Lily Havey was ten years old when her family of four was uprooted and sent first to Santa Anita Assembly Center in southern California and subsequently for the duration of the war to the Amache (or Granada) internment camp in southeastern Colorado. She experienced removal and confinement as a pubescent young woman and with a distinctly individual perspective. She was an independent and, in her own and apparently her parents' view, difficult child. Her mother called her a gasa gasa girl, meaning wiggly, restless, unable to sit still. The interment put additional stress on the dysfunctional marriage of her parents and especially on her father, who had a particularly hard time coping. Lily Havey's recounting of that time is in turn wrenching, funny, touching, and biting but consistently informative and engrossing, especially with regard to the daily challenges of life and the internees' adaptations"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aJapanese Americans$xForced removal and internment, 1942-1945 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xConcentration camps$zColorado$zAmache 606 $aJapanese Americans$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xForced removal and internment, 1942-1945. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xConcentration camps 615 0$aJapanese Americans 676 $a940.53/1778898092 700 $aHavey$b Lily Yuriko Nakai$f1932-$0970466 702 $aLyon$b Cherstin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460208303321 996 $aGasa gasa girl goes to camp$92205730 997 $aUNINA
