This book explores how Japanese Americans have developed traditions of complex silences to survive historic moments of racial and religious marginalization and how they continue to adapt these traditions today. Utilizing case studies and histories of the Japanese American arts of gardening, origami, jazz, and monuments, Brett Esaki provides a theory of silence that goes beyond the binary of sound and its absence to articulate the multiple layers of silence that exist for Japanese Americans.
