work of visual and social history confirms Dorothea Lange's stature as one of the twentieth century's greatest American photographers. Presenting 119 images originally censored by the U.S. Army—the majority of which have never been published—Impounded evokes the horror of a community uprooted in the early 1940s and the stark reality of the internment camps. With poignancy and sage insight, nationally known historians Linda Gordon and Gary Okihiro illuminate the saga of Japanese American internment: from life before Executive Order 9066 to the abrupt roundups and the marginal existence in the bleak, sandswept camps. In the tradition of Roman Vishniac's A Vanished World, Impounded, with the immediacy of its photographs, tells the story of the thousands of lives unalterably shattered by racial hatred brought on by the passions of war. A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2006.

Another hilarious collection of irreverent bumper stickers. Bumper stickers are the ultimate proclamations of someone's opinion, aired in a place where many can see it but few can comment back on it. In this collection of bumper stickers-so provocative that it's suggested they be put on other people's cars-there are such doozies as "This Car is Condemned-U.S. Dept. of Trash," the classic "WASH ME," or "CRIME SCENE!" and "Who Knew Trash Cans Came With Powering Steering." The book is formatted so that the stickers can be easily removed, and reusable again and again
