AANHPI Month Feature: They Called Us Enemy

May is Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Month! Inspired by One Book, One Coast, a community reading program, we are highlighting They Called Us Enemy by George Takei.

About They Called Us Enemy

They Called Us Enemy is a graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei’s childhood imprisoned within American concentration camps during World War II. Confronting questions of patriotism, family, loyalty, and community, George’s work is a stunning examination of what it means to be American, both long ago and today.
