Description

"The History of the Okinawans in North America fulfills a longstanding desire of the first generation (issei) of Okinawan immigrants to the United States. Compiled and published by the community itself in a form combining narrative history and existing documents, this book embodies the issei legacy to future generations of Okinawans in America. It should become an important reference work for anyone active in the Okinawan community. Many fine examples of issei writing, drawn from the long tradition of writing and publishing within the Okinawan community, have been reproduced here for the first time in English"--From front book flap.
