{"product_id":"no-quiet-water","title":"No Quiet Water","description":"After the U.S. declares war on Japan in 1941, all persons of Japanese descent in the Western U.S. come under suspicion. Curfews are imposed, bank accounts frozen, and FBI agents search homes randomly.\n\nDespite the fact that two generations of the Miyota family are American citizens, Fumio and his parents and sister Kimiko must pack meager belongings and are transported under military escort to the California desert to be held at Camp Manzanar, leaving their good friends and neighbors the Whitlocks to care for their farm and their dog, Flyer.\n\nThe family suffer unimaginable insults, witness prejudice and violent protests, are forced to live in squalor, and are provided only poor-quality, unfamiliar food which makes them ill. Later, they are transferred to Idaho’s Camp Minidoka, where Fumio learns what it means to endure and where he discovers a strange new world of possibility and belonging.\n\nLyrical, visual, and rendered with strict attention to historical accuracy, No Quiet Water shines a poignant light on current issues of racism and radical perspectives.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1685130976\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1685130976.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Miller Kamada, Shirley\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
