Description:
Publishing in tandem with Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience with a grant from the National Park Service.
- While certain stories of Japanese American resistance during WWII imprisonment are well-known (Gordon Hirabayashi, for example), these three stories show that people of many different walks of life felt the urge to resist the unjust actions of the US government.
- The museum will make a strong push to get this book incorporated into high school and college syllabi. Graphic novel format should make these stories accessible to students.
- The book is expected to get some pushback from certain sectors of the Japanese American community. For example, the Japanese American Citizens League does not come off too well.
- The three stories are set along the West Coast (two in California, one on Seattle), which should help expand readership.
- Discussion guide added to back of book to highlight misconceptions about internment during World War II.
