Reshaping Memory, Owning History: Through the Lens of Japanese Canadian Redress 日本語 My Year of MeatsThe Canadian governments acknowledgement of injustice and compensation on September 22, 1988 redressed this terrible wrong in Canadas past. Layers of voices, drawn from documents of internment, newspapers, books, poetry, diaries, letters, and oral histories, together with poignant photographic images and memory laden artifacts, speak to losses and absences, and of issues of community, identity, representation, and human rights.
