In this novel one Japanese family's story is told and interwoven with the tale of a young African American boy whose father is killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Their property was taken and many men were removed from families for no other reason than for communicating with family back home in Japan. After Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941 the United States government rounded up all of the Japanese immigrants and their children - who were citizens - and interned them in several camps located throughout the West.
It's a story about hate and how letting hate against a race cloud your judgement against a person. The Red Kimono is more than a story about the injustice done to American citizens of Japanese descent during WWII.
