what an exceptional graphic novel. though I haven't read Kindred by Octavia Butler, this reminds me of that - of a young girl living in this day and age (especially Trump's America) listening to them going on about how 'you aren't american enough' or immigration in general and that bringing up the trauma that Japanese Americans had of internment camps.

i think it did an exceptional job in painting a picture (literally - since it is a graphic novel) on the time, the people and the emotions of then and how the people of now think of it and how they still deal with intergenerational trauma.

"our connection to the past is not lost, even if we don't have all the documents, even if we never learn the details. the memories of community experiences stay with us and continue to affect our lives."
