25 de Julho de 2017 • Greg Robinson

Loren Miller (1903-1967), um advogado e jornalista afro-americano de Los Angeles, trabalhou para construir a democracia americana durante uma carreira que durou quase 40 anos.

Não apenas um homem solteiro: as conexões nisseis de Christopher Isherwood

26 de Junho de 2017 • Greg Robinson

O romance curto de Christopher Isherwood , A Single Man , que ganhou aumento de vendas e atenção nos últimos anos como resultado da luminosa adaptação cinematográfica de Tom Ford em 2009, permanece como uma peça literária inovadora. Publicado em 1964, cinco anos antes dos motins de Stonewall e do nascimento do movimento LGBT moderno, o livro é frequentemente referido como uma das primeiras obras da literatura queer moderna, na medida em que apresenta um protagonista gay que é “normal” …

Defendendo Nikkeis: Hugh Macbeth e o Encarceramento de Nipo-Americanos

18 de Fevereiro de 2014 • Greg Robinson

Hugh Macbeth, Sr., um advogado negro de Los Angeles, está praticamente esquecido nos dias de hoje, mas ele merece ser homenageado como um espetacular defensor dos nipo-americanos durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nascido em Charleston, na Carolina do Sul, em 1884, Hugh Ellwood Macbeth cursou a Fisk University e a Faculdade de Direito de Harvard, se formando em 1908. Depois de morar alguns anos em Baltimore, onde ele fundou o jornal The Baltimore Times, em 1913 ele se mudou para …

Speaking Out in Seattle: The JANM Conference

15 de Agosto de 2013 • Greg Robinson

I was privileged to attend the 2013 Japanese American National Museum conference in Seattle. It commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, granting surviving Japanese Americans redress for their wartime confinement. The conference was a concentrated and rather intense experience, for a number of reasons. I arrived at the conference on Friday, July 5. Sadly, I missed out on the morning planning session for Tule Lake, which I heard afterwards had been quite a lively session. …

Read Part 1 >>One hint as to the prevailing spirit was that during the day several different people spoke of working in Jewish firms, which were the only ones that did not practice discrimination, or compared their experience with Jewish friends and classmates (Frank Moritsugu spoke of being hired in 1952 by McLean’s and being welcomed by the staff. Soon after, a reporter who had been on assignment returned, ushered Frank into his office, shut the door, and then said, …

At the first Japanese Canadian Heritage Committee conference I attended, back in 2010, I was invited to come on the night before the main event and give a warmup with some historical background. At the Keisho conference last year, I was asked to attend and then speak about my reflections at the end. This time, I appeared on both ends, as kickoff speaker the first morning and then as assessor. I am very glad to take on the task of …

Read Part 2 >>In 1995, a conference on the Japanese American experience was held at Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. Among the conference speakers were historian Yuji Ichioka, who presented a paper on Buddy Uno, and Hosokawa. According to surviving tapes of the sessions, Ichioka asserted during his presentation that Uno, despite his work for Tokyo and his belief in the superiority and honorable mission of Japan’s military, was NOT a traitor to the United States. Rather, he was simply …

Read Part 1 >> Kumpei William Hosokawa was born in Seattle on January 30, 1915. Although he did not begin speaking English until he went to kindergarten, he developed an early interest in reading and sports. He excelled in basketball, and later helped found a local Nisei basketball league.  Like many young Nisei, he spent several summers in Alaska working in salmon canneries.  In 1933, Hosokawa entered University of Washington to study journalism, although he was warned that no mainstream …

One of the difficulties of doing Japanese American history is maintaining a balanced perspective in the face of politically and ideologically-charged debates. Many chroniclers of Japanese Americans, in trying to debunk racist wartime images of Nisei as disloyal and pro-Japanese, have perhaps gone rather too far in the other direction. Eric Muller, the distinguished legal scholar and historian, has eloquently complained that books, plays, and exhibits have largely erased the Japanese connections of prewar Nisei, and have tended to portray …

Dateline Toronto: the Keisho Conference Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of Japanese Canadian Internment

13 de Abril de 2012 • Greg Robinson

On the weekend of March 31-April 1, I traveled to Toronto to attend the Keisho Conference at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. The conference, organized by the Heritage Committee of the JCCC (with help from Sedai, the Japanese Canadian Legacy Project) was designed to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Japanese Canadian confinement. There were a few hundred Japanese Canadians in attendance, plus some non-Japanese. On the morning of the first day, we were seated in the large Kobayashi hall, which was …
