Book Review

Senso to Imin no Shakaishi: Hawai Nikkei Amerikajin no Taiheiyo Senso (A social history of war and immigrants: Japanese immigrants' experiences in Hawaii during World War II). By Noriko Shimada. (Tokyo: Gendaishiryo Shuppan, 2004. ix, 311 pp. ¥3200, ISBN 4-87785-124-0.) In Japanese.

The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II has become a popular subject in the last two decades, producing a continuous stream of publications.

That neglect was also true in the work of Japanese scholars until the publication of Noriko Shimada's book. Using largely untapped wartime surveys and Japanese-language newspapers and records, and conducting a number of interviews, the author examined several facets of the Japanese American experience during and immediately after the war.
