Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War II had little say in the food they ate or crops they cultivated. Join Dr. Paula Fujiwara and the Arizona Historical Society on May 10, 2023 as she explores the relationship of food and power among imprisoned Americans of Japanese ancestry, with some details on the two incarceration camps in Arizona – Gila River and Poston. She will discuss three intertwined themes: the relationship of the inmates with War Relocation Authority staff, the shift in family dynamics vis-a-vis meals and the tensions among the Japanese Americans themselves.

Paula Fujiwara, MD, MPH, has had a celebrated medical career working closely on tuberculosis issues across the country and the world. She also is a descendant of Japanese Americans imprisoned at the Tule Lake concentration camp in California.
