While racism was prevalent in \"paradise,\" the Nisei and their parents also performed as active agents in their own lives, with the older generation attempting to maintain Japanese cultural ways and the younger wishing to become \"true Americans.\" Caucasian \"Americanizers,\" often associated with powerful agricultural interests, wanted labor to remain cheap and manageable; they lobbied for racist laws and territorial policies, portending the treatment of ethnic Japanese on the U.S. mainland during World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamura offers a wealth of original source material, using personal accounts as well as statistical data to create an essential resource for students of American ethnic history and U.S. race and class relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523430969624,"sku":"9780252063589","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/americanization-acculturation-and-ethnic-identity-the-nisei-generation-in-hawaii-paperback-softback-9780252063589","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
