“One Bellevue, One Book:” the links between wartime incarceration and ICE abductions
Here is the most detailed story yet from my recent talks on the links between wartime incarceration and the scourge of ICE abductions. You should read the story by Kai Curry online at the Northwest Asian Weekly, but it conveys so much that’s important, and so much has changed since I first spoke on this … Continue reading “One Bellevue, One Book:” the links between wartime incarceration and ICE ab

Mark's review
of
The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration:
"Taken as a whole, these sixty-eight (mostly very short) essays, memoirs, petitions, stories and poems yield a vivid picture of a shameful and tragic American episode as experienced by Japanese Americans. Frank Abe's editing takes us through the initi"

of
The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration:
"I already knew this was going to be an emotional read, especially as many were stories that had never been published in English before. I was excited and nervous to begin reading, as this is a part of US history that is often glossed over, where many"

Nanako Water's review
of
The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration:
"The incarceration of an entire community of Americans during WWII based solely on race is both unbelievable and frightening. Imagine how it would feel to have the FBI pound on your door to suddenly take away your husband? He's just an ordinary man wh"

“There is a period between each night and day when one dies for a few hours, neither dreaming nor thinking nor tossing nor hating nor loving, but dying for a little while because life progresses in just such a way.”

“...Love is not something you save and hoard. You're born with it and you spend it when you have to and there's always more because you're a woman and there's always suffering and pain and gentleness and sadness to make it grow.”

“This is the way it ought to be, he thought to himself, to be able to dance with a girl you like and really get a kick out of it because everything’ on an even keel and one’s worries are of the usual ones of unpaid bills and sickness in the family and being late to work too often. Wh can’t it be that way for me? Nobody’s looking twice at us. Nobody’s asking me where I was during the war or what the hell I am doing back on the coast. There’s no trouble to be had without looking for it. Everything’s the same, just as it used to be. No bad feelings except for those that have always been and probably always will. It’s a matter of attitude. Mine needs changing. I’ve got to love the world the way I used to. I’ve got to love it and the people so I’ll feel good, and feeling good will make life worthwhile. There’s no point in crying about what’s done. There’s a place for me and Emi and Freddie here on the dance floor and out there in the hustle of things if we’ll let it be that way. I’ve been fighting it and hating it and letting my bitterness against myself and Ma and Pa and even Taro throw the whole universe out of perspective. I want only to go on living and be happy. I’ve only to let myself do so.”
