Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month:  Two books in the Media Center that are memoirs written by Japanese Americans are Farewell to Manzanar: A True Story of Japanese-American Experience during and after the World War II Internment by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and They Called Us Enemy by George Takei. In the first book, Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston who was born in California was seven years old when her family was forced into the Manzanar internment camp near the Sierra Nevada mountains in Nevada, along with more than 11,000 other Japanese Americans. The memoir describes the Wakatsuki family’s strategies for surviving internment and the harmful effects it had on their family. The second book describes the life of Star Trek celebrity George Takei’s firsthand account as a young boy living in a Japanese internment camp in the United States behind barbed wire. This graphic novel describes 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.
