They Called Us Enemy by Steven Scott, George Takei, Justin Eisinger
4.0
I realized that there was a gap in my reading so I tried to fix that
What an eye opening graphic novel memoir on what it was like to be a Japanese American living in the US after Pearl harbor. The dehumanization, blatant racism and forced incarceration(internment) in concentration camps of the Japanese American based on absolutely nothing but deep rooted racism...was so harrowing to read about...and more so from the eyes of a child who had no idea what was happening but was affected regardless.
What a book!
Reading will always be political. 📚
