We are not free / Traci Chee.
What do you do when the only home you've ever known is taken from you? Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, fourteen Japanese-American teens find their lives irrevocably changed. Registration. Curfew. Eviction. Incarceration. As World War II roars on around them, these teens must ask themselves what it means to be free Americans when their own country has imprisoned them. 14 teens who have grown up together in Japantown, San Francisco. 14 teens who form a community and a family, as interconnected as they are conflicted. 14 teens whose lives are turned upside down when over 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry are removed from their homes and forced into desolate incarceration camps. In a world that seems determined to hate them, they must rally together as racism and injustice threaten to pull them apart.
