Synopsis
All I Asking For Is My Bods by Milton Murayama is a well-acclaimed book, which outlines the life of Japanese Americans in Hawaii in the early 1900's and leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. From filial responsiblity and the state of the socio-economic culture to the plantation lifestyle, poverty and racial divides, this book covers the raw experience in it's glory and misery alike. The narration is kept in traditional English, but the majority of the dialogue is in Hawaiian pidgin creole, which provides a realistic setting while effectively capturing the differences in communication between the ways the first and second generations of Japanese Americans in Hawaii.
