Kesaya E. Noda

Noda protested recent U.S. involvement in Iraq on a site called Poets Against the War. On her page you'll find some biographical information, a protest poem called "Make Us See," and a statement to President George W. Bush.

Here's a bit of information about a poem of Noda's called "On Earth as in Heaven" in FriendsJournal. Note that the text of the poem is not online. What would be the best way to find it?

Are you interested in researching topics raised in this essay, but not sure where to start? This page offers links on the general topic of Asian-American history, and it's a fine general starting point for your research in the area.

Another approach to research on Asian Americans: Here's a "core bibliography" called "100 Titles: A Basic Library on Japanese Americans."

Yet another approach: The Japanese American National Museum created the Manabi and Sumi Hirasaki National Resource Center with links to topics ranging from concentration camps to collection guides to research projects.
