Abstract (type = abstract)
In this "I remember" memoir, Fusaye Kazaoka recalls her arrival at Seabrook Farms after being interned at a camp in Poston, Arizona. Fusaye found the dormitories at Seabrook to be cramped, dismal, and uncomfortable. Eventually, her family was able to move into Seabrook apartments, which were a little better than the dorms, but still very crowded. Fusaye worked on the farm during the summers. She then went to college to become a pharmacist, but later quit so that her brother could attend college. She got a job with New Jersey Bell Telephone Company, and writes that this was the first time she experienced blatant cultural prejudice in the workplace. She fought very hard against this bias, and wound up working for New Jersey Bell for 34 years. In the end, Fusaye feels that the life experience she values most is her closeness with her family. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms.
