Tacoma's vibrant Nihonmachi of the 1920s and '30s was home to a
significant number of first generation Japanese immigrants and
their second generation American children, and these families
formed tight-knit bonds despite their diverse religious,
prefectural, and economic backgrounds. As the city's Nisei grew up
attending the secular Japanese Language School, they absorbed the
Meiji-era cultural practices and ethics of the previous generation.
At the same time, they positioned themselves in new and dynamic
ways, including resisting their parents and pursuing lives that
diverged from traditional expectations. Becoming Nisei, based on
more than forty interviews, shares stories of growing up in
Japanese American Tacoma before the incarceration. Recording these
early twentieth-century lives counteracts the structural forgetting
and erasure of prewar histories in both Tacoma and many other urban
settings after World War II. Lisa Hoffman and Mary Hanneman
underscore both the agency of Nisei in these processes as well as
their negotiations of prevailing social and power relations.
