About this ebook
During World War II, 110,000 Japanese Americans were removed from their homes and incarcerated by the US government. In Looking After Minidoka the "internment camp" years become a prism for understanding three generations of Japanese American life, from immigration to the end of the twentieth century. Nakadate blends history, poetry, rescued memory, and family stories in an American narrative of hope and disappointment, language and education, employment and social standing, prejudice and pain, communal values and personal dreams.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This 2013 book is compiled by an English professor whose family lived in Portland, Oregon, until some of the family were interned in relocaion camps in 1942, His mother, though born in the United Sates, was put into a camp in Idaho. His father was a doctor and was in Indiana so was not interned. He managed to get the author's mother out of the camp so he could marry her.The author was born 1 Sept 1943 in East Chicago, Indiana. The history of the f amily is well told from the time the author's grandparents were born in Japan up to the present. The way the Japanese Americans were treated is a blot on American justice, which the U.S. Supreme Court unfortunately failed to rectify when it had a chance.
