chrysfey 's review for:

They Called Us Enemy by Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, George Takei
5.0

Amazing. Powerful.

This graphic novel is packed with history that many don't know, because we're not taught these things in school as we should be.

(I first learned about Japanese American internment camps when I read Silent Honour by Danielle Steel on my own when I was a teen. I recently read Displacement, another graphic novel also about internment camps with a current twist, and recommend that one, too.)

Asian hate is not new. It has sadly been a reality for many for a very long time. This story spans decades and includes several presidents. I highly recommend this graphic novel to everyone who is interested in real American history.
