When Rocky Rhodes is told in Marianne Wiggins’s book Properties of Thirst that the US government is moving 10,000 persons of Japanese ancestry from their west coast homes to an area known as Manzanar next to his property in the shadows of the Sierra Nevadas in 1942, he immediately recognizes this "camp" to be what it really is -- a prison for American citizens and legal immigrants who happened to share the ancestry of the enemy country that bombed Pearl Harbor. For this “One City, One Story” selection for 2024, Susan provides behind-the-scenes context for the Manzanar detention facility, its inhabitants, its relationship with the surrounding landscape and community, and its legacy today.
