Informations biographiques

Greg Robinson, a native New Yorker, is Associate Professor of History at l'Université du Québec À Montréal, a French-language institution in Montreal, Canada, and a board member of that university’s Center for United States Studies. He is also interim president of the Museum-Observatory of Immigration project in Montreal. A specialist in North American Ethnic Studies and U.S. Political History, his current projects center on Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1940s and also on postwar coalitions between Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadians and other minorities. Professor Robinson is the author of the academic bestseller By Order of the President: FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans (Harvard University Press, 2001) and of A Tragedy of Democracy: Japanese Confinement in North America (Columbia University Press, 2009), which won the 2009 History Book prize of the Association for Asian American Studies. He is also the author of a pair of two new volumes: After Camp: Portraits in Midcentury Japanese American Life and Politics (University of California Press, 2012) and Pacific Citizens: Larry and Guyo Tajiri and Japanese American Journalism in the World War II Era, (University of Illinois Press, 2102). Professor Robinson was coeditor of the anthology Miné Okubo: Following Her Own Road (University of Washington Press, 2008) and Associate Editor of Gale/Macmillan’s 5-volume Encyclopedia of African American Culture and History and its supplement. He writes a regular column, “The Great Unknown and the Unknown Great,” for the San Francisco Nichi Bei Weekly.
