	Pacific Affairs: Book reviews -- Stories of My People: A Japanese Canadian Journal by Roy Ito (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		As he explains it, Ito traces the history of Japanese Canadians through his recording of individual life stories, from the arrival of the first immigrantin 1877 to the achievement of redress for wartime wrongs in 1988.
		This generic ambivalence is further complicated by Ito's fashioning of the text as his journal, and the provocative prelude in which Ito imagines a Japanese Canadian reunion in his "field of dreams"--the site of the internment camp at Lemon Creek--starring the community's baseball team of the 1920s and 1930s, the Asahi.
		For example, in their recording of Japanese Canadian experiences during the Second World War, such histories have exploited archival documentation from the popular press which supports the image of Japanese Canadians as submissive victims.
