In emotional, often inflammatory speeches, Kurihara attacked the US government for its treatment of innocent citizens and immigrants. Because he articulated what other inmates dared not voice openly, he became a spokesperson for camp inmates. In this biography, Kurihara's life provides a window into the history of Japanese Americans during the first half of the twentieth century.Asian American experience.Japanese AmericansForced removal and internment, 1942-1945Japanese AmericansSocial conditions20th centuryJapanese AmericansCultural assimilationJapanese AmericansEthnic identityJapanese AmericansBiographyJapanese AmericansForced removal and internment, 1942-1945.Japanese AmericansSocial conditionsJapanese AmericansCultural assimilation.Japanese AmericansEthnic identity.Japanese Americans940.53/1779487092BTamura Eileen1150339MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789468503321In defense of justice3819487UNINA
