A 1.48-square-mile piece of unincorporated Los Angeles County when it was annexed by the City of Los Angeles in 1922, tiny Sawtelle has lived very large in the hearts and minds of Japanese Americans. Their homes, livelihoods, religions, businesses, language, and other ethnocentric and social involvements are rooted in the area, with the Japanese Institute of Sawtelle as the cultural nexus. Bisected by Sawtelle Boulevard, this particular Japantown flourished through a close-knit network of immigrants who were denied citizenship until 1952 and were excluded by law from land ownership. Only through second-generation, American-born children could they buy real property. These vintage imagescollected from local families, businesses, and organizationsprovide rare glimpses into the Japanese immigrant experience in Los Angeles.
Author Jack Fujimoto, Ph.D., is a 50-year resident of Sawtelle. He has been president of the Japanese Institute of Sawtelle and its Japanese language school for more than a decade. He has also served as president of the West L.A. Buddhist Temple, the Japanese American Historical Society of Southern California, and several community colleges. He was the first Nisei to head a mainland U.S. college when he became president of Sacramento City College in 1977.
If you’re expecting a steamy M/M read, this isn’t one for you. These are gifts to aid us in worship, to get us from earth to heaven, but the familiarity with them actually hinders their utility. This is a book for a serious learner. Kilstein isn't interested in helping beginning writers, just in stealing from those trying to learn how to make it in the biz. He carefully traces peacemaking themes through each author in the New Testament. An interesting addition to her narrative is her personal 72-hour experiences of living on a dollar a day. 2
05. Reminds me a lot of Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, yet with more of a sense of hope. This book surprised me! First of all, I didn't expect it to be such a fun stepbrother romance. This volume brings a story that was incomplete in Volume 3 (The Menace of Maple Leaves) and, like the rest of the collection is very well edited, with an introduction by Blake Bell brings the context of this phase. This novella is a bridg
