Hardback. Zustand: Good. A compilation by Libia Hideko Maoki Yamamoto written and told in her words, reveals her family's saga as a Japanese immigrant family from their arrival and settlement in Chiclayo, Peru to their forcible removal and incarceration in Crystal City Department of Justice camp in Texas, during World War II. Her heartfelt account traces their once idyllic lives in Peru, having established their immigrant businesses, schools, and community institutions to the trauma of finding themselves used in wartime prisoner exchanges, regarded as "illegal aliens," and unable to return to Peru. Thus, through the help of local attorney Wayne Collins, Libia and her family were among the few thousand who halted their deportation to war-torn Japan. In the 1990's told her stories and others through the Japanese Peruvian Oral History Project and worked for redress for Japanese Latin Americans with the Campaign for Justice NOW! This reflection of her memories is published by the National Japanese American Historical Society, Inc.…
