USED YEARS OF SORROW YEARS OF SHAME – STORY OF JAP

Description

“Years of Sorrow, Years of Shame – the Story of the Japanese Canadians in World War II” by Barry Broadfoot. Hardcover.

Barry Broadfoot chronicles the history of the Japanese Canadians in WW II, as well as their arrival in Canada, and dispersal after the war, through the use of extensive oral histories. The end result is a detailed history of the Japanese in Canada from 1877 into the future, with the benefit of the story being told largely in the words of survivors. Thus, issues of racism and discrimination are addressed, and no words are minced in the telling of the actions of the Federal government and the people of Canada.
