	Nisei in Australia during WW2
		A Nisei was a second-generation Japanese American who was trained in such skills as the translation of Japanese documents written in the complex and polyalphabetic Japanese language.
		Nisei's who were sent to Australia were assigned to the Allied Translator and Interpreter Service (ATIS) at Indooroopilly in Brisbane.
		Nisei personnel who handled much of the interpretation were housed almost directly across the Brisbane river in Neilson House, which is now a home for geriatrics.

		Nisei," who are US-born children of Japanese immigrants.
		The Nisei Lounge is a reminder that it wasn't too long ago that Japanese people were viewed with scrutiny, and places like the Nisei were one of the few where Japanese Americans could congregate comfortably.

		The story-dance tribute opens with an old nisei looking at his photo album with his granddaughter as memories of his years as a soldier come to life.
		"Nisei" is performed to original music by Keith Hall and Taki Rentaro, Johann Pachelbel's "Canon" and the U.S. Army's official song, "The Caisson." Excerpts from President Roosevelt's "Day of Infamy" speech and President Truman's "Atomic Bomb" announcement are included in the score.

	Review of "Nisei" and "731"
		By the end of this two part story, I was feeling at least as boxed in by the 'revelations' of the script as I did at the end of "Paper Clip".
		"Nisei" opens with a clandestine autopsy interrupted by masked and uniformed men who machine-gun the surgeons and pack away the patient, who appears to be an alien in the brief glimpse we get of it.
		Both directors used reflections in interesting ways: I liked the scene in "Nisei" when the Japanese diplomat's face is reflected in the interrogation room window against Walter Skinner, the television reflecting the whole living room in "731".

	Claudia's Nisei Comments
		In "Nisei" Mulder doesn't have Scully there to hold him back so he knowingly risks his life when he jumps onto the train even after Scully warns him that they know what he is up to and most likely will kill him if they find him on the train.
		We return to the alien/govt/conspicary in "Nisei" so it means we are returning to a confusing and all over the place storyline where we the viewers are not too sure what is going on.
		Nah, I don't think so, but "Nisei" has to be one of the better episodes that deals with this storyline because it has been presented in a more coherent fashion than in previous episodes.

	Nisei Japanese American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During WWII, Americans of Japanese ancestry living in the western United States, including the Nisei, were forcibly interned with their parents (the Issei Japanese Americans) and children (the Sansei Japanese Americans), because the government feared that they would support Japan.
		The initial training facility for the Nisei to prepare for their function was at Camp Savage in Savage, Minnesota.
		The topic of Nisei (and not Japanese Americans per se) is part of the mandated high school history curriculum of many states, including New York State, New Jersey, and California.

		Two UNL Nisei students were so concerned about proving their patriotism that they joined a newly formed, all-Japanese Army unit.
		Many, but not all Nisei men and women were excited about joining the war effort.

	H-Net Review: Jonathan Dresner on Nisei/Sansei: Shifting Japanese American Identities and Politics
		Nisei used education both to improve their prospects and to delay their return to the ethnic economy.
		Higher education was frequently segregated, and many Nisei reported that as the first time they experienced personal experiences with racism as well as the beginning of their strong ethnic identity.
		The success of educated Nisei in the post-war economy, though certainly connected with values of education shared between the white and Japanese middle-class communities, contrasts sharply with the experience of pre-war Nisei, and suggests changes in the racial structure of society.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: As group dwindles, Nisei recall war duty
		By 1946 some 6,000 of these young Nisei had become part of the Army's program, valued for their fluency in the language and culture of the Japanese.
		McNaughton said the Nisei were instrumental in turning a former enemy into an ally, in having Japanese veterans decide to take part in the rebuilding of Japan.
		At the same time that they were essentially acting as spokesmen for America, the Nisei knew that back in the United States their relatives had been uprooted and faced loss of businesses and livelihoods when they were relocated to camps.

	Maui memorial center honors Nisei veterans - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		WAILUKU, Maui — The Nisei veterans who fought in World War II now have a "living memorial" on Maui that provides care and activities for young children and the elderly while ensuring the soldiers' valor and community contributions are not forgotten.
		Along with the Hawai'i-born Nisei soldiers of the 100th Infantry Battalion, the 442nd saw some of the fiercest battles in Italy and France, with both groups among the most highly decorated in Army history.
		Planning for the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center began nearly 25 years ago with Leonard Oka, whose father, Clarence "Hekka" Oka, was a member of the 442nd.

