From immigration to discrimination and internment, and then to reparations and a high rate of intermarriage, Americans of Japanese descent share a long and sometimes painful history, and now fear their unique culture is being lost. Gil Asakawa’s celebration of what makes JAs so special is an entertaining blend of facts and features, of recipes, songs, and memories that every JA will want to share with friends and family. Included are interviews with famous JAs and a look at how it’s hip to be Japanese, from manga to martial arts, plus a section on Japantown communities and tips for JA’s scrapbooking their families and traveling to Japan to rediscover their roots.

Gil Asakawa is a third-generation Japanese American, author of the weekly "Nikkei View" online column. He lives in Denver.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"With "Being Japanese America, Gil Asakawa has put together a terrifically personal, humorous, and honest start-up guide. It's the kind of book I wish I'd had; then maybe I wouldn't have given mom and dad such a hard time about such an important part of my identity." -- Tamlyn Tomita, actress ("The Joy Luck Club, "Robot Stories)
