Summary
The Journey : Japanese Americans, Racism, and Renewal
A moving depiction of the Japanese experience in 20th-century America, centered on the Japanese internment during WWII. Hamanaka has painted a 25-foot, five panel mural summarizing this experience--an artwork that's a complex, elegantly orchestrated blend of realistic portraits, caricatures and traditional symbols that recalls the social protest art of the '30s . . . The author writes simply but without bitterness. . . . This handsome book is not only an excellent introduction to an important, too little known chapter of American history, but a fine lesson in looking at the details and iconography of a work of art.--Kirkus Reviews, pointed review. Full-color illustrations.
