Dear Miye: Letters Home from Japan 1939-1946 Hardcover - 1995
by Mary Kimoto Tomita; Robert G. Lee (Editor)
From the rear cover
"The letters give a sense of immediacy in her descriptions of conditions in prewar, wartime, and postwar Japan. They also reveal an ordinary, resourceful, sassy, yet vulnerable young woman negotiating her way through tough situations."--Library Journal
"Tomita's commentary on the racial prejudices, economic disparities, moral dilemmas, and day-to-day social and sexual politics that she observed and experienced provides an intimate account of Japanese society, as well as a critique of U.S. society as represented in microcosm by the Allied occupation establishment."--Asian Weekly

Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1995. Hardcover. xii, 400 pages, very good hardcover in dust jacket. "The letters of Mary Kimoto Tomita tell the story of a young American woman of Japanese descent who along with over ten thousand other Japanese Americans was stranded in Japan during World War II. After growing up on a small farm in central California and completing junior college, Mary traveled to Japan in June 1939 to study the Japanese language and culture and to visit relatives. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Mary was on a Japanese ship bound for the United States; the ship turned around and returned to Japan, where Mary remained for the next five years..." - publisher's blurb.
