A short summary of the book When the Emperor Was Divine:
As a Japanese in the United States, one family's experience.
My favorite Julie Otsuka quote from the book:"
"And remember, it's easier to bend than to break."
Questions I pondered while reading the book:
Who in the f-word decided on these camps?
How did we, as a nation of immigrants, justify that type of incarceration?
My review of When the Emperor Was Divine:
I have seen Delta, Utah.
I am ashamed this was ever allowed.
Reacting this way to fear is not okay.
