Sources for Miné Okubo article

Hello! I saw that some of your students were assigned to edit Miné Okubo last semester. Excellent! I became familiar with her work from an exhibition a few years ago. A fortuitious coincidence: saw the Manzanar site and this exhibit at the Skirball center during the same vacation. Of course I then read Citizen 13660, made a few tweaks to the article, and put it on my watch list.

Amerasia Journal published a special issue on Okubo in 2004. It seemed to me from the table of contents that there should be ample material for expanding the Wikipedia article, or maybe for your class. The same journal has published other articles on her over the years.

The articles should be available from your school library, possibly by interlibrary loan. It is also readable online (in a not-very-good scanned copy) from Archive.org.

Anyway, I posted a comment pointing out this resource (with some links) for your students on the talk page. They made some improvements, but didn't add very much. I don't think they took advantage of the journal articles. I'm pointing it out to you in case you want to recommend it to your this-semester students.

Here where I posted the information: Talk:Miné Okubo#Wiki Education_assignment: American Studies 101 -- M.boli (talk) 03:15, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for this information. I'm not sure whether I'll have student come back to this article right away this semester, but I will eventually. I will certainly encourage students to take advantage of this resource in the future. CSU ENG PROF (talk) 19:19, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
