((Read_[PDF])) They Called Us Enemy Unlimited((Read_[PDF])) TheyCalled Us EnemyUnlimitedDescriptionAmazon.com Made famous via his role as Sulu in Star Trek, George Takei became a culturalphenomenon in the real world through his civil rights engagement and his support for democracy.Now, in his graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, Takei reveals the story of his familyâ€sincarceration during the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. A United Statescitizenâ€”as was everyone in his family except his father, who had been living in the U.S. fordecadesâ€”Takei was only 5 years old when the government forced his family to leave their homeand possessions and move to a concentration camp along with hundreds of others. Takei pivotsbetween showing through his childâ€s eyes the years in internment with expressing his later,more-adult understanding of how deeply his parents suffered during and after their imprisonment.Just as emotionally staggering is how Takeiâ€s father maintained his faith in the democraticsystem while the larger government failed him. The straightforward illustrations make this graphicmemoir a read comfortable for all ages, even as the memories depicted range from unsettling toinfuriating. It would be easy to consider Takeiâ€s story simply a colorful glimpse of themisbegotten past. But its power, like John Lewisâ€ March trilogy, burns in how it persuades thereader to consider how much weâ€ve really changed since Franklin D. Roosevelt and EarlWarren decided to imprison families based on unsupported fears. They Called Us Enemyalso inspires readers to engage through democracy to insist that we treat fellow human beingswith fairness and dignity. â€”Adrian Liang, Amazon Book Review 'They Called Us EnemyÂ is trulybeautiful â€” moving, thoughtful, important, engaging, and stunningly rendered.
