THEY CALLED US ENEMY TP SPANISH ED NOS LLAMARON ENEMIGO
(W) George Takei & Various (A/CA) Harmony Becker
The New York Times Bestseller, now in Spanish!
En estas impactantes memorias en formato de novela gráfica, el actor/autor/activista George Takei rememora sucesos imborrables de su infancia en los campos de concentración en América.
En 1942, bajo órdenes del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt, cada persona de ascendencia japonesa en la costa oeste fue capturada y enviada a uno de diez "centros de reubicación", a cientos o miles de millas de sus hogares, donde permanecerían durante años bajo vigilancia armada.
Nos llamaron Enemigo es la historia en primera persona de Takei sobre esos años detrás de una alambrada de púas.
¿Qué significa ser americano? ¿Quién puede determinarlo? Cuando el mundo está en tu contra, ¿qué puede hacer un solo individuo? Para contestar a estas preguntas, George Takei se une a los escritores Justin Eisinger y Steven Scott y a la artista Harmony Becker en el recorrido de toda una vida. (STL152548) (FEB200742)
