Being Japanese American By Miyabe Ota For me, World War II is about sirens, dark cities and bomb shelters; little children being sent to the countryside for safety or **sokai**; the atomic bomb or **Pika**; sad news of Japan surrendering; Emperor Hirohito on the radio; disintegration of Imperial Japan; youth lost to the **Kamikaze Tokkoutai; "comfort women" of Korea and the Philippines; post-war hope in the voice of Misora Hibari; the baby boom era when my parents were born. These are the most relevant events during the war to me as a Japanese American. Manzanar is a foreign story in another world belonging to an American named Wakatsukisomething I read about in junior high. It was just as new and foreign to me as other events in American history such as genocide, slavery or refugees. I am Japanese American and everyone in my lineage was on the other side of the big blue Pacific during the depression, World War II and the Asian American Movement. Yes, my family's "World War II history" remains in Japan because that is where they experienced it. I was born in the U.S. and am of Japanese descent. That should be all the explanation I need in order to say I am a Japanese American. According to some sociologist who bought into the American obsession with categorization, I am not "Nisei." I am "Shin Nisei." Who is he to argue what these Japanese words mean when he can hardly think in Japanese? Japanese people in Japan certainly do not see any definition of age and generation in those words.

Japanese Americans in Concentration Camps Our people were forced into concentration camps and their lives where ripped away from them. One of the reasons that they threw us into the terrible living conditions was that they believed that we were spies for Japan during World War II, which in the end only ten people were convicted of spying for Japan, all of whom were Caucasian. The sudden attack of Pearl Harbor increased a fear of our people. Members of congress escalated fear of us among the American people. As early as January 1942, there was talk of imprisoning us. Many whites were motivated by economic self-interest and were determined to destroy our businesses, which they saw as competition. detaining us, evicting us from our homes, and firing us from our jobs. executive order 9066 . It stated that military commanders could designate areas that they could exclude us from living there. Areas such as the western parts of California, Washington, Oregon, and southern parts of Arizona were areas that were restricted from us. We were the only ones who were detained in assembly centers, in large numbers, and later transported under guard to barbed-wire concentration camps.

PopImage Year One Thursday, September 22, 2005 This weekend Hey there, it's been a fantastically busy week so I haven't had much time to update here. Apologies. Still got linked everywhere though :). The Sfar event went well, though it was maybe a skootch less attended than I wanted it to be. The numbers were still respectable, of course, and Mr. Sfar was well-and-truly-exhausted after the signing portion, but there's always this... disappointing disconnect between people who know about a great event, and people who attend it. I read this article in the Utne Reader last year, it was great, about blogging/lj culture. Half-remembered excerpt: "You didn't come to my book launch..." "I blogged about it though, that's totally the same thing." "That's not the same thing at all!" It gets worse in the winter, particularly if you're Canadian. Getting folks out of their warm apartments and into the negative 20-degree weather is a feat and a half. Even with TCAF's semi-tropical climes, we still had to hammer on the date and time for a full year in advance. The turn-out was quite strong (8,000 people over two days) but there were at least a few thousand local comic fans who just didn't show up. I dunno, it's hard to blame anyone (not that I want to...). I wouldn't wish most of my jam-packed-non-stop weeks on anyone, but at the same time the difference between memorable event with a foreign cartoonist on his first visit to Canada and making sure to catch something on TV seems to be massive. To me.

May Designated As Asian Pacific Islander American Heritage Month In California Leland Y. Yee, Ph.D. Assistant Speaker pro Tempore California State Assembly In recognition of the increased presence and prominence of the Asian Pacific Islander community in the state and the Bay Area, I have co-authored Assembly Concurrent Resolution 227, declaring the month of May 2004 as Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the State of California. API Heritage Month has been celebrated in full since 1992 and is designated as a period in which to recognize and share in the rich diversity of Asian cultures and acknowledge the many contributions our Asian Pacific Islander American neighbors have made to California and the rest of the nation. California continues to benefit from the contributions of immigrants from China, Japan, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Korea, and other Pacific Islands. Since 1980, Asian-Americans have been the fastest growing minority in the country. Nearly one in three of all Asian-Americans who live in the U.S. live in California. When Pacific Islander-Americans are included, their numbers increase to over four percent of the nation’s population, or approximately 11.9 million people. Among those who identify themselves as Asian Pacific Islander Americans are Filipinos, Cambodians, Hmongs, Laotians, Thais, Bangladeshi, Burmese, Indonesians, Malayans, Okinawans, Pakistani, Sri Lankans, Tongans, Tahitians, Northern Mariana Islanders, Palauans, Fijians and the Chinese, Japanese, Asian Indians, Koreans, Vietnamese, Samoans, Guamanians, East Indians, and Hawaiians.

