In exploring the Japanese American experience, Lon Kurashige recasts this tangled debate by examining what assimilation and ethnic retention have meant to a particular community over a long period of time. This is an inner history, in which the group identity of one of America's most noteworthy racial minorities takes shape. From the 1930's, when Japanese immigrants controlled sizable ethnic enclaves, to the tragic wartime internment and postwar decades punctuated by dramatic class mobility, racial protest, and the influx of economic investment from Japan, the story is fraught with conflict. The narrative centers on Nisei Week in Los Angeles, the largest annual Japanese celebration in the United States. The celebration is a critical site of political conflict, and the ways it has changed over the years reflect the ongoing competition over what it has meant to be Japanese American. Kurashige reveals, subtly and with attention to gender issues, the tensions that emerged at different moments, not only between those who emphasized Japanese ethnicity and those who stressed American orientation, but also between generations and classes in this complex community. 410 0$aAmerican crossroads ;$v8. 606 $aJapanese Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 606 $aJapanese Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aJapanese Americans$xEthnic identity$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aEthnic festivals$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCitizens' associations$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xEthnic relations 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $a1930s. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aasian american. 610 $aasian history. 610 $aassimilation. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aculture. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aeconomy. 610 $aethnicity. 610 $agender issues. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ainternment camps. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese american. 610 $ajapanese immigrants. 610 $alos angeles. 610 $anisei week. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apostwar. 610 $arace. 610 $aracial minorities. 610 $aracism. 610 $aunited states history. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aus history. 610 $awartime. 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xEthnic identity 615 0$aEthnic festivals$xHistory 615 0$aCitizens' associations$xHistory 676 $a979.4/94004956 700 $aKurashige$b Lon$f1964-$0674725 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782946803321 996 $aJapanese American Celebration and conflict$91283166 997 $aUNINA
