Despre această carte electronică
A riveting tale of a teenager's unexpected journey into her grandmother's past, exploring the intergenerational impact of the Japanese-American internment camps during World War II.
While on vacation in San Francisco, Kiku suddenly finds herself displaced to the 1940s Japanese-American internment camp that her late grandmother, Ernestina, was forcibly relocated to during World War II. As these displacements continue, Kiku becomes "stuck" in the past, living alongside her young grandmother and other Japanese-American citizens in the internment camps.
Through this firsthand experience, Kiku receives an education she never got in history class. She witnesses the lives of Japanese-Americans who were denied their civil liberties and suffered greatly, yet managed to cultivate community and commit acts of resistance in order to survive.
In Displacement, Kiku Hughes weaves a bittersweet tale that highlights the power of memory and the importance of understanding our history. This historical graphic novel sheds light on a dark chapter in American history, revealing the strength and resilience of those who endured it.