	[No title]
		The memorial center is meant to honor Maui’s veterans from the 442nd and 100th units; most of the 442nd and 100th soldiers were nisei, or second generation, Americans of Japanese ancestry.
		Though veterans and their families had been talking about a memorial center for the nisei veterans for several years, the project was jump-started in 1987 when Alexander & Baldwin donated a 2-acre lot for the center along Kahului Beach Road.
		The nisei center is meant to be an intergenerational center, and from planning to implementation, the center is true to that intent, said Leonard Oka, the president of the Maui Sons and Daughters of Nisei Veterans, and secretary for the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center.

	Eric L. Muller, A Penny For Their Thoughts: Draft Resistance At The Poston Relocation Center, 68 Law & Contemp. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The Nisei's military status remained the same for over a year while they and their parents were evicted from their homes along the coast and warehoused in assembly and relocation centers.
		Registration teams were at all ten of the WRA camps simultaneously, and at many of the camps their efforts triggered open resistance and protest that caused the process to drag on for days and even weeks longer than the army had anticipated.
		The Nisei response to the draft at the Poston Relocation Center simply did not fit into neat dyadic pairings of "loyal" and "disloyal," "honorable" and "dishonorable," "courageous" and "cowardly." They were more richly human than that.

		Despite this, the War Department realized that the formation of an all-nisei unit would be good for international public relations; an all-nisei unit could counter Japan's anti-U.S. propaganda, which emphasized the discrimination that Japanese Americans faced because of their race.
		Nisei volunteers from the mainland and Hawaii and subsequent draftees comprised this unit.
		Nisei began receiving notices instructing them to report to their draft boards for a pre-induction physical examination required of all draftees.

		But while the Nisei veterans are eager to talk about the past, they are not inclined to boast about their wartime accomplishments.
		In the late 1980s, Nisei veterans led the campaign for redress that resulted in a formal apology and compensation from the U.S. government to Japanese Americans who were interned.

	Nisei Linguists and New Perspectives on the Pacific War: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		A study of the Nisei linguists promises to shed light on a third and less well-developed area, that of the essential continuity of US military policy and experience in the Far East from World War II through the Korean War, and perhaps even beyond.
		Many Nisei linguists were called back to active duty as reservists and served as linguists in Tokyo and on the battlefield.
		It may turn out that the Nisei linguists have one more contribution yet to make, and that is to help historians and their readers reach a more accurate, and more complete, understanding of the tragic events that so convulsed the Pacific fifty years ago.

	MIS and the Nisei Soldiers in the Pacific Theater
		Young Nisei had been trained in the Corps of Intelligence Police (CIP) and Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) early in 1941, and were already serving in the Pacific when the first 60 West Coast Nisei began their schooling.
		These Nisei interpreters faced unique challenges, not the least of which was the fact that, if separated from their white fellow-soldiers they could be quickly mistaken for an enemy soldier who had disguised himself as an American soldier.
		The Nisei cave flushers were effective in turning the tide of this propaganda, not only because they could speak the language of the civilians who retreated for safety to the deep caverns, but simply by their presence.

		Nisei Daughter describes the loss of property and the personal insults, the barbed wire and armed guards, the dust storms, horrible food, unfinished barracks, and barren land - and the efforts of the Japanese-Americans to maintain their ethics, family life, and belief in the United States.
		Part of Nisei Daughter's charm is the way Sone is able to weave entertaining anecdotes throughout her tale, a story which is essentially about what being Japanese American in the time around wartime America meant to her.
		Specifically, her position as a Nisei daughter -- child of first generation Japanese Americans -- is the focus of this tale.

	History of Nisei Week
		Nisei Week became an instrument not only to revive and revitalize Little Tokyo's economic base, but to expose the non-Japanese audience out there to the Nisei's message that the successors to the Issei were a generation of Americans.
		But from the outset, the Nisei organizers planned their attractions around the best they could offer in ondo dancing, Japanese floral arrangements, tea ceremonies, martial arts, fashion shows, kimono-clad queen and attendants, calligraphy, art shows, and talent programs, in the hope that the transpacific cultural bridge would somehow flower and bloom.
		As Southern California's population continues to explode, Nisei Week draws visitors from around the globe as well as participation from the third, fourth, and fifth generations descended from its founders.

	MIS Nor-Cal Veterans Honor Nisei Draft Resisters
		Nisei draft resisters refused to be drafted from behind barbed wire until their citizenship rights were clarified and their families released from internment camps.
		The history of the Nisei draft resisters has been brought out only recently, with earlier Japanese American history books — written with a JACL slant —omitting their story from so-called "history" texts.
		During the panel presentation, Karl Kinaga of the San Jose JACL argued that some of the Nisei resisted because they were "pro-Japan," an allegation that was quickly dismissed by Koshiyama.
