Page iii ASIAN AMERICA A series edited by Gordon H. Chang The increasing size and diversity of the Asian American population, its growing significance in American society and culture, and the expanded appreciation, both popular and scholarly, of the importance of Asian Americans in the country's present and pastall these developments have converged to stimulate wide interest in scholarly work on topics related to the Asian American experience. The general recognition of the pivotal role that race and ethnicity have played in American life, and in relations between the United States and other countries, has also fostered this heightened attention. Although Asian Americans were a subject of serious inquiry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, they were subsequently ignored by the mainstream scholarly community for several decades. In recent years, however, this neglect has ended, with an increasing number of writers examining a good many aspects of Asian American life and culture. Moreover, many students of American society are recognizing that the study of issues related to Asian America speak to, and may be essential for, many current discussions on the part of the informed public and various scholarly communities. The Stanford series on Asian America seeks to address these interests. The series will include work from the humanities and social sciences, including history, anthropology, political science, American studies, law, literary criticism, sociology, and interdisciplinary and policy studies.

As a souvenir of this event I wish to leave this autographed photograph to Kei. Yamato." (Woodrow Ichihashi)

Page vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The interest and help of Woodrow and Alyce Ichihashi made this book possible, and I thank them for all that they have done and for their friendship. Many colleagues around the country provided invaluable intellectual and moral support, but I especially want to acknowledge the constant and unselfish assistance of Yuji Ichioka, a pioneer in the writing of Asian American history. Barton Bernstein, Albert Camarillo, Estelle Freedman, George Fredrickson, David Kennedy, and Valerie Matsumoto all gave of their valuable time to read various drafts of the manuscript and provided me with exceptionally useful comments. This book is certainly better because of them. I also wish to thank other colleagues and friends who read portions of the work or extensively discussed the Ichihashis' lives and times with me; these include Harumi Befu, John Johnson, George Knoles, Seizo Oka, Gordon and Louise Wright, and Richard Yuen. My Stanford colleagues Peter Duus, Jeffrey Mass, and Jim Ketelaar patiently and constructively responded to my queries about Japanese history and culture. I also wish to acknowledge the help of others who made completing this difficult project easier. Thank you Kim de St. Paer, Mae Lee, Jing Li, Ron Nakao, Steve Pitti, Nancy Stalker, and Daishi Torii. Thank you, too, to all the students who contributed to the History of Asian Americans at Stanford Project and constantly uncovered fascinating gems of information about the University's history. I also express my appreciation to Stanford's Center for International Security and Arms Control, Center for East Asian Studies, and Humanities Center for financial sup-

Page viii port for this project. The Humanities Center, where I was a fellow for 199495, provided a most congenial environment for scholarly work. The Humanities Center, the Stanford Asian Pacific Alumni/ae Club, the Stanford Historical Society, and the Asian American Studies Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, allowed me to present ideas to them while this manuscript was a work-in-progress. I thank them and the many in their audiences who responded with valuable comments and leads for further investigation. Many Stanford nisei alumni were most generous with their time in helping me understand their long-ago college days. I thank them for their help and support. The archivists and staffs at Stanford's Green Library and its Special Collections, the Hoover Institution Archives, and the Pacific/Sierra Branch of the National Archives were all extraordinarily helpful in locating documents that form the core of this work. I also want to make a special expression of gratitude to the wonderful staff and editors at Stanford University Press, but especially to senior editor Muriel Bell, who has been a joy to work with on this and other endeavors. Her intelligence, candor, and efficiency led to improvements on every page of this book. Even more important, her support for the Stanford University Press series in Asian American studies is making a contribution of lasting and profound significance.
