"The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration Edited with an Introduction by Frank Abe and Floyd Cheung TARGET CONSUMER: Readers of They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, No No Boy by John Okada, Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, Facing the Mountain by Daniel James Brown, When the Emperor was Divine by Julie Otsuka, and Only What We Could Carry by Lawson Fusao Inada The collective voice of Japanese Americans defined by a specific moment in time: the four years of World War II during which the US government expelled resident aliens and its own citizens from their homes and imprisoned 125,000 of them in American concentration camps, based solely upon the race they shared with a wartime enemy.
