Klappentext "The tragedy of incarceration has dominated historical studies of Japanese Americans!and few have explored what happened in the years that followed. A welcome addition to the literature! Greg Robinson's insightful study! After Camp ! will appeal to historians of immigration! the Asian American experience! comparative race relations! and the twentieth-century United States more broadly." -David K. Yoo! author of Growing Up Nisei "Greg Robinson has boldly and rightfully identified historians' neglect of Japanese American experiences after World War II. Rather than focusing exclusively on the Pacific Coast! After Camp offers a nuanced exploration of the competing strategies and ideas about postwar assimilation among ethnic Japanese on a truly national scale. The depth and range of Robinson's research is impressive! and After Camp convincingly moves beyond the tragedy of internment to explain how the drama of resettlement was equally if not more important in shaping the lives of contemporary Japanese Americans."-Allison Varzally! author of Making a Non-White America . Zusammenfassung Illuminates various aspects of a central but unexplored area of American history: the midcentury Japanese American experience.
