Cooking in barracks, Tanforan Assembly Center, San Bruno, California, 1942

A woman with flipped forelock of hair, Mine Okubo, sits with her arms crossed as her food cooks over a hotplate while her neighbor adds another light to their overhead light at Tanforan Assembly Center, California during World War II. The image is bisected into two rooms by end of a wooden wall, Mine's on the left and the neighboring family of three on the right. Dressed in plaid shirt, Mine sits on a wooden stool next to a pot cooking on a hotplate plugged into her overhead light. A mustached man stands with lightbulbs in hand as the coffeepot percolates on a hotplate on table. Woman breastfeeds an infant in foreground, right.
