Japanese Eyes, American Heart: Volume II - Personal stories compiled by the Hawaii Nikkei History Editorial Board.
“We were awakened by a ‘boom-boom’ sound like that of distant thunder on that Sunday morning.” So begin many of the stories in this book by Japanese Americans living in Hawaii on December 7, 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
These personal recollections, many of them written for the first time, capture the experiences and feelings of what it was like to be Japanese in Hawaii during World War II. Everything changed for all residents of the then Territory of Hawaii as the devastating attack sparked the entry of the United States into World War II. For Hawaii’s Japanese especially, who made up about 40 percent of the population, the ensuing war with an enemy who looked like them cast suspicion on aliens and American citizens alike. Yet during the war, no act of sabotage or espionage was ever committed by Hawaii’s Japanese.
As the second volume of Japanese Eyes, American Heart, this book complements the personal memoirs presented in the first book by nisei soldiers, who served with gallantry and distinction on the war front for our nation. Together they offer insights into a generation’s moment in history that challenged our country to live up to its democratic ideals and created new opportunities for the Japanese in Hawaii.
Details: Hard cover. 224 pages. Book measures approximately 6 inches by 9 inches.
I’ve been to Pearl twice and purchased other mugs and merchandise at the stores on site.My older brother Douglas was born on December 7th 1948 my parents named him after Big Mac . The one mug is for him and the other one is for me. They both are very nice and the American people can’t forget about what happened there 84 years ago. They called them the Greatest Generation for a reason and they gave it their all and died doing it.God bless them and God Bless America.
A SAD BUT HEART WARMING STORY. I HAVE READ SHORT STORIES ABOUT SADAKO BEFORE,THIS IS THE MOST COMPLETE STORY YET DETAILING THE STUGGLES SHE WENT THOUGH AND THE CURAGE SHE FACED THEM WITH ALONG WITH HER CARE GIVERS,FAMILY AND FRIENDS. IT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE LEGACY SHE LEFT BEHIND
I ordered the flag to fly on the Marine’s 250th birthday for my Dad! And the staff at Pearl Harbor pulled through. I was worried with the government shut down it may not fly. But I got my delivery in just a few days after November 10th. Safely packaged. Beautiful certificate. I can’t wait for his face on Christmas!
