About This Item
Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1995. Paperback. 262p., wraps, very good condition. Illustrated with b&w photographs, charts, and block plans. While he was incarcerated at Poston, Nishimoto secretly worked as a fieldworker for the Japanese Evacuation and Resettlement Survey, and was eventually removed from the camp by the director of the War Relocation Authority, Dillon Myer. Following the war, he continued to work with Dorothy Thomas until the JERS was shut down in 1948. He then worked as a night watchman at a hotel in San Francisco and died of a heart attack in 1955.
