Description
We Are Not Free by Traci Chee is a powerful and poignant account of life in the United States during World War II. In 1942, over 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to desolate incarceration camps. This book tells the story of fourteen young Nisei, second-generation Japanese Americans who have grown up together in Japantown, San Francisco. As they face the harsh realities of racism and injustice, these teenagers must rally together to support each other through the darkest of times. Forming a community and a family, they find strength in their relationships with one another, even as the world around them seems determined to hate them. Through this collective account, Traci Chee sheds light on a pivotal moment in American history, highlighting the struggles and resilience of those who were forced to live in the shadows.
