Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit
Diaspora Press announces the publication and launch of Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit, the story of Diana Morita Cole's birth in Minidoka, the Idaho concentration camp, during World War II and her family's subsequent displacement to Chicago. In the Windy City, she meets William Minoru Hohri and Iva Toguri, who was wrongfully identified as "Tokyo Rose" and imprisoned. The postscript to Sideways is dedicated to the Canadian diaspora of Nikkei with special reference to Roy Miki's birth.
