An oral history of the Japanese American saga. It details the lives of first- and second-generation Japanese Americans before World War II with images drawn from interviews, songs, novels and newspaper articles. The heart of the story is the tragedy that followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
This unique oral history presents the Japanese American saga as told by those who lived through it. Frank Chin details the lives of first and second generation Japanese Americans before World War II with a rich kaleidoscope of images drawn from interviews, popular songs, novels, and newspaper articles. The heart of his story is the tragedy that followed the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when Japanese American citizens lost their homes and property and were forced into internment camps. The author deftly weaves interviews and testimony from the Japanese American Citizen''s League (JACL) with opposing, in-depth conversations with those who resisted the JACL''s support for U.S. policy. This shameful episode in American history resonates deeply today as we witness similar erosions of civil rights in the name of wartime security.
