Sumario: | "This book was originally written as a series of three volumes on Japanese cultural traditions in British Columbia, southern Alberta, and Metropolitan Toronto. The three authors - Dr. Carlo Caldarola, Dr. Mitsuru Shimpo and Dr. K. Victor Ujimoto - conducted their research and fieldwork in the mid-1970s, examining how long-held traditions and beliefs had been affected by profound social upheaval. The result is a snapshot in time, profiling the unique history of each region's Japanese-Canadians, and how they were responding to the effects of diaspora, internment, prejudice and assimilation. A wide range of cultural traditions, from Buddhism to the martial arts, are explored through firsthand accounts, archival photographs, and in-depth descriptions of specific practices as they existed at the time. Over the past 30 years, Japanese culture has become part of the Canadian mainstream - bearing witness to the vitality of the practices described in these pages, and the determination with which Japanese-Canadians kept their traditions alive."--Jacket |
