For nearly one hundred years, basketball has been an important part
of Japanese American life. Women's basketball holds a special place
in the contemporary scene of highly organized and expansive
Japanese American leagues in California, in part because these
leagues have produced numerous talented female players. Using data
from interviews and observations, Nicole Willms explores the
interplay of social forces and community dynamics that have shaped
this unique context of female athletic empowerment. As Japanese
American women have excelled in mainstream basketball, they have
emerged as local stars who have passed on the torch by becoming
role models and building networks for others.
