Trade Paperback. Condición: GOOD. xxiv, 74pp. Large 8vo in printed wraps. Edges worn, hint of foxing, sound and unmarked otherwise. Owner's inscription from Avery M. Guest, a colleague of Miyamoto's at U.W. and a noted sociologist in his own right. Reissue of the groundbreaking 1939 monograph with a new 24 page introduction by the author. Out of print and quite scarce in trade. 'Originally published in 1939, Frank Miyamoto's classic study of the Seattle Japanese community in the 1930s was reissued in 1981 by the Asian American Studies Program at the University of Washington. It is now available with a new introduction by the author. Professor Miyamoto describes the Nisei of the period before World War HI, whose median age in 1936 was around 15 years and who were already a numerical majority in the community. As in the case of many second-generation groups in immigrant communities, the American-schooled Nisei often found themselves in conflict with their parents' Japanese orientation. He also discusses the nature of the inhospitable climate of the larger society within which the Japanese community existed, and shows how the seeds of the evacuation of 1942 were sown by the circumstances of the mid-1930s. There is at present no other available account of Japanese community life before World Il nor any other examination of how the circumstances of the Japanese American communities were related to the impending evacuation.'.
