Shinji Sato was 14 when his mother told him to leave Japan and not come back. Shinji's father gambled all their money away and was heading to California to make enough money to save his desperate family. Shinji went with him.After Shinji had saved some money he went back to Japan to find a wife. He chose well. Together they returned to California and worked unbelievably hard. Eventually, they realized their dream of owning their own little farm. And, they had nine children. The author was the oldest.Reading about this wonderful family was a joy that I would hate anyone to miss.After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor many of the Japanese were sent to internment camps. Many of them lost everything they owned. The Sato family, as usual, endured this period with dignity and perseverance. They were cheated out of half their land, but were eventually able to return to what was left of their property and buildings and did what to many would seem impossible--they cleaned-up, re-planted and rebuilt.This is a wonderful book--no matter which edition you read.
I seldom read memoirs, but after meeting Kiyo Sato at a writing-related event in Northern California, I went home and ordered the book. Until I moved to California in 1980—after attending high school and college in other states—I’d never heard a word about the Japanese internment camps of WWII. Even today, the topic is written out of the history books in nearly two dozen states.Ms. Sato covers nearly one hundred years in her memoir, beginning with her Japanese grandmother sending her son Shinji to the United States to seek a better life in 1911. After years of back-breaking labor, Shinji Sato and his wife Tomomi carved out a living on their own farm near Sacramento, where they grew fruits, nuts, and vegetables. For years, the Satos grew and sold tons of top-notch produce to feed their nine American-born children.The future did, indeed, look promising. That is, until Executive Order 9066, signed by President Franklin Roosevelt in February 1942, authorized the roundup, transportation, and internment of approximately 120,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast. Every person with more than 1/16th Japanese blood was included. Over two-thirds of those people were American citizens. And yet no Japanese American or Japanese national resident in the United States was ever found guilty of sabotage or espionage, according to the University of California Japanese American Relocation Digital Archives. (http://www.calisphere.universityofcalifornia.edu/jarda/historical-context.html) To the contrary, hundreds of young men honorably served in the American military in the European theater.The Sato family, along with thousands of others, lost everything—their land, their homes, most of their belongings, and their good names. The government forced them into buses and drove them to internment camps in several states, including the “Poston War Relocation Center,†in Poston, Arizona where the Satos went. The government took over part of the Colorado River Indian Reservation to build this particular Japanese internment camp. Oddly enough, the camp was built by Del Webb, who later became famous for building retirement communities.Kiyo Sato’s story represents many of these families. The strength, hard work, and powerful family ties of the internees ultimately allowed the Sato family and others to survive the harsh conditions of the camps, and to reestablish new lives after the war. It’s impossible to read this book and not cry. And yet the Satos never cried for themselves. Instead, they persevered and even prospered as the years went on. The power of love and of believing in one another can surmount nearly anything.President Gerald Ford rescinded Executive Order 9066 in 1976, several decades after WWII ended. Are there other citizens we treat differently today? Do we deny freedom to certain individuals? How about in other countries? Some historians say if we don’t learn from our history, we may be doomed to repeat it. Reading Kiyo’s Story will open your eyes to that possibility.Connie Goldsmith, author and book reviewer for The New York Journal of Books, and California Kids, a Sacramento regional parenting publication.
This fine book is a memoir, not a novel. Although I've read more than a little about the Japanese-American experience during WWII, I can't recall a book so personal and so complete. We see an immigrant family from its beginning in California, through the years establishing the farm as the kids live as regular American children, and finish up in modern times with an accounting of the descendants of that original family.This is an excellent record of the history of a family, of course as seen by one of its members. Recommended for anyone interested in the trials and successes of this particular Asian immigrant group.
This book is not only the definitive chronicle of the Japanese-American internment during World War II, it is also the definitive how-to for child rearing. Kiyo Sato's story of her mother and father's contributions to her upbringing is a roadmap to producing a successful family. It is also the best description ever of the unfairness of imprisoning American citizens simply because they looked like the Asian enemy. Many Americans looked like Germans and Italians, yet no German-Americans or Italian-Americans ever suffered imprisonment or had their property confiscated. It ranks on the 'Shame Scale' with America's treatment of Native Americans.
I am grad that this book finally became available in Asia Pacific Kindle store. I happened to find out that last night at the cafe, I immediately downloaded and started reading. I am still in the middle of the story, but I already like the story very much. Personally, it is like reading Japanese immigrants' version of "Little House on the Prairie" with nine kids. A young couple from Japan with full of hopes and plans for their future in America build their life one step at a time, despite of all social and economic hardships. Especilly, I like to read how her family worked in the fields together including children's little hands, had their family time together after dark, like children's learning English but picking up their father's wrong accents. They are such a wonderful, closely knitted family. I wish I were raised in a family like hers. Her story gives me a lot of hopes, courage, and warmth.
