This is an important book, its stories ground-breaking and memorable."---Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, coauthor of Farewell to Manzanar<BR><BR>"These stories tiptoe gently into the heart, wipe clear the windows of our memories, and release the frozen tears of our outrage and triumphs. A deeply moving account of life after imprisonment, its lingering stigma, and the true meaning of freedom."---Dr. Satsuki Ina, producer of Children of the Camps<BR><BR>In the early days of World War II, more than 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry---roughly two-thirds of whom were American citizens---were taken from their homes along the West Coast and imprisoned in concentration camps. When they were finally allowed to leave, they faced a new challenge: How do you resume a life so interrupted?<BR><BR>The twelve memoirs that comprise Making Home from War spotlight the thinly documented and sorely understudied chapter of Japanese American history generally known as "resettlement."
