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.
