Life Behind Barbed Wire: The World War II Internment Memoirs of a Hawai'i Issei
No reviews
$26.00
Life Behind Barbed Wire by Yasutaro Soga - An exceptional firsthand account of the incarceration of a Hawaii Japanese during World War II. On the evening of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Soga the editor of a Japanese-language newspaper, was arrested along with several hundred other prominent Issei (Japanese immigrants) in Hawaii. After being held for six months on Sand Island, Soga was transferred to an army camp in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and later to a Justice Department camp in Santa Fe. He would spend just under four years in custody before returning to Hawaii in the months following the end of the war.
Most of what has been written about the detention of Japanese Americans focuses on the Nisei experience of mass internment on the West Coast - largely because of the language barrier immigrant writers faced. This translation, therefore, presents us with a rare Issei voice on internment, and Soga's opinions challenge many commonly held assumptions about Japanese Americans during the war regarding race relations, patriotism, and loyalty.
Printed in the USA. Softcover. 255 pages. Includes appendixes listing number of internees sent to mainland, status of Japanese at Santa Fe Camp as of August 10, 1944, as well as listing of internees by name.
I did hike to top of Diamondhead and wanted a shirt stating that I did. I loved the hike!!
If I had a suggestion it would be to be aware it runs a little small.
This shirt fits a little smaller than the Xl pink diamond head shirt. I normally wear large or X-Large and would need. Xxl to work this time.
Yet the shirt is a nice one and love the material
I ordered a flag flown at USS Arizona for my husband for his retirement gift. He mentioned wanting one only a few weeks before his ceremony. I hopped on the website and ordered it not knowing if they'd be able to fulfill my order and ship it in time for me to have it by his ceremony. They did! And the flag, polymax fabric, feels and looks really nice .
We realize forgot to purchase the medallion when we got home and unpacked. The online process was very simple and shipping was surprisingly quick. Very pleased with our purchase!
