Book Description
Japanese Americans of Merced County, A Photographic Journal, tells the story of Japanese who came to Merced County to work in the fields and to build their farms. It tells the American story of being ordered to leave their homes and move to concentration camps. It shows the Americans who, even though their parents were never allowed to become naturalized U.S. citizens until 1954, joined the armed forces to defend America in Europe and Asia during World War II. Finally, this collection of photographs shows how the Japanese returned to this community after the war to rebuild, renew, and continue their lives.
