Vancouver BC: Talonbooks, 1991. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0889222924. Only slight wear ; A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. Laid in in back are sheets regarding related materials ; 9.25 X 0.62 X 11.25 inches; 160 pages; From 1942 to 1949, a group of innocent Canadians were uprooted from their homes and businesses on the west coast, dispossessed, and forced to disperse across Canada, merely on the basis of their Japanese ancestry. Some 4,000 were even exiled to war torn Japan. These injustices remained unresolved for nearly forty years. Then in the 1970s, a handful of Japanese Canadians began a movement to seek redress for these wrongs, through a negotiated settlement with the Government of Canada. What began as the dream of a few became a national movement that captured the attention of the entire Canadian public by the mid-1980s. The Redress Settlement signed on September 22, 1988 by the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) and the Prime Minister of Canada was hailed as a major victory for human rights. The substantial Redress Settlement negotiated by the National Association of Japanese Canadians offered: -Individual compensation to Japanese Canadians directly affected by the injustices-A community fund to assist in rebuilding the community that was destroyed-Pardons for those wrongfully convicted under the War Measures Act-The offer of citizenship to those exiled and to their descendants-The establishment of a Canadian Race Relations Foundation to combat racism.
