Asian American readers will appreciate the sensitivity and integrity with which the late John Okada wrote about his own group. He heralded the beginning of an authentic Japanese American literature.

Foreword / Ruth OzekiIntroduction / Lawrence Fusao InadaPreface No-No Boy Afterword: In Search of John Okada / Frank Chin
Synopsis
No-No Boy has the honor of being among the first of what has become an entire literary canon of Asian American literature,? writes novelist Ruth Ozeki in her new foreword. First published in 1957, No-No Boy was virtually ignored by a public eager to put World War II and the Japanese internment behind them. It was not until the mid-1970s that a new generation of Japanese American writers and scholars recognized the novel's importance and popularized it as one of literature's most powerful testaments to the Asian American experience. No-No Boy tells the story of Ichiro Yamada, a fictional version of the real-life ?no-no boys.' Yamada answered ?no? twice in a compulsory government questionnaire as to whether he would serve in the armed forces and swear loyalty to the United States. Unwilling to pledge himself to the country that interned him and his family, Ichiro earns two years in prison and the hostility of his family and community when he returns home to Seattle. As Ozeki writes, Ichiro's ?obsessive, tormented? voice subverts Japanese postwar ?model-minority? stereotypes, showing a fractured community and one man's ?threnody of guilt, rage, and blame as he tries to negotiate his reentry into a shattered world.' The first edition of No-No Boy since 1979 presents this important work to new generations of readers.|9780295955254|, " No-No Boy has the honor of being among the first of what has become an entire literary canon of Asian American literature," writes novelist Ruth Ozeki in her new foreword.

    A True Monument in Asian American Literature

    "No No Boy" is an extraordinary piece of literature for what it is, what it represents, and it's absolute daring for a novel set in 1946 (written in 1957). There simply is nothing like it in the Asian American canon of literature. The main character, Ichiro, is a young man returning home to postwar Seattle after 2 years in prison. His crime was refusing to serve in the army (after witnessing his family interned for being Japanese). The core strength of this novel, I believe, is the friendship he explores with his friend Kenji, who DID serve in the army and was severely wounded (his leg was amputated) by German machine-gun fire. Kenji adopts an American name (Ken) and drives a brand new Oldsmobile equipped to accommodate his disability. Furthermore, he gets money from the government to ...

    Eye Opener

    All of us need to read this book and share it with others. The author will finally be recognized after his death, before his story was published. Thanks to his relatives and the University of Washington it was made available to the United States and the world. An eye-opener for many of us. We need to see history as it really was. A great buy for the knowledge received! I'm sending copies to friends. You need to read it for yourself!

    A story about an interned Japanese American boy who choses not to fight for the US during WWII.

    It wasn't a riveting, can't put down book, but it did help me learn and reflect upon a part of the US's history towards Japanese Americans that I had only recently heard of before: the group of males ,called the no-no boys. The depth of despair and ostracism felt by many of the characters went deeper in causation than what one typically considers as injustices during this time in history. The issues of racism included also that towards the African American during this time frame, which is sadly still at issue. I recommend the book, not so much for its literary merits, but as a study of history and that of the human condition.

    A new perspective on the transitions of the Japanese in the U.S.

    Contains some excellent insights into members of the Japanese community in the U.S. who had hoped to return to Japan after earning money. Focuses on their children's generation's adapting to the cultural conflicts. Some excellent writing.

    Great book.

    A good view of what like was like after WW2 and with a young Japanese man who refused to go into the military.
