Summary:
"This timely memoir by Art Miki, former president of the National Association of
Japanese
Canadians
and central player in the
Japanese
Canadian Redress Campaign, describes the
journey
to find resolution to the historic event that deprived
Japanese
Canadians
of their basic human rights during and after World War II. The book explores the intense negotiations that took place in the 1980s between the Government of Canada and the National Association of
Japanese
Canadians
, which finally resulted in the historic
Japanese
Canadian Redress Agreement on September 22, 1988, and the acknowledgment by then Prime Minister Brian Mulroney that Canada had wronged its own citizens. Miki vividly recollects his past experiences and family history, revealing the beliefs and attitudes that shaped his life's
journey
as a youth in British Columbia, an educator in Manitoba, and a community leader across Canada. He shares personal reflections on his work as a school teacher and principal and on the
Japanese
Canadian Redress Campaign, as well as on the many endeavours, challenges, and projects that followed. He details his involvement with Indigenous communities and the dispute that would lead to the historic Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, his foray into politics during the 1990s as a Liberal candidate, and his role as a Canadian citizenship judge.
