Description
The photograph depicts Aliens at Sharp Camp, California following the evacuation order for people of Japanese ancestry. The camp seen in the photograph was set up to serve as a detention centre were people were given hearings. The Japanese people would then remain here for a small time being sent to either a relocation center or to an internment camp. “Aliens” refers to Japanese people or the family specifically; this shows the stigma associated with the people contained in the photograph.
