Review: They Called Us Enemy
They Called Us Enemy by George TakeiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
George Takei's memoir in graphic novel format is absolutely a must read! A fellow teacher recommended I read this and I am so glad I did. I will add this memoir as an option for my 7th grade literature circle reads.
It is amazing to me the way anyone of Japanese descent were forced into internment camps, which essentially was incarceration, even though they were American citizens. As a child, George and his family were moved from their home to a horse stall, small quarters, and then the camps lined with barbed wire. They were tagged like cattle on their way to the camps and treated unfairly.
George grew up behind the barbed wire, watched his father and mother struggle for the family, and observed more that he ever should have as a child. As an adult, George took a stand for his people and the disgrace they suffered, he found his acting career, and a better life in the place that should have never been anything but home for himself and his family.
I highly recommend They Called Us Enemy, as we need to think of others and unite rather than divide. "...old outrages have begun to resurface..." (197)-scary to think injustices like this would ever happen in a place we call home.
