The book was originally published in 1971 by John Weatherhill, Inc, with a foreword by James Michener.\n </p>\n <p>\n Five years before World War II began, Okimoto's parents settled in the United States as Christian missionaries who were eager to raise a family in a Christian nation. His father began a successful ministry in California, where Okimoto and his three siblings were born. In 1942, the Okimoto family was incarcerated in camp at\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Poston_(Colorado_River)\" title=\"Poston (Colorado River)\">\n Poston\n </a>\n , Arizona, and later resettled in San Diego, where his father resumed his ministry, then to Pasadena in 1956. In 1960, Okimoto studied at Princeton University (B.A. 1965), and Harvard (M.A.1967), leading to graduate studies in history and international relations at Tokyo University. He spent three years in Tokyo, searching for his place in his parents' homeland, while simultaneously encountering student protests and political strife in a changing, postwar Japan. The memoir also addresses Okimoto's personal questions and viewpoints on loyalty during the Vietnam war, identity politics and interracial marriage. Okimoto received his Ph.D in political science from Michigan in 1977 and has served on the faculty at Stanford since 1976. He is the co-founder of Asia / Pacific Research Center, specializing in the political economy of Japan.\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Brian_Niiya\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n <p>\n Might also like:\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit (book)/\" title=\"Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit (book)\">\n Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit\n </a>\n </i>\n by Diana Morita Cole;\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/The Little Exile (book)/\" title=\"The Little Exile (book)\">\n The Little Exile\n </a>\n </i>\n by Jeanette S.
