"One comes to a book by Greg Robinson prepared to reach into the thesaurus for a dozen synonyms for 'excellent,' 'scholarly,' 'original,' 'archivally rich,' and 'clever' and string them together into sentences. The Great Unknown does not disappoint." --Paul Spickard, University of California, Santa Barbara "Each of the [selections] attest to Robinson's insatiable curiosity about and unquenchable passion for virtually every aspect of Japanese American history, society, and culture; his extraordinary expenditure of time and energy in unearthing previously unmined source material and extracting rich and engaging information and perspectives from it; and his enthralled devotion to converting his findings into fluid narrative prose pieces that are lively, thought-provoking, and far-reaching. This is truly a first-rate book." --Nichi Bei Weekly "Greg Robinson's lively and informative T he Great Unknown: Japanese American Sketches is a compilation of stories about a multitude of people, mostly Japanese Americans, but also non-Japanese allies, selected because their narratives unsettle the conventional narrative of Japanese America. The book is a model of engaging and accessible public scholarship, thoroughly grounded in archival research." -- American Quarterly.
