| Summary |
"This is the first book-length critical examination of the life and work of Mine Okubo (1912-2001), a pioneering Nisei artist, writer, and social activist. Okubo's landmark Citizen 13660 (first published in 1946) is the first and arguably best-known autobiographical narrative of the wartime Japanese American relocation and confinement experience."--Jacket |
