About this title

Synopsis

Discusses the history, culture, and religion of the Japanese, factors encouraging their emigration, and their acceptance as an ethic group in North America

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-12 Beginning with an overview of the Japanese experience in America, this up-to-date but poorly organized book covers the importance of Buddhism and Confucianism to Japanese culture, Japanese traditions, the history of Japanese immigration into North America, wartime evacuation, and contributions to American culture. It is an attractive book, filled with black-and-white photographs and with an eight-page ``album'' of color photographs which, unfortunately, are poorly captioned and bear little relation to the text. This book is more complete than Noel Leathers' The Japanese in America (Lerner, 1974) in most areas, is physically more attractive, and has a much more complete index. It provides a more thorough history of early Japan (pre-19th Century) and of international politics that effected emigration from Japan (strangely enough, there is no mention of Commodore Perry). Kitano also discusses Canadian responses to Japanese immigration and mentions the 1985 bill introduced to compensate wartime evacuees. However, Leathers' book has a more helpful table of contents and much better overall organization. It is written on a more elementary level, and its organization makes it more accessible to intermediate students. Where there is a need for additional (and more current) information on this topic, Kitano's book is an acceptable addition. Rosie Peasley, Sylvan Union School District, Modesto, Calif.
