But some men resisted. They became known as "no-no boys," for twice having answered "no" on a compulsory government survey asking whether they were willing to serve in the U.S. armed forces and to swear allegiance to the United States. No-No Boy tells the story of one such draft resister, Ichiro Yamada, whose refusal to comply with the U.S. government earns him two years in prison and the disapproval of his family and community in Seattle. A touchstone of the immigrant experience in America, it dispels the "model minority" myth and asks pointed questions about assimilation, identity, and loyalty"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3459810</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3459810</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Okada, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3459810030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525505792/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[No-no Boy]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the aftermath of World War II, Ichiro, a Japanese American, returns home to Seattle to make a new start after two years in an internment camp and two years in prison for refusing to be drafted.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3802764</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3802764</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Okada, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3802764030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780295806006/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[No-no Boy]]></title><description><![CDATA[First published in 1956, No-No Boy was virtually ignored by a public eager to put World War II and the Japanese internment behind them.

The novel faced a similar rejection until is was rediscovered and reissued in 1976, becoming a classic of American literature. As a result of Okada's untimely death at age forty-seven, the author's life and other works have remained obscure. This collection offers the first full-length examination of Okada's development as an artist, placing recently discovered writing by Okada alongside essays that reassess his legacy. Meticulously researched biographical details, insight from friends and relatives, and a trove of photographs illuminate Okada's life in Seattle, military service, and careers as a public librarian, technical writer, and ad man. This volume is an essential companion to No-No Boy--back cover.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3802981</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3802981</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3802981030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Life and Rediscovered Work of the Author of No-no Boy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780295743530/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration]]></title><description><![CDATA["The collective voice of Japanese Americans defined by a specific moment in time: the four years of World War II during which the US government expelled resident aliens and its own citizens from their homes and imprisoned 125,000 of them in American concentration camps, based solely upon the race they shared with a wartime enemy. A Penguin Classic This anthology presents a new vision that recovers and reframes the literature produced by the people targeted by the actions of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress to deny Americans of Japanese ancestry any individual hearings or other due process after the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. From nearly seventy selections of fiction, poetry, essays, memoirs, and letters emerges a shared story of the struggle to retain personal integrity in the face of increasing dehumanization - all anchored by the key government documents that incite the action. The selections favor the pointed over the poignant, and the unknown over the familiar, with several new translations among previously unseen works that have been long overlooked on the shelf, buried in the archives, or languished unread in the Japanese language. The writings are presented chronologically so that readers can trace the continuum of events as the incarcerees experienced it. The contributors span incarcerees, their children born in or soon after the camps, and their descendants who reflect on the long-term consequences of mass incarceration for themselves and the nation. Many of the voices are those of protest. Some are those of accommodation. All are authentic. Together they form an epic narrative with a singular vision of America's past, one with disturbing resonances with the American present"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3956265</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3956265</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3956265030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780143133285/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[No-no Boy]]></title><description><![CDATA[A conscientious objector from World War II, Ichiro searches for acceptance in the country in which he was born.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3760311</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3760311</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Narasaki, Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3760311030</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781682661482/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
