21st Century Manzanar: A Novel by Perry Miyake [in AsianWeek]
The U.S. government’s need for scapegoats takes a chilling twist in Miyake’s effective debut novel, in which Executive Order 9066 is reinstated and the concentration camps are reopened. This time, the country’s economic collapse is blamed on Japan and once again, Americans of Japanese ancestry must pay the price.
