Excellent and Balanced Study of Wartime Incarceration
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Lane Ryo Hirabayashi has done a great service to the Asian American Studies community with his study of the life of Tamie Tsuchiyama. Through her own words, Hirabayashi captures her struggles as a researcher coping with the daily exigencies of life in an American concentration camp. Central to his work is the relationship that Tsuchiyama shared with then JERS (Japanese Evacuation Resttlement Study) head, Dorothy Thomas. Not only is this meticulously researched, but poignantly recounted through Hirabayashi's deft analysis. I can't wait to assign this book to my own students.
