DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative discussion on Yu Tokunaga's new book
 : Transborder Los Angeles: An Unknown Transpacific History of Japanese-Mex
 ican Relations. Focusing on Los Angeles farmland during the years between 
 the Immigration Act of 1924 and the Japanese incarceration in 1942\, Trans
 border Los Angeles weaves together the narratives of Mexican and Japanese 
 immigrants into a single transpacific history. In this book\, Yu Tokunaga 
 moves from international relations between Japan\, Mexico\, and the US to 
 the Southern California farmland\, where ethnic Japanese and Mexicans play
 ed a significant role in developing local agriculture\, one of the major i
 ndustries of LA County before World War II. Viewing these experiences in a
  single narrative form\, Tokunaga breaks new ground\, demonstrating the cl
 ose relationships between the ban on Japanese immigration\, Mexican farm w
 orkers' strikes\, wartime Japanese removal\, and the Bracero Program. Book
 s are available to purchase for 30% off online for those who register. Thi
 s program is free to attend but registration is required. \n\nYu Tokunaga
  is Associate Professor of History at the Graduate School of Global Enviro
 nmental Studies with a joint appointment at the Graduate School of Human a
 nd Environmental Studies\, Kyoto University\, Japan.\n\n \n\nhttps://www.