Data for this report were requested from the 82 U.S. colleges and schools of pharmacy using five separate survey instruments. There are two professional education programs at U.S. colleges and schools of pharmacy: one leads to a baccalaureate in pharmacy and the other leads to the doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) degree. For the purpose of this report, students in doctor of pharmacy programs are categorized under PharmD I when the program leads to a doctor of pharmacy degree conferred as the first professional degree. Students who have already received a baccalaureate in pharmacy and are enrolled in a doctor of pharmacy degree program are categorized under PharmD2. First professional degree enrollments are defined as the number of students enrolled in baccalaureate programs and the number pursuing the doctor of pharmacy as a first professional degree.

The Possibilities of a Radical Consciousness: African-Americans and New Immigrants Amritjit Singh II. Later on, our embarrassed silence is broken by the scientist from upstate New York who talks about how Affirmative Action has done little for Blacks but given many whites a basis to complain about "reverse discrimination." He also wonders if Dinesh D'Souza is not right in condemning the academy as much too liberal. While I often disagree with him, we both enjoy the conversation and see in it an opportunity to learn from each other. III. There is little desire among Asian Americans today to learn from the long experience of Native Americans and African Americans in fighting discrimination. The new Asian Americans, who often display a "raw nerve"a combination of naivete and braveryin attempting to sprint their way to a color-blind America, might have much to learn from African Americans who have been marathon runners against racism. There is much for all "racialized" Americans to ponder in through the meanings of Ellison's textured novel in the context of our new lives. "Stephen's problems, like ours," exclaims Woodridge with reference to Joyce's young protagonist, "was not actually of creating the uncreated conscience of his race, but of creating the uncreated features of his face. Our task is that of making ourselves individuals. The conscience of a race is the gift of its individuals who see, evaluate, record" (34546). In the process, asserts Woodridge, we would have created both a "race" and a "culture."

Interview: Helen Papanikolas Helen Papanikolas has spent years researching the experiences of immigrants in the western United States. The author of several books based on hundreds of interviews with immigrants, she contibuted her knowledge of the immigration experience to the production of Joe Hill. Following is a full transcript of producer Ken Verdoia's interview with Papanikolas: Q:: The turn of the new century brings the peak of European immigration to the United States. What were they seeking? Is there a commonality to be found there? A: Opportunity was the main reason. And Americans just don't realize the kind of poverty that the Europeans, particularly the southern Europeans, had to endure. I have talked with immigrant men, long since dead, who didn't have a pair of shoes until they went to the Army for the compulsory training that every country expected of, usually, 19-year-olds. That's why many young men came here before they were 19. But their countries were ravaged over the centuries with invasions. America has never been invaded. America had these vast lands of alluvial soil, homestead laws, they had so many ways that immigrants could be helped and help themselves. But when this deluge of southern European immigrants came, it was entirely different.

The Arab-American population is quite young, many in their childbearing years or native born children and teenagers. They are better educated than the average American. Among blacks, French-speaking Haitian-born Americans often have little in common with those that are U.S.-born. Seventy percent of Asian Americans arrived here since 1970.

POPULATION DISTRIBUTION AND CHINATOWNS Introduction Population growth and distribution A timeline to show population growth of Chinese in California Some examples of Chinatowns ... San Francisco Chinatown INTRODUCTION : Today, Asian Americans belong to the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. Kept out of the United States by immigration restriction laws in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Asians have recently been coming again to American. The 1965 Immigration Act reopened the gates to immigrants from Asia, allowing 20,000 immigrants from each country to enter every year. In the early 1990s, half of all immigrants entering annually are Asian. The growth of Asian-American population has been dramatic. In 1960, there were only 877,934 Asians in the United States, representing a mere 1% of American people. Thirty years later, they numbered about seven million or 3% of the population. They included 1,645,000 Chinese, and by the year of 2000, Asian Americans will probably represent 4% of the total United States population. In California, Asian Americans already make up 10% of the state's inhabitants, compared with 7.5% for African Americans. According to the 1990 census conducted by the U.S. government, plus some 400 thousand Chinese immigrants admitted to U.S. in the past four years, there are approximately two million ethnic Chinese residing in the United States today. The majority of the Chinese are first generation immigrants who came to this country mainly from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries in the past two decades.
