      abstract = {Just seventy-five years ago, the American government did  something that most would consider unthinkable today: it  rounded up over 100,000 of its own citizens based on  nothing more than their ancestry and, suspicious of their  loyalty, kept them in concentration camps for the better  part of four years. How could this have happened? Uprooted  takes a close look at the history of racism in America and  follows the treacherous path that led one of our nation's  most beloved presidents to make this decision. Meanwhile,  it illuminates the history of Japan and its own struggles  with racism and xenophobia, which led to the bombing of  Pearl Harbor, ultimately tying the two countries together.},
