A Heartbreaking Chronicle of Injustice
"They Called Us Enemy" chronicles the harrowing experiences of Japanese Americans who were unjustly swept up in the wave of fear and suspicion that swept the nation after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Takei, himself a former internee, recounts the gripping story of his own family's forced relocation from their home in California to desolate internment camps in the remote deserts of the American West.
Through the eyes of Takei and other internees, readers witness the indignities and hardships they endured behind barbed wire. They share their stories of overcrowded barracks, meager food rations, and the constant fear of being labeled as "enemy aliens." Yet, amidst the adversity, the resilience of these individuals shines through.
Expanding the Narrative: New Voices and Revelations
The Expanded Edition of "They Called Us Enemy" not only revisits the events of World War II but also expands the narrative to include the experiences of Japanese Americans who remained in the United States outside of the camps. These individuals faced their own challenges, grappling with discrimination, suspicion, and the weight of wartime propaganda.
The book also sheds light on the long-term impact of the incarceration on Japanese American communities. Takei explores the psychological and financial scars that lingered long after the camps were closed, as well as the ongoing fight for reparations and recognition.
