@bookstodon Another really good graphic nonfiction book I've read recently, and recommend, is WE HEREBY REFUSE, regarding the Japanese-Americans forced into concentration camps in WWII.
The story addresses a common victim-blaming response to the plight of others: "Why didn't they fight back?" It's almost always the wrong question, even though indeed, they did fight back. Victim-blaming is a pernicious permission structure, allowing us not to care about terrible events that happen to other people.
This is a story rarely heard. It needs to be heard, especially as some leaders are openly advocating for detention camps for those who look like they "might be here illegally." #books #bookstodon #BookReview #BooksWorthReading #books2024 #Internment_camps

Manzanar Internment Camp, Lone Pine California. Looking west from the gate that leads to the Chicken Ranch. Mt Bradley and Mt. Keith in the the background. Such a bleak place and a national disgrace #manznar #Internment_camps #BlackandWhitePhotography #history #lonepine #japan
