DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s and &rsquo\;30s\, Nisei girls&rsquo\; organiza
 tions flourished in Los  Angeles\, then home to the largest Japanese Ameri
 can population. In clubs  with names such as the Junior Misses and Tartane
 ttes\, girls learned  leadership skills and took part in community service
 \; they also enjoyed  beach outings and parties. Often sponsored by the YW
 CA\, Buddhist  temples\, and Christian churches\, these groups served as a
  bulwark again  racial discrimination\, offering a welcoming space that he
 lped young  women navigate between parental expectations and the lure of p
 opular  culture.\n\n<em>City Girls</em> examines the clubs and activities 
 through which  urban Nisei daughters claimed modern femininity\, an Americ
 an identity\,  and public space before and after the war.\n\n<a href="http
