THEY CALLED US ENEMY

Book ID/图书代码: 14288319C00001

English Summary/英文概要: A stunning graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei’s childhood imprisoned within American concentration camps during World War II. Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love.

George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father’s -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future.

In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.

They Called Us Enemy is Takei’s firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism, his mother’s hard choices, his father’s faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future.

What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? When the world is against you, what can one person do? To answer these questions, George Takei joins co-writers Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker for the journey of a lifetime.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 一本令人震撼的圖像小說回憶錄,講述了知名日裔美籍演員武井穗鄉(George Takei)在二戰期間被關押在美國日本人集中營的童年故事,武井穗鄉因飾演《星際爭霸戰》(Star Trek)中的蘇魯一角而聞名。

武井穗鄉以其在《星際爭霸戰》中的迷人形象以及對於人權的倡議而贏得世界關注,但在此之前,他曾經是一個四歲男孩,有朝一日醒來發現他的國家陷入了戰爭,而他們全家被迫搬進一個集中營,從此未來充滿了不確定和不安。

1942年,美國正陷入與日本的苦戰,在羅斯福總統命令下,西海岸每個有日本血統的人都被圍捕並運送到數十個被稱為「重新安置中心」的地方,他們被迫離家數百數千公里,在有武裝警察看守的集中營被拘留多年。

本書是武井在鐵絲網背後度過的童年回憶錄,在這當中我們可以看到種族主義如何以國家法律機器實行、小男孩成長過程的喜悅與恐懼、母親的艱難抉擇、以及父親對民主的信仰和這些經歷如何成為他未來為人權和平等倡議的種子。

成為一個美國人究竟意味著什麼?由誰來決定?當整個世界都與你唱反調,你一個人又能做些什麼?為了回答這些問題,武井與作家賈斯汀·埃辛格(Justin Eisinger)和史蒂芬·史考特(Steven Scott),以及漫畫藝術家荷莫妮·貝克爾(Harmony Becker)一起重新經歷了這改變了他一生的歷程。 (Zoe)
