Sanemi Karishuu

Sanemi Karishuu

For this entry, there is the kanji of 和 (wa) listed above the place of origin. I think this may be a misprint or mistake becaue the previous prefecture listed is Kagoshima (鹿児島), but the subsequent prefecture is Wakayama (和歌山). The meaning is unclear but I think this makes the most sense.

Terminology

Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
