Where the Body Meets Memory

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the complexities of identity, Mura reflects on his upbringing as a Japanese American in a society marked by racial prejudice, particularly the internment of his parents during World War II. By intertwining personal narratives with those of his family and fellow sansei, he uncovers the impact of being labeled a "model minority" and how it has led to a disconnection from cultural heritage and a sense of wholeness among Japanese Americans across generations.
