Through in-depth interviews with surviving Nisei women who served, Brenda L. Moore provides fascinating firsthand accounts of their experiences. Interested primarily in shedding light on the experiences of Nisei women during the war, the author argues for the relevance of these experiences to larger questions of American race relations and views on gender and their intersections, particularly in the country's highly charged wartime atmosphere. Uncovering a page in American history that has been obscured, Moore adds nuance to our understanding of the situation of Japanese Americans during the war. 606 $aJapanese American women soldiers$zUnited States 606 $aJapanese-American women$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, Japanese American 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJapanese American women soldiers 615 0$aJapanese-American women$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xParticipation, Japanese American. 676 $a940.54/04 700 $aMoore$b Brenda Lee$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01042890 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450180003321 996 $aServing Our Country$92467500 997 $aUNINA
