Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo

5.0

This is an irreplaceable documentation of Japanese American internment camps during the actual time they were happening. Mine Okubo not only lived this experience firsthand, she brilliantly documented and encapsulate said experience. Each sketch is like a literal snapshot of daily life, and her succinct, to-the-point description of the camps and of the people who lived there makes this work as vital as it is inimitable. And this should absolutely be used for whole classroom instruction.
