DESCRIPTION:There is a large literature devoted to Japanese immigration and
  settlement\, as well as the official confinement of some 120\,000 ethnic 
 Japanese from the West Coast during World War II.&amp;nbsp\; Yet\, the essenti
 al question\, &amp;ldquo\;What happened after people left camp?&amp;rdquo\; remain
 s all but unanswered by historians. Excluded from the wartime economic boo
 m and scarred psychologically by their wartime ordeal\, the former camp in
 mates struggled to remake their lives in the years that followed. &amp;nbsp\; 
 Even if the resettlement and renewal that followed the release of inmates 
 from camp lack the massive drama and conflict of the wartime events\, they
  must be counted&amp;nbsp\; as equally important\, if not more so\, in setting
  the course of people&amp;rsquo\;s lives and fortunes. &amp;nbsp\;\n\nJoin us as a
 ward-winning author\,&amp;nbsp\;&lt;em&gt;Nichi Bei Weekly&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp\;columnist\, an
