The campaign was seeking an unprecedented admission of wrongdoing from Congress. It depended on a unified effort but began with an acutely divided community: for many, the shame of \"camp\" was so deep that they could not even speak of it; money was a taboo subject; the question of the value of liberty was insulting. Besides internal discord, the American public was largely unaware that there had been concentration camps on US soil, and Tateishi knew that concessions from Congress would come only with mass education about the government's civil rights violations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the backroom politicking and verbal fisticuffs that make this book a swashbuckling read, \u003ci\u003eRedress\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a community reckoning with what it means to be both culturally Japanese and American citizens; how to restore honor; and what duty it has to protect such harms from happening again. This book has powerful implications as the idea of reparations shapes our national conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Tateishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597144983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597144988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heyday Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 1.26d","brand":"John Tateishi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051829391615,"sku":"9781597144988","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9a30202-22d0-4656-88d2-f10a6ff0415d.jpg?v=1685015417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/redress-john-tateishi-9781597144988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
