Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Good mix of story and art. ( ) Hm, not sure how to rate! I actively disliked the time travel framing story and the passivity/contextlessness it causes until the explanation of why that framing story was used in part III. At that point it made more sense as an artistic choice at least. Maybe I need to read this a second time to get the full impact, then? I also saw that it was partly inspired by the Octavia Butler book which I haven't read yet; maybe that also provides some necessary artistic context that wasn't present in Displacement itself. Should be 4.5 stars. Beautifully drawn and well written. I liked the use of the word “displacement“ as opposed to time travel and how it is related to memory. The young girl does not know the history of her family and through these displacements, she is able to travel back and experience what it was like for those to be locked up in Japanese internment camps. I liked how the author brought in realworld connections to what is happening with Mexicans here in America. Racial injustice needs to stop, there’s a reason why the words are “all men are created equal“. This book reminded me of They Called Us Enemy and how it was told from a female point of view. I definitely learned a lot more about the different factions of Japanese and Japanese American people. It makes me want to tell students to inquire about their families past and where they come from and what their experiences were like growing up. Summary: Kiku, a teenager living in modern times, was pulled back in time (time travel) and live the life that her grandma lived in the 1940s during the Japanese-American internment camp era. During this experience, she learned of things that were not taught in school and witness how the older generation suffered but bear through. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"Kiku is on vacation in San Francisco when suddenly she finds herself displaced to the 1940s Japanese-American internment camp that her late grandmother, Ernestina, was forcibly relocated to during World War II. These displacements keep occurring until Kiku finds herself stuck back in time. Living alongside her young grandmother and other Japanese-American citizens in internment camps, Kiku gets the education she never received in history class. She witnesses the lives of Japanese-Americans who were denied their civil liberties and suffered greatly, but managed to cultivate community and commit acts of resistance in order to survive."--Publisher's website.
