Japanese Americans: The History and Culture of a People (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781440841897)

This book provides a comprehensive story of the complicated and rich story of the Japanese American experience--from immigration, to discrimination, to adaptation, achievement and contributions to the American mosaic.

Japanese Americans: The History and Culture of a People highlights the enormous contributions of Japanese Americans in history, civil rights, politics, economic development, arts, literature, film, popular culture, sports, and religious landscapes. It not only provides context to important events in Japanese American history and in-depth information about the lives and backgrounds of well-known Japanese Americans, but also captures the essence of everyday life for Japanese Americans as they have adjusted their identities, established communities, and interacted with other ethnic groups. This innovative volume will become the standard resource for exploring why the Japanese came to America more than 130 years ago, where they settled, and what experiences played a role in forming the distinctive Japanese American identity.
