{"product_id":"evacuations-9781772128536","title":"Evacuations","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith Evacuations, Kevin Irie weaves a poetic documentary for readers, capturing the personal and political histories of the Japanese-Canadian internment in British Columbia during World War II. The resulting poems oscillate between the lyric mode and techniques of erasure poetry to highlight the dehumanizing nature of public decrees and government notices. Irie deconstructs the Canadian state's racist policies, creating a record of painful memories replete with archival resonances. The collection offers a rich tapestry of historical voices, revealing the devastating effects of the internment and preserving the stories of a generation gradually slipping into silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Irie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alberta Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Kroetsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.83h x 5.92w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772128536","brand":"University of Alberta Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45606542442633,"sku":"9781772128536","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_8e2c3231-c9d9-4385-8721-8ddd8c013b4b.jpg?v=1776753688","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/evacuations-9781772128536","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
