"Mark Rawitsch's The House on Lemon Street ranks with Valerie Matsumoto's Farming the Home Place, Yasuko Takezawa's Breaking the Silence, and Linda Tamura's Nikkei Soldiers Break Their Silence as among the very best books in Japanese American studies to simultaneously make a major contribution to that field of study plus local and public history. What the sterling works by Matsumoto, Takezawa, and Tamura accomplished for Cortez, California; Seattle, Washington; and Hood River, Oregon—to render these sites touchstones of Nikkei history and memory—Rawitsch has done for Riverside, California."—Art Hansen, Professor Emeritus of History and Asian American Studies, and past director, Center for Oral and Public History at California State University, Fullerton
