PhotoBook Journal Contributing Editor Wayne Swanson writes: “This understated collection is at once a record of the indignities endured by 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry during World War II and an expression of the balancing act facing all minorities striving to find a place in a new land. The collages also convey the contrasts between Japanese and American mindsets.” Read the full review here.

“Balancing Cultures masterfully interweaves narrative, memory and image to shine the light of history on prejudice, discrimination and the unfinished  business of racial justice in America.” — Ann Burroughs, President and CEO, Japanese American National Museum; Chair of Amnesty International’s Global Council
