Moore provides fascinating firsthand accounts of their experiences. Interested primarily in shedding light on the experiences of Nisei women during the war, the author argues for the relevance of these experiences to larger questions of American race relations and views on gender and their intersections, particularly in the country's highly charged wartime atmosphere. Uncovering a page in American history that has been obscured, Moore adds nuance to our understanding of the situation of Japanese Americans during the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brenda Lee Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813532787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813532783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.01w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen's Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2004 pg. 19","brand":"Brenda Lee Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44717171998975,"sku":"9780813532783","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95bb0709-feed-41a4-81d2-ce74c5c7215e.jpg?v=1705687268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/serving-our-country-brenda-lee-moore-9780813532783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
