2007 Holiday Issue
Welcome to the 2007 Holiday Issue, our annual 120-page special issue. This year the staff has selected the theme: "POV: Generation A to Z," a look at Japanese American and Asian American youth through the generations. With the help of more than 30 contributors, the P.C. will take you on a journey through the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, with corresponding articles from JA and AA youth of today.
Below are four articles that appeared in the 2007 Holiday Issue. To order the full 120-page issue, e-mail: circulation@pacificcitizen.org.
Identity Version 2.0 (2007)
Personalized Web sites and all-about-me blogs - we've come a long way from a generation that didn't want to be noticed, to a generation that can't get enough attention.
T-Shirts, Lattes and Assimilation (2007)
Let's put down our iPods and hold off on the text-messaging just long enough to appreciate the sacrifices of our ancestors. Maybe some of us will even be inspired to continue the fight for human rights.
Ayamachi: The Hiroshima Lesson (1970s)
In 1978, Richard Yamasaki was one of 42 youths to win a JACL-Japan Airlines cultural heritage fellowship for a seven-week stay in Japan. There he visited Hiroshima, the city where his grandfather lived before coming to the U.S.
San Francisco State: An Inside View (1960s)
In 1969, John Sugiyama was elected chair of the JACL Northern California Western Nevada District Youth Council. He was also a junior at San Francisco State during one of the longest, most costly and militant student strikes in California history.
