Full disclosure: I was an undergraduate student at Stanford with the author.I purchased this book because I knew the author but I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did nor did I expect it to so radically change my thinking about our own government. I knew very little about our incarceration of more than 110,000 American residents and citizens of Japanese ancestry during WWII, other than it had happened. But this book opened my eyes to the political events that allowed it to happen and the hardships these loyal families faced before and after the years they were relocated to camps like the one at Minidoka in southern Idaho.It brought to mind the Japanese-American friends I had in high school in Arizona and made me wonder whether they were the children of internees at Poston or the Gila River internment camp that I never even knew existed in my state before reading this book. Today, I live in Texas and I now know that Seagoville up the road from Dallas was another relocation center like those in North Dakota, New Mexico, Montana, Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and other states.This book introduces several Japanese-American families as immigrants (issei) at the turn of the 20th century and follows them, their children (nisei) and their children’s children (sansei) as they bond with this country, work hard to establish businesses or serve in the U.S. military, strive to be good neighbors, and to educate their children. Ultimately it's a narrative of hope and dreams and success. Despite legal maneuvers to marginalize them, and the suspicions of people on the West Coast, they endured economic adversity, deprivation, and racial prejudice to prove their loyalty to this country with quiet courage and perseverance.It’s a personal story for the author, well researched with family interviews, remembered conversations, personal letters and photographs, history, and government documents, and is told through inspired storytelling and evocative poetry, capturing both facts and feelings.Anyone who is interested in WWII, American history in the early 20th century, the policies of FDR, the politics of race, the origins of prejudice, or their own Japanese-American ancestry should make Looking After Minidoka: An American Memoir, a must-read.
I read this because I discovered the author was a good friend of my oldest sister and she recommended it. I also chose to read it because it is the 75th anniversary of the internment. I was a History major in College but had no idea the first generation of Japanese immigrants were not allowed to become citizens or own property. This book was very informative on the subject.I was raised where there was a large population of Japanese Americans. I had several best friends that were just as both of my older sisters friends were. I never realized they were "brown" or "yellow" or not white and this was in the 50's and 60's. This book made me wonder what their parents had lived through especially since I grew up in the west. I hope they saw me as a good person because their children, my friends, were. We all studied hard and we all got good grades because it was expected of us. So their culture was no different than mine in this aspect.I am thankful that this book was so informative so I could learn more of the history of my Country and see so many of the wrongs that hopefully we can and have learned from. Thank you Mr. Nakadate for sharing your family with us. It was very moving.
This book made me realize how blissfully ignorant I was of the injustice done to the American Japanese during WWII.Nakadate's personal account of the journey of his own family was laced with historical fact's of how our government's policies reflected the fear generated by threat of the war reaching US shores and how injustices are manifested. Recent "apologies" are "too little too late". I identified parallels in my own life being second generation born of Germanimmigrants from Russia. They too settled in Portland and clung together as ethnic groups will do. Even though they may have experienced moments of fearful shunning if their accents were detected, they blended in easily and did not suffer by incarcerated and losing all they had built. Truly man's inhumanity to man!What amazes and embarrasses me to some extent is that I do not remember being taught (or did I blocking out?) about this part of WWII in my history classes and only came to know about this as an adult. This is why this book has been such an eye opener for me. Studying wars was boring to me in high school. I needed to know how people were affected by and involved in the experience not dates of battles immediately forgotten once the test was over.I must confess that Dr. Nakadate and I attended the same high school in Portland and were classmates. I don't think many of us gave any thought to his ancestry. He was popular and highly respected as a leader. I regret now not having taken the opportunity to know him on a more personal level. There is much we could have shared. Thanks Neil for continuing my education. I am enlightened.
Neil Nakadate, my colleague at Iowa State, has produced a marvelous blend of the personal and the historical in this book about the "relocation camps" that imprisoned Japanese-Americans during World War II. By turns I was saddened, amused, and horrified, but even as he wrote of his own family's tribulations he maintained a calm and objective voice, letting others speak of racism and xenophobia.This is a most impressive and emotionally moving memoir. I heartily recommend it.
Excellent book on the Japanese encampment during WWII. Nakadate wrote with emotion and underlying anger at the treatment Asians received throughout their settlement in the United States. I am amazed sometimes that so many would want to relocate here given the mistreatment of they received.
I had to buy this book for my class and the instructor is the author. Need I say more.
Elegant prose that takes one through the history of Japanese-American treatment in the US through exploring many branches of a family tree. Not only well researched but a a wonderful read.
