They Called Us EnemyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars

A powerful read with a strong narrative, Takei’s story is something we need to read again and again so that we can live up to the mantra of Never Again. The graphic novel format shines here, adding another dimension of depth to the story. The art and the story work so well together.

The cycle in America seems to be “We fail, we ignore, we accept, we restore”. Then we repeat. American concentration camps are back on the scene in the 2010s/2020s, something I would have thought unthinkable. Takei’s story shows us our history and asks, demands us not to repeat it.
