"Discrimination Against the Japanese in California" offers a crucial primary source perspective on the experiences of Japanese immigrants and Japanese-Americans in early 20th-century California. Authored by Herbert Buell Johnson, this historical collection sheds light on the social, economic, and political challenges faced by the Japanese community amidst rising anti-Asian sentiment. With a foreword by T. S. Wentworth, the book provides a detailed review of the real situation, challenging prevailing biases and offering insights into the contributions of the Japanese to California's development. It explores issues of land ownership, labor, and citizenship, providing valuable historical context for understanding the complexities of immigration and race relations in America.
