![]() ![]() ![]() Takei touches on that throughout this graphic memoir. Our history books are notoriously white-washed, never delving into the parts of our past that makes white Americans look like the "bad guys." For example, I was never taught about these American concentration camps in my public school history class, though we spent every year of middle and high school learning about those in Europe. ![]() We are also shown the repercussions this period has on American politics. Through flash forwards from the '40s to present day, we see the repercussions this terrible experience has on George as he finds his voice while processing what his country put him through. While his parents are just trying to get through the day and keep their family safe, young George and his brother Henry think they are going on a vacation or an adventure. Seeing this all through a young child's eyes was even more heart-wrenching. We follow a four-year-old George Takei and his family as they are forced into concentration camps during WWII because of their Japanese ancestry. I've been a big fan of graphic memoirs ever since reading Persepolis, and this book is the perfect example of why. ![]()

His literary career began in 1881 with the publication of a volume of poetry but did not gain traction until the late 1880s it was during this period that Wilde, drawing in part on the Irish folklore he had learned from his mother, wrote a collection of fairy tales that included "The Nightingale and the Rose." Wilde's success peaked in the early 1890s with works like The Picture of Dorian Gray, but scandal soon overshadowed his writing.
