SUMMARY:Baseball Behind Barbed Wire
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nStories of Japanese Americans who were stripped of their constitutional rights during World War II and how the “America’s Pastime” was a means of enduring and escaping their imprisonment. It brought a sense of normalcy to their very abnormal lives and created a social and positive atmosphere for these so called ‘Enemy Aliens. ’The irony that these ballplayers could travel from Gila River\, Arizona to Heart Mountain Wyoming and Colorado for baseball tournaments. In their world\, life brought a desert and they built these ‘Diamonds in the Rough.’ \nAbout the Speakers\nKerry is the author of ’Through a Diamond\,100 Years of Japanese American Baseball’ and ‘ A History of Japanese American Baseball in California.’ He is the founder and president of the non-profit Nisei Baseball Research Project\, ( NBRP )\, founding curator of ‘Bridge Across the Pacific’ international exhibit and produced curriculums with SPICE at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Book Club February Choice
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nA new twist on an old favorite! The JETAA Chicago and Japan America Society of Chicago YPC Book Club continues in 2025 with a meeting in February! \nJoin us for our next meeting on Wednesday\, Feb. 19th! \nOur book club highlights voices and stories with a solid connection to Japan. For our next meeting\,  we chose “We’ll Prescribe You A Cat\,” by Syou Ishida. Tucked away on the fifth floor of an old building at the end of a narrow alley in Kyoto\, the Nakagyō Kokoro Clinic for the Soul can be found only by struggling people who genuinely need help. The mysterious clinic offers a unique treatment to those who find their way there: it prescribes cats as medication. \nBe sure to pick up a copy of the book and join us for an evening of casual discussion in a virtual space via Zoom! Registrations are limited\, so grab a spot while you can! \nFor registration\, click here \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to info@jetaachicago.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
