Dive into a rich exploration of Japanese-American heritage with A Buried Past, a comprehensive annotated bibliography detailing the Japanese American Research Project Collection at UCLA. This vital resource curates Japanese-language primary and secondary sources, illuminating the lives and experiences of Japanese immigrants and their descendants. By emphasizing historical perspectives beyond World War II internment, the bibliography fills critical gaps in the study of Japanese immigrant society's origins, contributions, and evolution, offering scholars an invaluable foundation for research. With meticulous organization and context-driven annotations, the work highlights rare and significant materials, including dissertations, theses, and microfilms, to foster a deeper understanding of the community's history.

Perfect for historians, sociologists, and researchers in Asian American studies, A Buried Past captures a neglected yet essential narrative of Japanese-American history. This bibliography not only provides access to invaluable archival sources but also challenges previous exclusion-centric historiography, encouraging the use of Japanese-language materials for a more nuanced and comprehensive study. Supported by contributions from the Japanese American Citizens League and other institutions, this work stands as a beacon for future investigations into the cultural and historical journey of Japanese Americans.
