Beskrivning
Challenging the notion that Nikkei individuals before and during World War II were helpless pawns manipulated by forces beyond their control, the diverse essays in this rich collection focus on the theme of resistance within Japanese American and Japanese Canadian communities to twentieth-century political, cultural, and legal discrimination. They illustrate how Nikkei groups were mobilized to fight discrimination through assertive legal challenges, community participation, skillful print publicity, and political and economic organization.Comprised of all-new and original research, this is the first anthology to highlight the contributions and histories of Nikkei within the entire Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia.

Recensioner i media

"The collection's solid scholarship and research moves the study of Japanese Americans 'outside the usual California-centered framework.' [It] could easily be used in classes dealing with the Northwest or Asian Americans. Each essay stands alone as a tribute to the vitality of Nikkei, such as Gordon Hirabayashi, and their descendants."
