Becoming Nisei

Japanese American Urban Lives in Prewar Tacoma

By: Lisa M. Hoffman,Mary L. Hoffman

Tacoma’s vibrant Nihonmachi of the 1920s and '30s was home to a significant number of first generation Japanese immigrants and their second generation American children, and these families formed tight-knit bonds despite their diverse religious, prefectural, and economic backgrounds. As the city’s Nisei grew up attending the secular Japanese Language School, they absorbed the Meiji-era cultural practices and ethics of the previous generation. At the same time, they positioned themselves in new and dynamic ways, including resisting their parents and pursuing lives that diverged from traditional expectations. Becoming Nisei, based on more than forty interviews, shares stories of growing up in Japanese American Tacoma before the incarceration. Recording these early twentieth-century lives counteracts the structural forgetting and erasure of prewar histories in both Tacoma and many other urban settings after World War II. Lisa Hoffman and Mary Hanneman underscore both the agency of Nisei in these processes as well as their negotiations of prevailing social and power relations.

Fate

By: Lisa M. Hoffman

The island of Sanzu is in unknown turmoil. When humans begin forgetting how to respect nature, the spirits of the land begin to wither and die. From the sorrow and suffering of the spirits a deep hatred is born, seeking to destroy everything in its path. Only the birth of a special being spoken of by the ancient keepers can restore balance. But what happens when that one has no recollection of who she is or where shes from? Cheza has lived her life in Sacama village since she was five years old. Her life has been quiet and peaceful until someone precious to her is taken away. From that moment, her life begins to fall apart as one thing after another shakes the foundation of her life. Now she must reunite herself with the only blood family she has left and travel the lands of Sanzu, collecting a precious item from the spirits to unite the lands against the evil that threatens them. But will she be able to when it means losing everything she knows and loves?

College Students with ADHD

Current Issues and Future Directions

By: Lisa L. Weyandt,George J. DuPaul

Not long ago, conventional wisdom held that ADHD was a disorder of childhood only—that somewhere during puberty or adolescence, the child would outgrow it. Now we know better: the majority of children with the disorder continue to display symptoms throughout adolescence and into adulthood. It is during the teen and young adult years that the psychological and academic needs of young people with ADHD change considerably, and clinical and campus professionals are not always sufficiently prepared to meet the challenge. College Students with ADHD is designed to bring the professional reader up to speed. The book reviews the latest findings on ADHD in high school and college students, assessment methods, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Practical guidelines are included for helping young adults make the transition to college, so they may cope with their disorder and do as well as possible in school and social settings. Coverage is straightforward, realistic, and geared toward optimum functioning and outcomes. Among the topics featured: - Background information, from current statistics to diagnostic issues. - ADHD in high school adolescents. - ADHD in college students: behavioral, academic, and psychosocial functioning. - Assessment of ADHD in college students. - Psychosocial/educational treatment of ADHD in college students. - Pharmacotherapy for college students with ADHD. - Future directions for practice and research. The comprehensive information in College Students with ADHD provides a wealth of information to researchers and professionals working with this population, including clinical and school psychologists, school and college counselors, special education teachers, social workers, developmental psychologists, and disability support staff on college campuses, as well as allied mental health providers.
