   Extractions: Release Date: Book Description Based on the author's own experiences, this award-winning novel was the first to tell the story of the evacuation, relocation, and dispersal of Canadian citizens of Japanese ancestry during the Second World War. Customer Reviews: Too Bad Young Reviewers were assigned this book! I think this is a great book. There are many reviews describing why I feel this way. My comment is about the youth reviewers that are so very negative and don't understand this book and hated trying to read it as a school assignment. WHY on earth would a teacher assign this book as required reading to any student in a lower grade than maybe the 12th? It is obvious by the reviews of the younger youth, they don't understand the way the book is written, they don't understand the impact of the subject of this book, they haven't grown up enough to see the "big picture". I think teachers should "stretch" students reading agendas but this is a stretch that for the majority of students will do nothing but turn them off from reading! This book is certainly appropriate as a college assignment.

   Extractions: Register Sign In edit=false; thepage=0; [Login to edit this page] Born Joy Nozomi Nakayama in Vancouver, British Columbia, she was sent to internment camps in the Slocan and Coaldale, Alberta during World War II. Although the majority of her writing is poetry, her best-known work is Obasan (1981), a semi-autobiographical novel. A sequel, Itsuka (1992), was rewritten and retitled Emily Kato (2005). Obasan has been named as one of the most important books in Canadian history by the Literary Review of Canada and was also listed by The Toronto Star in a "Best of Canada" feature. Obasan was later adapted into a children's book, Naomi's Road (1986), which, in turn, Vancouver Opera adapted into an 45 minute opera that toured elementary schools throughout British Columbia. The opera was also performed before the general public in the Greater Vancouver area, Red Deer, Alberta, Seattle, Washington, and Ottawa, Ontario at the National War Museum. Although the novel describes Asian Canadian experiences, it is also routinely taught in Asian American Literature courses in the USA, due to its successful "integration of politically understanding and literary artistry" and "its authentication of a pan-Asian sensibility". The Save Kogawa House committee initiated a campaign to save Kogawa's childhood home in the Marpole neighborhood of Vancouver from demolition. They developed national support from writers and writing organizations across Canada demonstrating that the house at 1450 West 64th Avenue was regarded by many as having historical value and literary significance, similar to Berton House, Emily Carr House and the Haig-Brown Institute. The Save Kogawa House committee made a successful presentation to the City of Vancouver councilors to create an unprecedented 120 day delay of the processing of a demolition permit for the house on November 3, 2005, two days after the City of Vancouver had pronounced Obasan Cherry Tree Day and planted a graft of the cherry tree at Vancouver City Hall from the original cherry tree at Kogawa House.

Is there a difference in tone? if so, what elements could possibly account for this change in voice and tone? Explain any cultural differences in the role that the narrator play in each scene. Explain any differences related to age and the public/private division. 2 What do you notice about Kogawa's treatment of time in the autobiographical novel Obasan ? In what manner does time structure the narrative, if at all? Why are the dates included in Chapter 1 significant? Do the various juxtaposed dates secure a linear sense of time or discombobulate it? Explain. 3 In Chapter 3, how does Kogawa characterize or delineate the character Obasan through the domestication of space (pp. 14-18)? How does Kogawa describe the space that Obasan inhabits? What does this reveal about Obasan? What physical description does Kogawa give of Obasan? How does this description compare to the description of Uncle in Chapter 1?

    Extractions: We are sent to Siloam, the pool called 'sent. ' We are sent to the sending, that we may bring sight. We are the scholarly and the illiterate, the envied and the ugly, the fierce and the docile. We are those pioneers who cleared the bush and the forest with our hands, the gardeners tending and attending the soil with our tenderness, the fishermen who are flung from the sea to flounder in the dust of the prairies. We are the Issei and the Nisei and the Sansei, the Japanese Canadiens. We disappear into the future undemanding as dew. — Obasan Joy Nakayama Kogawa was born in 1935 in Vancouver, British Columbia. She lived there until her family was transported to an internment camp in central British Columbia. In 1941 the Canadian Government began a movement of Japanese people to internment camps. The Canadian government feared subversive acts from Japanese-Canadians and immigrants. The government also confiscated possessions and property from the Japanese-Canadians. Later they were sent to a camp in Coaldale in South Alberta. At the camps she and her family lived a life of field labor until the late 1940's when Joy began her studies at several universities.

SUMMARY Already a Canadian bestseller, Itsuka, the sequel to Joy Kogawa's award-winning novel Obasan, follows the character Naomi Nakane into adulthood, where she becomes involved in the movement for governmental redress. Much more overtly political than Kogawa's first novel, the story focuses on reaching that itsuka - someday - when the mistreatment of those of Japanese heritage during World War II would be recognized. Although during the war both the United States and Canada interned Japanese-Americans and confiscated their property, when the war ended the property of those in Canada was never returned to them. Itsuka is the story of the fight to get government compensation for the thousands of victims of the wartime internment, which was, unbelievably, only just accomplished in 1988. Both a moving novel of self-discovery and a fascinating historical account of the fight for redress, Itsuka's final message is one of inspiration and hope.
