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
