About This Item
New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Inscribed by the author on the half-title. Traces the life of the influential Japanese-American activist from her youth in the Little Tokyo section of Los Angeles to her grim experiences at Manzanar and her postwar struggle to raise awareness of the internment camps. Embrey's passion and advocacy played a major role in bringing this dark chapter of American history into the light of congressional acknowledgement and a presidential apology. Octavo: 192 p. with 14 illustrations. Original black buckram binding, with silver titles. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with some light wear.
