The\r\nhistorical significance of a recognized landmark such as the VJLS creates a unique atmosphere\r\nthat allows the past to be very much part of the present. In addition to many types of\r\ncommemoration, memory and imagination provide links to the past. The community at the\r\nVJLS was very diverse including both recent immigrants and those with family connections to\r\nthe Internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II. As a result, the feeling of a\r\nconnection to the past was discussed in many different ways. These discussions are used in this\r\nstudy to explore the question of what it means to be Japanese Canadian and to be Canadian. At\r\nthe VJLS, the history of Japanese Canadians is shown to belong to all Canadians rather than just\r\nto a separate ethic group within Canada.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"3348152 bytes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"application\/pdf","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
