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.
Proud to be a supporter of the PHP cause. Especially when I get the privilege to wear a shirt honoring our boys who have been lost but not forgotten. Please continue to add new and distinctive shirts and I will keep on buying!
The shirt is pretty and fit is true to size. When I finish the hike the shop outside was closed. I’m glad I was able to purchase my accomplishment (shirt and certificate) online.
I purchased this flag as a gift for a friend’s 65th birthday. I was looking for something unique and this flag really filled the bill. It was a simple process and everything went as planned. Once the flag arrived I was absolutely thrilled with my purchase. It was everything I expected. Being able to add the certificate with my friends fathers name was a special extra!
This Tee Shirt comes in a beautiful shade of blue with the Diamond Head Natural Historic Site in a stunning green with the circle around it. It also has a smaller version of the Diamond Head on the sleeve. Very unique.
I had the privilege in 2017 to visit Pearl Harbor. It was a visit that I had wanted to make since I was a boy. The tour and the guide provided insights with great reverence to the "Day of Infamy". Since the visit I wanted to have a flag that was flown on the Arizona, I am building a new home and it will be a pleasure to fly this flag on my new flag pole in memory of and reverence for the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice that day in 1941. Thank you!
