Description:
In 2005, Mary Matsuda Gruenewald celebrated her eightieth birthday as well as the publication of her first book. She began writing her story in her seventies, no longer willing to stay within what she describes as "the self-imposed barbed-wire fenced built around my experiences in the camps." With her book Looking Like The Enemy, Gruenewald breaks her silence as a Nisei, American-born second generation child of Isseis. At this presentation, Mary will share with the audience the emotional and psychological essence of what it was like to grow up in the midst of this profound dislocation and injustice in the United States, the challenges and wounds of her internment at a crucial point in her development as a young adult...what she learns from her experience and what she is able to do with her life. After the presentation, Mary will sign her books for FEW members and guests. For more information about this event and FEW, please go to the website www.fewjapan.com
