Few other communities in the United States are as intermarried as Japanese Americans. That’s what makes Kip Fulbeck’s show at @JAMOpdx so valuable.

History books that mention the Chinese Exclusion Act or the Japanese American incarceration without addressing the underlying racism that made them possible aren’t telling the whole story.

Julie Otsuka’s new novel, The Swimmers, takes her characters through the Japanese American incarceration, as she did in When the Emperor Was Divine. It’s another important book to discover this part of American history.
