""The Rocky Shimpo,"" Pacific Citizen, April 4, 1944"" 330 8 $aOffering a window into a critical era in Japanese American life, Pacific Citizens collects key writings of Larry S. Tajiri, a multitalented journalist, essayist, and popular culture maven. He and his wife, Guyo, who worked by his side, became leading figures in Nisei political life as the central purveyors of news for and about Japanese Americans during World War II, both those confined in government camps and others outside. The Tajiris made the community newspaper the Pacific Citizen a forum for liberal and progressive views on politics, civil rights, and democracy, insightfully addressing issues of assimilation, multiracialism, and U.S. foreign relations. Through his editorship of the Pacific Citizen as well as in articles and columns in outside media, Larry Tajiri became the Japanese American community's most visible spokesperson, articulating a broad vision of Nisei identity to a varied audience. In this thoughtfully framed and annotated volume, Greg Robinson interprets and examines the contributions of the Tajiris through a selection of writings, columns, editorials, and correspondence from before, during, and after the war. Pacific Citizens contextualizes the Tajiris' output, providing a telling portrait of these two dedicated journalists and serving as a reminder of the public value of the ethnic community press. 410 0$aAsian American experience. 606 $aJapanese Americans$xPress coverage$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJapanese Americans$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aJapanese Americans$xForced removal and internment, 1942-1945$xPress coverage$zUnited States 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJapanese Americans$xPress coverage$zUnited States 606 $aJapanese American newspapers$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xPress coverage$xHistory 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJapanese Americans$xForced removal and internment, 1942-1945$xPress coverage 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJapanese Americans$xPress coverage 615 0$aJapanese American newspapers$xHistory 676 $a973/.04956 700 $aTajiri$b Larry$f1914-1965.$01804984 701 $aRobinson$b Greg$f1966-$0512224 701 $aTajiri$b Guyo$f1915-2007.$01804985 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970241903321 996 $aPacific citizens$94353318 997 $aUNINA
