Jim Akutsu, considered by some to be the inspiration for John Okada's No-No Boy, resisted the draft and argued that he had no obligation to serve the US military because he was classified as an enemy alien. Hiroshi Kashiwagi renounced his United States citizenship and refused to fill out the "loyalty questionnaire" required by the US government. He and his family were segregated by the government and ostracized by the Japanese American community for being "disloyal." And Mitsuye Endo became a reluctant but willing plaintiff in a Supreme Court case that was eventually decided in her favor. These three stories show the devastating effects of the imprisonment, but also how widespread and varied the resistance was."-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Japanese American families $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Internment camps $z United States $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Race relations $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $x Evacuation and relocation, 1942-1945 $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1933-1945 $v Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Nimura, Tamiko F., $e author. 700 1 $a Sasaki, Matt, $e artist. 700 1 $a Ishikawa, Ross, $d 1962- $e artist. 710 2 $a Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience. 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20220203010556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC2908F084BE11ECA1DCE93A4FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
