DESCRIPTION:The JAMsj Book Club will discuss the book\n<strong>Nothing Left
  in My Hands\n</strong>by <strong>Kazuko Nakane</strong>\n<strong></strong
 ><strong></strong>\n<strong>Note: The book club now meets the first Saturd
 ay of every other month starting with this June event.</strong>\n\n"Nothin
 g Left in My Hands is a moving portrait of the lives of early Japanese imm
 igrants in Pajaro Valley\, California. Regarded as highly skilled berry gr
 owers\, the Issei—first-generation Japanese immigrants—were instrument
 al in the development of strawberry farming in the region. Nakane intervie
 wed those still living in the area in the early 1980s and\, in Nothing Lef
 t in My Hands\, used their own words to narrate their progress in America\
 , from their lives as farmers to the trying periods of anti-immigrant legi
 slation and banishment to internment camps during World War II\, and final
 ly to the resumption of their lives after the war."\n\nThe book club is al
 ways open to new members. Selections are chosen collaboratively at the end
  of each meeting and align with the JAMsj mission: the celebration of Japa
 nese American art\, history\, and culture. Books may be purchased at the J
 AMsj museum store.\n\nIf you have questions\, please contact Aggie Idemoto
