Gaman: The Story of a Japanese American Prisoner in a War That Never Ended (Signed)
Signed by author Kenichi K. Yabusaki.
This book is about what Ken Yabusaki did with the war that never ended, how he met the love of his life, served his country in the Army during the Vietnam War, raised a family, became an accomplished biochemist, has advocated for civil rights, and found nature within himself through fly-fishing.
Today, Minidoka, where Ken was born, is a national historical site and like the other main concentration camps is a testimonial to what racism, fear, war hysteria, political motives, and unchecked power did to innocent Americans.
Although Minidoka was about perpetrators and victims, it provided an opportunity to survive oppression. It opened the doors to Ken’s coming of age, growing up on Jackson Street in Seattle, experiencing the deaths of family members, and learning about an unknown sister. His parents were people of few words but understood that holding grudges killed the human spirit. They lived what sages often say, “It’s not what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.” Paperback.
