Exiled to Motown

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative explores the experiences of Nisei in Detroit, who found a temporary refuge after being displaced from their homes. They joined a Japanese American community established by early immigrants drawn to the auto industry. As many returned to the West Coast post-war, those who remained navigated the challenges of family life amid racial tensions and economic decline, facing the dual struggles of identity and belonging in a changing landscape.
