It makes Japanese-language scholarship on the subject available for the first time, and also draws on interviews, diaries, community histories, biographies, and the author's own family history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting with the history of the feudal fiefs of Aki and Bingo, which were merged into Hiroshima prefecture, Ayukawa describes the political, economic, and social circumstances that precipitated emigration between 1891 and 1941. She then examines the lives and experiences of those migrants who settled in western Canada. Interviews with three generations of community members, as well as with those who never emigrated, supplement research on immigrant labour, the central role of women, and the challenges Canadian-born children faced as they navigated life between two cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a must-read for scholars of migrations, diaspora, and transnationalism, and will also be of great interest to general readers who wish to learn more about the lives and experiences of Japanese Canadians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrologue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 The Hiroshima Homeland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The First Ones\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Sojourning and Beyond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 The Women Come\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Farmers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 The Divided Urban Community \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Nisei, the Second Generation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531053920536,"sku":"9780774814317","price":63.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/hiroshima-immigrants-in-canada-1891-1941-hardback-9780774814317","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
