The Big Picture (Featured Interviews)
WCPT 820 Interview: Andrea Pitzer
Edwin Eisendrath is joined by Andrea Pitzer, journalist and author of One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps.

So if there was a trial," she explained, "it was just a show trial, or a big group, 100 people getting sentenced at once, something like that, done on the basis of race or ethnicity or religion or political party, rather than an actual crime that was committed. And it's almost always done to separate a targeted group from society, to remove them from society, an...

"The use of concentration camps changes the world, but going forward, the most predictable outcome of their use is a world with more camps" Today we use a lot of euphemisms: re-education camps, internment, work camps, prison camps, camps for internally displaced people. But before world war one, these prisons were known simply as concentration camps and they started in Cuba in the 1890s to control an uprising against the Spanish colonizers. Since then, concentration camps have proliferated across t...

Immigrant ‘Concentration Camps’ on the Southern Border?
U.S. immigration policies are very much in the spotlight recently with reports on conditions at some of the southern border detention camps and fresh concerns about children being held apart from their parents. Recently, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called these facilities “concentration camps” and was swiftly rebuked by people on the right and left. To be clear, the U.S. government holds immigrants -- who have entered the country illegally -- while they’re being processed. The question is: what do we call these places? Are they Detention centers -- as the government refers to them? Detainment camps? Is Ocasio...
