	Japanese American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese Americans are a group of people who trace their ancestry to Japan or Okinawa and are residents and/or citizens of the United States.
		Japanese Americans also have the oldest demographic structure of any ethnic group in the U.S.; in addition, in the younger generations, due to intermarriage with whites and other Asians, part-Japanese are more common than full Japanese, and it appears as if this physical assimilation will continue at a rapid rate.
		Americans of Japanese ancestry living in the western United States, including the Nisei were, forcibly interned with their parents and children (the Sansei Japanese Americans) during WWII.

	Sansei Japanese American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most Sansei were born during the Baby Boom after the end of World War II.
		Older Sansei who were living in the western United States during WWII were forcibly interned with their parents and grandparents (Issei Japanese Americans) after the issuance of Executive Order 9066.
		The Sansei played a leading activist role in a redress movement, which culminated in a bill signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 which provided an official apology and $20,000 restitution for each of the 60,000 survivors (about half of the total internees).

		Because of this influx, the Japanese became the dominant population on the islands.
		It is thought that thousands of young Japanese male laborers came from Hawaii and Japan in 1885 to work on railroads, to pick fruit and vegetables for canneries, or to work in industries such as logging, mining, and meatpacking.
		As a result, Japanese Americans are considered the most acculturated and assimilated Asian subgroup and they have been characterized as a "model minority." But in spite of their overall success and achievements, many factors may hinder successful aging for today's diverse older Japanese American population: (Yeo, et al, 1999, pg.

		Japanese began migrating to Hawai'i in the 1880s, and when Hawai'i became a territory of the United States at the turn of the century, Japanese began emigrating to North America by the tens of thousands.
		Japanese American acquiescence in wartime internment and the emphasis on educational and economic success has created an impression of political apathy that is, in the opinion of Takahashi, undeserved.
		The biographical discussion of Sansei is limited to two individuals, who are both Nisei and Sansei by birth; more troubling is the fact that both are progressive activists, so the political and racial thought of the larger community is not portrayed with the kind of depth, humanity or complexity that characterizes the earlier chapters.

	Japanese American Baseball History Project
		At its core, Japanese American baseball makes an eloquent statement of pride and possibility and is truly a reflection of the "heart and mind" of a community which has sought to fulfill the promise of America for one hundred years.
		When Japanese immigrants made the voyage across the Pacific to America during the last decades of the nineteenth century, they not only brought with them dreams of success, they brought a knowledge and appreciation for baseball back to the land of its origins.
		The earliest known mainland Japanese American baseball team is the San Francisco Fujii club, a team of Issei players which formed in 1903, the first year of the modern World Series.

	history
		All people of Japanese ancestry were given a week to ten days to conclude any business, lock up their homes and report to a designated location on a specified date with no more baggage than they could carry.
		Japanese Americans were then designated 1-A and told that they were eligible to volunteer for service in a segregated, all-Japanese unit which would serve in Europe.
		However, the 1960s and early 1970s were witness to the Civil Rights movement, and a number of "Sansei" (third generation Japanese Americans) began a movement for redress in an effort to force the United States government to admit to the injustices it had inflicted upon their parents and grandparents.

		In telling the story of the community's complex and dynamic relationship to the larger society, he highlights individuals who contributed to the struggles and debates that paved the way for the emergence of a distinct Japanese American identity.
		In contrast, Takahashi's study is premised on the existence of crucial subsets within the Nisei generation and presents those subsets in terms of different Nisei responses to racial subordination within a larger economic context.
		This is at once the strength and originality of Takahashi's work which explains the triumph of the accommodationist response among the Nisei during and after World War II and the emergence of Sansei militance in the late 1960's....
