Where are these sources from?

On the book's website I found:

"This extremely important book marks a definite'breakthrough' in making a comparative analysis of a single nationality group and its descendants in several new countries. No other book encompasses such a broad, yet very detailed, perspective, and all scholars of Japanese immigrants to the Americas will welcome this new direction in immigration history."—Brian Hayashi, Kyoto University

"New Worlds, New Lives does a great job of exploring the complex histories, and changing demographics, of the Japanese diaspora in only 384 pages...The volume is definately worth $24.95."—The Hawaii Herald

"Its real strength is its view into the contemporary communities of Nikkei in various host nations, and into Japan as host to its descendants wh have become gaijin."—American Ethnologist
