DESCRIPTION:Kimiko Guthrie & Kiku Hughes discuss Block Seventeen and Displacement, 
 their novels reflecting on the experience of Japanese and Japanese 
 Americans in U.S. concentration camps during WWII\n\nIt DID Happen Here. It 
 IS Happening Here. & Never Again Is NOW.\n\nPart of “Revolution Books: 60 
 Defiant Days, The Trump/Pence Must Go”\n\nIn Kiku Hughes' graphic novel 
 Displacment, a teenager is pulled back in time to witness her grandmother's 
 experiences in the World War II-era when the U.S. rounded up 120,000 
 Japanese and Japanese Americans and forced them into concentration camps. 
 Living alongside her young grandmother in the camps, Kiku gets the 
 education she never received in history class.\n\nBlock Seventeen by Kimiko 
 Guthrie first presents as a mystery novel: its protagonist, Akiko 
 “Jane” Thompson is confounded by a series of disturbing mysteries: Why 
 won’t the neighbor’s baby, whom she’s never seen, stop crying? Why is 
 her boyfriend, who works for the Transportation Security Administration, 
 suddenly obsessed, to the point of paranoia, with government surveillance? 
 And why can she only find her mother online, in the elusive world of social 
 media? These mysteries unfold/unravel as she confronts her family's history 
 in America, how they survived the camps, and how fear and humiliation can 
 drive a person to commit desperate acts.\n\nWatch it here:
