Description
Discover the compelling graphic novel **WE HEREBY REFUSE**, a powerful exploration of Japanese American resistance during World War II. This meticulously crafted trade paperback, published by Chin Music Press Inc. in 2021, presents three significant stories that showcase the courage and resilience of individuals who stood up against injustice. Unlike the often-told tales of Gordon Hirabayashi, this book delves into the lesser-known narratives of diverse individuals resisting the unfair internment policies imposed by the US government.
With a unique blend of visual storytelling and deep historical context, **WE HEREBY REFUSE** aims to reshape the narratives surrounding internment and inspire discussions in high school and college classrooms. The graphic novel format makes these crucial stories accessible and engaging for young readers, while a discussion guide at the back of the book addresses common misconceptions about the internment experience.
Set against the backdrop of the West Coast, with two stories in California and one in Seattle, this book not only serves as an educational resource but also connects with a wider audience. Note that there may be some criticism from segments of the Japanese American community, prompting important conversations about interpretation and representation. Join the movement to integrate this transformative work into curricula and amplify the voices that echo through history. Available now in brand new condition with an ISBN of 9781634059763.
