Product Description
Teaching Mikadoism is a dynamic and nuanced look at the Japanese language school controversy that originated in the Territory of Hawaii in 1919. At the time, ninety-eight percent of Hawaii’s Japanese American children attended Japanese language schools. Sugar plantation managers endorsed these schools, but after witnessing the assertive role of the Japanese in the 1920 labor strike, they joined public school educators and the Office of Naval Intelligence in labeling them anti-American and urged their suppression. Thus the "Japanese language school problem" became a means of controlling Hawaii’s largest ethnic group. The debate quickly surfaced in California and Washington, where powerful activists sought to curb Japanese immigration and economic advancement. Language schools were accused of indoctrinating Mikadoism to Japanese American children as part of Japan’s plan to colonize the United States.

Previously unexamined archival documents and oral history interviews highlight Japanese immigrants’ resistance and their efforts to foster traditional Japanese values in their American children. They also reveal complex fissures of class and religion within the Japanese communities themselves: The language school debate in Hawaii originated with the rivalry between elite Christian assimilationists who opposed such schools and Buddhist plantation laborers who strongly supported them. A comparative analysis of the Japanese communities in Hawaii, California, and Washington presents a clear picture of what historian Yuji Ichioka called the "distinctive histories" as well as the shared experiences of Japanese Americans. Within this framework, the history of the Japanese language school is central to the Japanese American struggle to secure fundamental rights in the United States.

Eight decades later, the Japanese language school debate remains relevant in the context of ethnic diversity in education today. Teaching Mikadoism! shifts the focus of research on Japanese language schools from an institutional perspective to a more layered approach that provides a deeper historical background to civil rights issues in a multicultural America. ...

I like this book
This is not a bad book for nephrology. It gives you essential details regarding nephrology but it doesn't go into details. But it is beneficial.

Room for Improvement!
Nephrologist. Read from front to back. Excellent brief review manual with great potential. However, way too many typo's!!! Hopefully the editors/publisher will correct them in the next edition. . . ... Read more

The "Go To" book, for a new 1st year Fellow
After 6 months of Endocrine Fellowship at a large tertiary care teaching facility, this book has not let me down.By its nature, there are few times when Endocrinology won't give you time to look on Up to Date or search the primary literature for the answer.However, when managing multiple requests for assistance while seeing a clinic full of pathology you haven't heard of since medical school, this book will always have the quick answer.One of my mentors recommended I read this prior to Fellowship, and it has paid dividends.I recommend the same, as this is a good base to rapidly build the rest of your knowledge base off of.

User friendly reference
As a nurse practitioner in endo I find this little reference book a good intro to endo and a starting place for those who are not specializing and/or those who are RNs to learn more about the complicated world of endo. I did not learn a great deal of endo in nursing years back. This book provides a good starting point. The residents find it useful as well. ... Read more
