Displacement by Kiku Hughes
5.0
Part memoir, part history, and part imagination, this graphic novel is a timely glimpse into the lives in the internment camp that her grandmother experienced.
Kiku never really knew much about grandmother, who passed when her mother was in college. In a trip to the West Coast, her mother wants to search for places her mother had lived. During this search Kiku is bored, until a gust of dusty wind transports her back in time to the same same internment camp where her Ernestine, her grandmother was held.
Told in parts, this graphic novel has so much substance and highlights the importance of memories, so we don’t repeat the mistakes of our past.
