Book
Displacement / Kiku Hughes.
SUDDENLY, KIKU IS TORN OUT OF HER OWN TIME... Though she was on vacation in present-day San Francisco just moments before, Kiku now finds herself displaced to the 1940s Japanese American internment camp where her late grandmother, Ernestina, was forcibly relocated during World War II. Kiku is stuck, with no choice but to live alongside Ernestina and other Japanese American citizens in the internment camp. During her time with them, she witnesses the lives of people who were denied civil liberties by their own government but still managed to create a community and commit acts of resistance in order to survive. Kiki Hughes waves a riveting, bittersweet tale that highlights the intergenerational impact of trauma and the redemptive power of memory. -- Provided by inside flap.
