Publisher's Synopsis

  • The first book to tell the inside story of the Japanese American campaign for redress as told by one of its principal architects in a refreshed edition with a new preface. 
  • Redress shines a light on a disgraceful episode in American history that continues to have relevance.
  • The subject of reparations continues to be a topic in the national conversation, especially reparations for Black Americans, which the author examines in the new preface to this edition. 
  • Continues Heyday's publishing on the subject of the Japanese American incarceration, following the award-winning Fred Korematsu Speaks Up (2017), Life After Manzanar (2018), Only What We Can Carry (2014), and The Poet and the Silk Girl (Spring 2024).
  • John Tateishi, was the director of the Japanese American Citizens League, there he used the lessons of the redress campaign to ensure that the rights of this nation's Arab and Muslim communities were protected after 9/11. So this is the legacy that Tateishi is interested in telling with this important story. 
  • Endorsements from Adam Hochschild, Karen Korematsu (executive director of the Fred T. Korematsu Institute), and Dale Minami, lead counsel in overturning Korematsu v. United States.
