Description
George Takei's childhood was marked by imprisonment in American concentration camps during World War II. This graphic memoir recounts his experiences, exploring the forces that shaped an American icon and the country itself. Takei's story is one of courage, loyalty, and love, set against the backdrop of a nation at war with its own citizens. In 1942, the US government ordered the relocation of every person of Japanese descent on the west coast, forcing families to leave their homes and be held in uncertain conditions for years. Takei's family was among those affected, and their experiences had a profound impact on his life. This book is Takei's firsthand account of those years, revealing the joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism and the ways in which it shaped his future. Through his story, Takei raises important questions about identity, belonging, and the meaning of America. Join George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, and artist Harmony Becker on a journey that explores the complexities of the human experience.
