About this product

Product Information

In The Great Unknown, award-winning historian and journalist Greg Robinson offers a fascinating and compulsively readable collection of biographical portraits of extraordinary but unheralded figures in Japanese American history: men and women who made remarkable contributions in the arts, literature, law, sports, and other fields. Recovering and celebrating the stories of noteworthy Issei and Nisei and of their supporters, The Great Unknown provides powerful evidence of the diverse experiences and substantial cultural, political, and intellectual contributions of Nikkei throughout the country and over multiple decades. What is more, The Great Unknown reshapes our understanding of the Asian American experience. By focusing attention on exceptional figures who deviated from social norms, Robinson subverts stereotypes of ethnic Japanese and other Asians as conformist or colorless. The collection also highlights a set of recurring themes absent from conventional histories--including the lives of Japanese Americans outside the West Coast, the role of women in shaping community life, encounters between Japanese American and African American communities during the struggle for civil rights, and the evolving status of queer community members.

Reviews
"One comes to a book by Greg Robinson prepared to reach into the thesaurus for a dozen synonyms for 'excellent,' 'scholarly,' 'original,' 'archivally rich,' and 'clever' and string them together into sentences. The Great Unknown does not disappoint." --Paul Spickard, University of California, Santa Barbara "Each of the [selections] attest to Robinson's insatiable curiosity about and unquenchable passion for virtually every aspect of Japanese American history, society, and culture; his extraordinary expenditure of time and energy in unearthing previously unmined source material and extracting rich and engaging information and perspectives from it; and his enthralled devotion to converting his findings into fluid narrative prose pieces that are lively, thought-provoking, and far-reaching. . . . This is truly a first-rate book." --Nichi Bei Weekly, "One comes to a book by Greg Robinson prepared to reach into the thesaurus for a dozen synonyms for 'excellent,' 'scholarly,' 'original,' 'archivally rich,' and 'clever' and string them together into sentences.
