from The Pacific Heart · host Ravi Chandra
Dr. Satsuki Ina was born in the Tule Lake Segregation, a maximum security American concentration camp during WWII. She says she was born "doing time." She has dedicated her career to understanding and healing the effects of this collective and historical trauma on Japanese Americans. She is a co-organizer of Tsuru for Solidarity (https://tsuruforsolidarity.org and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TsuruForSolidarity), which is working to end detention sites and to support front-line immigrant and refugee communities that are being targeted by racist, inhumane immigration policies. The vulnerable people in detention sites are likely to be heavily affected by coronavirus, and Dr. Ina also reflects on how infectious disease affected incarcerated Japanese Americans. She was interviewed by Dr. Ravi Chandra (https://ravichandramd.com) by Skype on March 25, 2020. (Photo credit: Kiyoshi Ina.)
