Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit
                          by Diana Morita Cole, Award-Winning Author

PictureDesign by Arnold Hidaka













Diaspora Press announces the publication and launch of Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit, the story of Diana Morita Cole's birth in Minidoka, an Idaho concentration camp, during World War II and her family's subsequent displacement to Chicago. In the Windy City, she meets William Minoru Hohri, who launches a class action suit against the US government for the wrongful incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans, and Iva Toguri who had been wrongfully accused of being "Tokyo Rose" and sent to imprison.

The postscript to Sideways is dedicated to the diaspora of Japanese Canadians with special reference to Roy Miki's birth.
