Nisei Memories by Paul Howard Takemoto
Offers an account of two second-generation Japanese Americans who were demonized as threats to national security during World War II. This book follows their lives before, during, and after the war. It leads through the half century of uncertainty and trauma endured by the family before it was able to confront issues central to its existence."This book is an example of excellent oral history, in that it reveals useful historical information not found in traditional written documentation, provides drama and emotion in illustrating the inherent contradictions in Japanese American history during World War II, and depicts the highly personal and collaborative nature of this unique and growing methodology"
* The Hawaii Journal of History *"Mr. Takemoto's work gains strength from his journalism experience and from many hours of recorded interview with his parents. . . . Beautifully written this deserves a place in history and/or memoir collections."
-- Librarian Judith E. McGowan * University Press Books Selected for Public and Secondary School Libraries, 2007 Edition *Paul Howard Takemoto was a journalist for sixteen years and is now a spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington, D.C.
