Nisei Daughter by Monica Sone

Even the mental suffering and struggle of Mise Sone's Nisei girl, the basic instincts ties us to this land. We were born here and we would like to live here. We tasted the freedom and learned the courageous hope for democracy. It's too late, it's too late for us. (124). This statement is the key to understanding the novel "Nisei's daughter" written by Monica Sone. From a certain point of view, this novel is an autobiographical story about how to build her own identity with Japanese American girls.

Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter is a memoir of the growth of Japanese Americans in the United States before the Second World War and the Second World War. The writer was born in the United States of America, was born to a Japanese Japanese parent, the second generation, or the second generation Japanese American. Helper rent is the first Japanese immigrant to the United States and is regarded as the first generation. Being born in the United States means that Nisei is an American citizen, but it hinders strict immigration control law from becoming a single citizen until the end of World War II.

There are few literary records about tragedies suffered by Japanese Americans by the hands of their own governments during the Second World War. Monica Sone's daughter of Nisei is certainly one of the most respected people, but only about a fifth of a rather thin book covers the author's experience in camps in Washington and Idaho. People seeking to make a strict explanation for this shocking government-approved bribe may be dissatisfied for different reasons. The authors' explanation on white Americans - especially during the war - is amazingly calm. Indeed, the relative lack of hatred being represented by Caucasian in a book may lead someone who does not know Japanese culture and watching it with some doubt.

Monicassone was born in Isotai Itoi Monika Itoi in Seattle in 1919. Like many Nisei, her name is a bridge between her past Japan and America's future: Kazuko is "peace" in Japan, Monica is the name of St. Augustine's mother. When she was a child she was helping her parents manage the Carrollton Hotel in Skid Row in Seattle. In 1942, her and her whole family were forced to enter the Japanese camp in Pure Lap, Washington. The family moved to Idaho State Camp Minidoka with hundreds of other people and there were many Japanese Americans until 1946.
