Description

A historical graphic novel that explores the experiences of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Displacement follows Kiku as she finds herself transported back in time to the 1940s, where she witnesses her grandmother's life in a Japanese-American internment camp. Living alongside her young grandmother and other internees, Kiku gains a unique understanding of this period in history. She sees firsthand how Japanese-Americans were denied their civil liberties and struggled to survive, yet managed to build community and resist oppression. This powerful story highlights the intergenerational impact of memory and the importance of preserving historical truth. Through Kiku's journey, Hughes sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history, revealing the resilience and strength of those who faced unimaginable hardship.
