Book description
The award-winning New York Times Bestseller, now in Spanish! En estas impactantes memorias en formato de novela gráfica, el actor/autor/activista George Takei rememora sucesos imborrables de su infancia en los campos de concentración en América, como uno de los 120,000 japoneses americanos encarcelados por el Gobierno de EE. UU. durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Experimenta las fuerzas que moldearon a un icono americano -- y a América misma -- en esta historia apasionante de coraje, arraigo, lealtad y amor. George Takei ha capturado corazones y mentes por todo el mundo con su cautivadora presencia en escena y su compromiso incondicional con la igualdad de derechos. Pero, mucho antes de alcanzar nuevas fronteras en Star Trek, se despertó de niño, a los cuatro años, para encontrar a su país natal en guerra contra el de su padre... y a su familia entera forzada a abandonar su hogar, rumbo a un futuro incierto. En 1942, bajo órdenes del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt, cada persona de ascendencia japonesa en la costa oeste fue capturada y enviada a uno de diez "centros de reubicación", a cientos o miles de millas de sus hogares, donde permanecerían durante años bajo vigilancia armada. Nos llamaron Enemigo es la historia en primera persona de Takei sobre esos años detrás de una alambrada de púas, las alegrías y terrores de crecer bajo un racismo legalizado, las difíciles elecciones de su madre, la fe inquebrantable de su padre en la democracia y cómo estas experiencias sembraron las semillas de su asombroso futuro. ¿Qué significa ser americano? ¿Quién puede determinarlo? Cuando el mundo está en tu contra ¿qué puede hacer un solo individuo? Para contestar a estas preguntas, George Takei se une a los escritores Justin Eisinger y Steven Scott y a la artista Harmony Becker en el recorrido de toda una vida. English Edition: They Called Us Enemy/Takei, Eisinger, Scott, Becker/9781603094504/7-16-19
About the Author
Con una carrera como actor que abarca seis décadas, George Takei es conocido en todo el mundo por su papel fundacional en la aclamada serie de televisión Star Trek, donde interpretó a Hikaru Sulu, timonel de la nave Enterprise. Pero la historia de Takei llega hasta donde pocas historias han llegado antes. Desde una infancia con su familia encarcelada indebidamente en campos de internamiento para japoneses americanos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, hasta convertirse en una de las figuras principales en la lucha por la justicia social, derechos LGTBQ e igualdad de matrimonio, Takei sigue siendo una voz poderosa en asuntos que van desde la política hasta la cultura pop. Mashable.com nombró a Takei la persona más influyente en Facebook, con 10.4 millones de likes y 2.8 millones de seguidores en Twitter. Takei ha sido un promotor apasionado de la justicia social, voz defensora de los derechos humanos y activista comunitario. Ha servido como portavoz para el Proyecto Nacional para Salir del Clóset de Human Rights Campaign y fue el presidente de Asuntos Culturales de la Liga de Ciudadanos Japoneses Americanos. Es también presidente emérito y patrón del Museo Nacional Japonés Americano en Los Ángeles. Formó parte de la Comisión de Amistad Japón-EE. UU., nombrado por el presidente Clinton, y el Gobierno de Japón le concedió la Orden del Sol Naciente con Rayos Dorados y Roseta por sus contribuciones a las relaciones entre EE. UU. y Japón. Este honor le fue entregado por Su Majestad el Emperador Akihito, en el Palacio Imperial en Tokio. Justin Eisinger es el director editorial de novela gráfica y antologías de IDW Publishing, donde ha pasado más de una docena de años sumergido en el mundo de la narración visual. Después de un encuentro decisivo con el pionero de los derechos civiles y autor de March, el diputado John Lewis, Eisinger dedicó su experiencia a adaptar películas y episodios de televisión de títulos como My Little Pony, Transformers y Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles para ahora llevar historias cautivadoras de no-ficción a los lectores. Nacido en Akron, Ohio, vive en San Diego, California, con su mujer y dos perros, y en su tiempo libre edita la única revista norteamericana sobre patinaje en línea. Desde la publicación de su cómic debut en 2010, Steven Scott ha trabajado habitualmente en el mundo del cómic, más notablemente como publicista.
