Karen Tei Yamashita's new novel, "Questions 27 & 28," draws on the controversial Japanese American Evacuation and Resettlement Study (JERS) from World War II to explore themes of loyalty and identity through a fictionalized account of historical figures, blending humor with the complexities of the Japanese American experience during internment, while positioning itself as a companion to John Okada's seminal work, "No-No Boy." #JapaneseAmericanHistory #Literature #CivilRights #JP #US
