Farewell to
Manzanar Read
Description
'A poignant memoir from a Japanese American. . . . Told without
bitterness, her story reflects the triumph of the human spirit during an
extraordinary episode in American history.'—Library Journal '[Jeanne
Wakatsuki Houston] describes vividly the life in the camp and the
humiliations suffered by the detainees... A sober and moving personal
account.'—Publishers Weekly “[This] book provides an often vivid,
impressionistic picture of how the forced isolation affected the
internees. All in all, a dramatic, telling account of one of the most
reprehensible events in the history of Americaâ€s treatment of its
minorities.―—New York Times “A classic.―—Los Angeles Times Â

where she met her husband and cowriter of her memoir Farewell to
Manzanar, James D. Houston. For their teleplay for the NBC television
drama based on Farewell to Manzanar, they received the prestigious
Humanitas Prize. Jeanneâ€s widely anthologized essays and short stories
were first collected in Beyond Manzanar: Views of Asian American
Womanhood. Her works have earned numerous honors, including a United
States-Japan Cultural Exchange Fellowship; a Rockefeller Foundation
residence at Bellagio, Italy; and a 1984 Wonder Woman Award, given to
women over forty who have made outstanding achievements in pursuit of
truth and positive social change.  James D. Houston (1933–2009) was
the author of several novels and nonfiction works exploring the history
and cultures of the western United States and the Asia/Pacific region.
His works include Snow Mountain Passage, Continental Drift, In the Ring
of Fire: A Pacific Basin Journey, and The Last Paradise, which received
a 1999 American Book Award for fiction. A former Wallace Stegner Fellow
at Stanford, Jim received a National Endowment for the Arts writing
