In Looking After Minidoka the \"internment camp\" years become a prism for understanding three generations of Japanese American life, from immigration to the end of the twentieth century. Nakadate blends history, poetry, rescued memory, and family stories in an American narrative of hope and disappointment, language and education, employment and social standing, prejudice and pain, communal values and personal dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface: My Nickel\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003eNote on Terminology and Pronunciation\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Looking After Minidoka \u003cbr\u003eI.
