| description | "This book addresses the question why Japanese Americans have preserved their distinct ethnicity while being indisputably successful in achieving mobility into the mainstream American society; why ethnic cohesion has been not only by pre-World War II generations of Issei and Nisei who had to adapt to the inhospitable host environment and ended up in the wartime relocation camps, but by postwar and current generations for whom structural barriers have been largely removed." --Back cover (review by 'Pacific Affairs').
Includes bibliography (p. 187-204) and index (p. 205-207).
