Special Issue on Nikkei History, BC Studies, no. 192 (Winter 2016/17)
Nikkei History
In recent decades, scholars on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border and in Japan have contributed to the development of a rich and growing body of literature that addresses the historical experience of Japanese immigrants and their descendants in North America. This special issue of BC Studies will take stock of what this has meant for Nikkei history in British Columbia and ask how approaches developed in other regional or disciplinary contexts might be applied to further enhance our understanding of the Nikkei experience in British Columbia. Guest edited by Andrea Geiger, the issue features an excerpt from Joy Kogawa鈥檚 Gently to Nagasaki, articles by Greg Robinson, Janice Matsumura, Daniel Lachapelle Lemire and Patricia Roy, and a photo essay by Robert Muckle.
