A wonderful journey

This is a wonderful book. I have re-read it several times. I lived in Santa Cruz, California for many years, and I personally know some of the people he wrote about so accurately and insightfully, although I unfortunately do not know Mr. Houston.

Wonderful--Speaks to the future of our humanity!

This is kind of a joyful, thoughtful, updated FAREWELL TO MANZANAR, a modern journey around the Pacific Basin to see the context of our oneness as a people, the future of how we will coexist as Americans and Asians and Amerasians. Examines in a playful way the similarities we share as peoples, and the lessons we learn from each other about our cultures--our histories, and our shared humanity. Important lessons for the future as the boundaries fall away. Highly recommended
