Description
An issue titled as: Biography of a Nisei celery farmer from Venice, California. The account, partially biographical, partially an account on social and economic life of a Californian community, is the result of many interviews with a Nisei farmer. As part of his story, Mr. X told the interviewer of the early days of his Japanese-born parents in America and how he became head of the family and a farm operator when he was 16 years old. He described the methods of producing and marketing celery and the kind of life he and his neighbors led in the Venice community. The collection contains material used by Carey McWilliams in writing the book, Prejudice: Japanese Americans, symbol of racial intolerance (Little, Brown, 1944). It includes U.S. War Relocation Authority records, confidential reports, bibliographies, clippings and compilations of articles, legal papers, correspondence between McWilliams and Japanese American evacuees, relocation camp newspapers and other publications, two copies of his book, and five copies of the 1994 videocassette (40 min.), Something Strong Within.
