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'd been imprisoned and wrongfully identified as "Tokyo Rose."

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

Sideways is part of the permanent collections at the Nikkei National Museum and Culture Centre, the Japanese American National Library, and the National Diet Library of Japan.
