Citizen 13660 (Classics of Asian American Literature)

I just recently read They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, which covers much of the same ground but I prefer Citizen 13660 because here the author illustrator Mine Okubo is the narrator of her own experience. George Takei was just a child, Mine Okubo was 29 yrs old when she was forced into "protective custody". The intro and preface add value also.

Required reading for a class. Arrived quickly and was exactly what was required.

第二次世界大戦中のアメリカにおける日系人収容の体験談。アメリカの国費で欧州留学もした画家である筆者が収容体験を淡々とユーモアに富んだ絵と文章で綴る。過酷な状況を恨むでもなく、できることから対処しようとする姿、主張すべきはする姿が印象的。永遠に語り継がれるべき記憶遺産だと思います。

The book is very well written and gives a true image of what life was like in the camp. The illustrations further enhanced the story . Would be a great book for student history reading as many do not even know that it exisited.

Arrived as expected; wasn't marked or damaged in any way.
