Japanese Internment Camps in America
Fiction and nonfiction list. History sure does rhyme. If you have recs for this list, let me know!! Specifically, I'm looking for more adult nonfiction published in the last 10 years, but I'll take anything! Please don't comment that you "didn't learn about this in school", it is not my problem.

The Great American Novel
This is the list from The Atlantic. "In 1868, a little-known writer by the name of John William DeForest proposed a new type of literature, a collective artistic project for a nation just emerging from an existential conflict: a work of fiction that accomplished “the task of painting the American soul.” It would be called the Great American Novel, and no one had written it yet, DeForest admitted. Maybe soon."
