Looks at the lives of a number of elderly Japanese Americans who relocated to Chicago after World War II and explores race and ethnic relations in post-World War II Chicago.
Reviews
"In order for race to become and remain a 'black only thing, ' all Chicagoans, including Japanese Americans themselves, had to be convinced that Japanese Americans were not colored. They had to cross the color line. Crossing the color line meant not only not being associated with blacks and possibly other non-whites, but also not being considered a problem."
