Yasuko I. Takezawa, "Breaking the Silence: Redress and Japanese American Ethnicity "
English | ISBN: 0801481813 | | 248 pages | PDF | 49 MB
This book is a unique interpretation of how wartime internment and the movement for redress affected Japanese Americans. Yasuko I. Takezawa, a Japanese national who has lived in the Japanese American community as well as in the larger American society, has a distinctive vantage point from which to assess the changing meaning of being a Japanese American.

Takezawa focuses on the impact of two critical incidents in Japanese American history―the wartime evacuation and internment of more than a hundred thousand individuals and the redress campaign that resulted in an official apology and reparation payments from the U.S. government. Her book is a moving account filled with personal stories―both painful and joyous―told to her by Nisei and Sansei (second- and third-generation) interviewees in Seattle.
