内容紹介 Challenges studies that describe the Japanese American community's essentially linear process toward assimilation into US society. This title develops a complex and nuanced account of Japanese American life. It shows that a diversity of opinion and debate about effective political strategy characterized each generation of Japanese Americans. レビュー "Nisei/Sansei is a timely study: it takes us beyond the rhetorical denunciation of 'identity politics' by giving us scholarly insights into the relationship between identity and politics for Japanese Americans." -- Ronald Takaki, author of Strangers from a Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans "On the ever fluid and elusive topic of political identity, Nisei/Sansei is one of the most important books to appear on this subject in the last decade. With a careful and yet engagingly written socio-historical analysis, Takahashi develops a compelling case for how the shifting economic and social context shapes the political options and strategies. In that sense, this is a book primarily about political theory and political mobilization -- but with a substantive focus on the specific history of Japanese Americans." -- Troy Duster, Director of the Institute for the Study of Social Change, University of California, Berkeley "Jere Takahashi's ambitious exposition of Japanese American politics from the 1920s into the 1970s is a major contribution to Asian American studies. His attention to nuance and detail not only illuminates their political life styles but also gives us another vantage point from which to view the post-World War II America." -- Roger Daniels, Charles Phelps Taft Professor, History, University of Cincinnati 著者について Jere Takahashi teaches Asian American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
