<B>From bathhouses to birthing centers, a haunting topography of lost Japanese American culture.</B><BR>Quietly elegant, yet issuing a clarion call for intervention, <I>Sento at Sixth and Main</I> rediscovers early Japanese American culture and presents an indisputable case for the preservation of ten key landmarks in California and Washington. The authors re-create the Japanese American experience, intertwining rich oral histories from community members with current and historical photographs, plus personal snapshots, archaeological findings, newspaper clippings and other wonderfully nontraditional sources.<BR>So much of the Japanese American past was lost after the attack on Pearl Harbor; terrified families burned scrapbooks and personal possessions for fear they would be labeled as traitors. <I>Sento at Sixth and Main</I> is a graceful effort to find that past and to explain that, even now, it is still not too late to include these places as part of the American cultural landscape. 172 b/w photographs and illustrations.
