Caption

Prison camps like the one at Guantánamo, Cuba, are places where detainees can lose even "the right to have rights," according to the new book "Rightlessness," by A. Naomi Paik, a professor of Asian American studies at the University of Illinois. She also looks at previous camps that detained Haitian refugees and Japanese-Americans.
