About This Item
Boston; (1953): Little Brown and Co. First Edition. Octavo. ). 238 pages. The autobiography of Kazuko Itoi, a second-generation Japanese American woman who struggles through the familial, and racial conflicts of finding her identity. Kazuko Itoi, anglicized as the author Monica Sone, portrays the internment traumas of Japanese Americans after the outbreak of World War II and her "development" from childhood in her family, left behind in the internment camp. It begins with her childhood in Seattle seeing herself simply as an American, she writes as her mother tells he she was also Japanese: ..after all I had been born on Occidental and Main Street....It was not long after when the attack came on Pearl Harbor and her love of America caused her to find revulsion of her Japanese blood. Perhaps the best early autobiography of a young girl whose transition to womanhood considering a society with racism is an essential examination into the horrors of the attack upon Japanese Americans in World War II. A very nice copy bound in pale blue cloth, spine lettered in dark blue, some fading to spine end and edges, in the original dust jacket with light chipping to spine ends corners and some light wear to edges, jacket toned with some staining to rear panel. A very good copy.
