Description
Amazon.com Made famous via his role as Sulu in Star Trek, George Takei became a cultural
phenomenon 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€s
incarceration during the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. A United States
citizen—as was everyone in his family except his father, who had been living in the U.S. for
decades—Takei was only 5 years old when the government forced his family to leave their home
and possessions and move to a concentration camp along with hundreds of others. Takei pivots
between 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 democratic
system while the larger government failed him. The straightforward illustrations make this graphic
memoir a read comfortable for all ages, even as the memories depicted range from unsettling to
infuriating. It would be easy to consider Takeiâ€s story simply a colorful glimpse of the
misbegotten past. But its power, like John Lewis†March trilogy, burns in how it persuades the
reader to consider how much weâ€ve really changed since Franklin D. Roosevelt and Earl
Warren decided to imprison families based on unsupported fears. They Called Us Enemy
also inspires readers to engage through democracy to insist that we treat fellow human beings
with fairness and dignity. —Adrian Liang, Amazon Book Review 'They Called Us Enemy is truly
beautiful — moving, thoughtful, important, engaging, and stunningly rendered. I am so excited to
see this book's impact on the world.' — Jacqueline Woodson, National Ambassador for
Young Peopleâ€s Literature and National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl
Dreaming   'George Takeiâ€s story reveals the important lessons of the WWII Japanese
American Incarceration that still need to be learned today. They Called Us Enemy is a
compelling must-read for all ages.― — Karen Korematsu, Founder and Executive Director,
Fred T. Korematsu Institute   'Riveting... Takei has evolved into an increasingly powerful
voice for oppressed communities, and Enemy finds him at peak moral clarity — an unflinching
force in these divisive times.' — The Washington Post'A detailed, wrenching account...Â
They Called Us Enemy should prove the most potent introduction for younger readers to this
ignoble chapter in our history.' — The New York Times'Powerful, moving and relevant.'Â
