Stealing Home by J. Torres
3.0
What if one day suddenly your no longer considered someone as a neighbour, a citizen, a well wisher or helpful friend instead whenever you passby people look at you with disgust they taunt you for not who you are but which race you belong for an incident brings out the worst turning their own countrymen against... them..
It's 1941, Japan has attacked pearl Harbor and that's set needed spark to deep rooted racism against Japanese Americans in their own country for they are belittled :they are rounded , curfews are started and special restrictions are put in place... This is only start for what is about to come...! This graphic novel was eye opener for me as it was something i wasn't aware of.. The author has very well brought out the needed connect and context to help us get into it, only wish would be if author had woven more it into a fictional account making it lengthier for readers to connect with it more it felt short as if something was amiss ; and wish the artwork could be more better than it is.. not at all impressed by art when compared to the weight of story..! Thankful to Netgalley, J torres author and publishers for providing review copy!
