2 comments about The American Japanese.
- The story of Akira Toki was familiar to me--I have known people who were incarcerated in the Japanese internment camps in Arizona. They too had left the camps to farm in the Midwest--and faced similar hardships. Toki's upbeat attitude, heroism and success in the face of hardship is a great tale and a great testament to his fortitude. If you liked "Farewell to Manzanar", you will enjoy reading "The American Japanese."
- Arthur Rathburn's short oral history of Akira Toki is an excellent study of America's treatment of AJA (a term used during World War Two for "Americans of Japanese Ancestory.")
This is a story rich in tales of racial tolerance, racial intolerance, and American Patriotism. One gets a fresh and interesting view of life in America for American born and raised persons of Japanese Ancestory. It is not just a tale of regret or of bitterness. but a good over view of many of the complicated aspects of the subject. When one reads the book there is a definate desire to want to meet this true American, Akira Toki.

1 comments about The White Plum: A Biography of Ume Tsuda : Pioneer in the Higher Education of Japanese Women.
- While reading this I never felt Ume Tsuda leave the page and come to life. The book seems to have accurately researched the original letters from which most of this biography is sourced but then it is written with a detached perspective. Ume Tsuda should have written her own biography or had a close friend write it during her lifetime because this is so dry and antiseptic. Perhaps that is what you must get when the sources have all passed away and are not available for questioning.
