(Yes, all of these are true. And there is more info here!) To pronounce my name: TAH-MEE-KOH NEE-MOO-RAH (vowels are similar to Spanish, if that helps, and the “R” is similar to a Spanish “R.”) Tamiko Nimura is an Asian American creative nonfiction writer and public historian living in Tacoma, Washington. She writes from an interdisciplinary space at the intersection of her love of literature, grounding in American ethnic studies, inherited wisdom from teachers and activists, and storytelling through history. Her memoir is titled A PLACE FOR WHAT WE LOSE: A DAUGHTER’S RETURN TO TULE LAKE (University of Washington Press).
