by Thomas K. Walls This well-researched book offers an in-depth look at the valuable contributions of Japanese Texans to the cultural and economic growth of the state and their struggle to be recognized as citizens. It tells of a proud Texas heritage—how Japanese families shared the same strong principles as other Texans to overcome decades of great difficulty and survive the many ordeals brought about by Japan’s bombing of Pearl Harbor. Tom Walls, himself of Japanese descent, brings to life a series of individual stories—tales of triumph and failure, pride and humiliation. 254 pp. Illustrated. |
