SUMMARY:UH Press 75th Anniversary Book Talk Series
DESCRIPTION:October 5\, 2022. 4:00pm Hamilton Library\, Room 306 and on 
 Zoom\nRegister in advance for this 
 meeting:\nhttps://hawaii.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIrfuqvrjMjHdMwT-KpbkkGZfroV6lCbJo_\n\nTom 
 Coffman will talk about his recent book Inclusion: How Hawai’i Protected 
 Japanese Americans from Mass Internment\, Transformed Itself\, And Changed 
 America (UH Press – August 2021). Following December 7\, 1941\, the 
 United States government interned 120\,000 people of Japanese ancestry 
 evicted from scattered settlements throughout the West Coast states\, the 
 book asks why was a much larger number concentrated in the Hawaiian Islands 
 war zone not similarly incarcerated? At the root of the story is an 
 inclusive community that worked from the ground up to protect an embattled 
 segment of its population. While the onset of World War II surprised the 
 American public\, war with Japan arrived in Hawai‘i in slow motion. 
 Responding to numerous signs of impending conflict\, the Council for 
 Interracial Unity mapped two goals: minimize internment and maximize 
 inclusion in the war effort.\n\nTom Coffman is a political reporter and 
 author of six books\, including Nation Within and Catch a Wave. His widely 
 aired documentaries include First Battle\, Arirang\, and Ninoy Aquino and 
 the Rise of People Power. He is a three-time recipient of the Hawai‘i 
 Book Publishers Association’s award for nonfiction\, and for his 
 cumulative work he received the Hawai‘i Award for Literature.
