Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Michi Challenges History by Ken Mochizuki A powerful biography of Michi Weglyn, the Japanese-American fashion designer whose activism fuelled a movement for recognition of and reparations for Americas Second World War concentration camps FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The daughter of Japanese immigrants, Michi Nishiura Weglyn was confined in Arizonas Gila River concentration camp during World War II. She later became a costume designer for Broadway and worked as the wardrobe designer for some of the most popular television personalities of the 50s and early 60s. In 1968, after a televised statement by the US Attorney General that concentration camps in America never existed, Michi embarked on an eight-year solo quest through libraries and the National Archives to expose and account for the existence of the World War II camps where she and other Japanese Americans were imprisoned. Her research became a major catalyst for passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, in which the US government admitted that its treatment of Japanese Americans during World War II was wrong. Thoroughly researched and intricately told, Michi Changes History is a masterful portrayal of one womans fight for the truth-and for justice. Author Biography Ken Mochizuki is the author of several award-winning books for young readers, most notably Baseball Saved Us. He is a well-known historian of Asian Pacific history and regularly presents to schools and universities. He lives in Seattle.
