Nisei Daughter
With charm, humor, and deep understanding, in Nisei Daughter Monica Sone tells what it was like to grow up Japanese American on Seattle’s waterfront in the 1930s and to face “relocation” during World War II.
After Peal Harbor, the US government uprooted Sone and her family from their home and imprisoned them in a camp. They shared this fate during the war with over one hundred thousand other persons of Japanese ancestry ― most of whom were U.S. citizens. Sone’s unique and personal account is a true classic of Asian American literature.
