Gaijin: American Prisoner of War

This poignant graphic novel tells the story of Koji Miyamoto, a biracial boy living in San Francisco during WWII. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Koji, with a Japanese father and white mother, experiences intense prejudice, first in his own city and then within the internment camp where his family is forcibly relocated. The narrative powerfully explores themes of identity, belonging, and the devastating impact of racism and war on individuals and families. It's an excellent resource for discussing a difficult period in American history and fostering empathy for those who faced discrimination.
