I am thrilled to announce The Nail That Sticks Out: Growing up Japanese Canadian in Postwar Toronto is being published by Dundurn Press.
This fourth-generation account is a unique hybrid memoir exploring an evolving community through memories of places, events and traditions while tackling issues of identity, belonging and racism.
Through the lens of wartime incarceration, family honour, traditional arts and human connection, it celebrates the historical and cultural contributions of the Japanese Canadian community to the Toronto landscape. Publication is expected for October 2024. Sign up to receive advance notice.
