It makes Japanese-language scholarship on the subject available for the first time, and also draws on interviews, diaries, community histories, biographies, and the author's own family history. Starting with the history of the feudal fiefs of Aki and Bingo, which were merged into Hiroshima prefecture, Ayukawa describes the political, economic, and social circumstances that precipitated emigration between 1891 and 1941. She then examines the lives and experiences of those migrants who settled in western Canada. Interviews with three generations of community members, as well as with those who never emigrated, supplement research on immigrant labour, the central role of women, and the challenges Canadian-born children faced as they navigated life between two cultures. This book is a must-read for scholars of migrations, diaspora, and transnationalism, and will also be of great interest to general readers who wish to learn more about the lives and experiences of Japanese Canadians. 606 $aJapanese$zCanada$xHistory 607 $aCanada$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aHiroshima-ken (Japan)$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese$xHistory. 676 $a304.84/7105295 700 $aAyukawa$b Michiko Midge$f1930-$01599262 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824501103321 996 $aHiroshima immigrants in Canada, 1891-1941$93921855 997 $aUNINA
