| book description |

""Deftly upends the compliant narrative with impeccably documented stories of resistance and rebellion ... Made urgent yet again, the trioâ€™s courageous refusals to accept the U.S.â€”their!â€”governmentâ€™s heinous miscarriage of justice should irrefutably embolden new generations ... Their collective history will resonate with older teens. Also highly recommended for high-school and college classrooms."" â€” Terry Hong, Booklist â€œIt leaves you simultaneously furious, questioning ideas of loyalty and citizenship â€¦ and deeply moved. May all of us learn, and share, these stories."" â€” Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times Three voices. Three acts of defiance. One mass injustice. The story of camp as youâ€™ve never seen it before. Japanese Americans complied when evicted from their homes in World War II -- but many refused to submit to imprisonment in American concentration camps without a fight. In this groundbreaking graphic novel, meet JIM AKUTSU, the inspiration for John Okadaâ€™s No-No Boy, who refuses to be drafted from the camp at Minidoka when classified as a non-citizen, an enemy alien; HIROSHI KASHIWAGI, who resists government pressure to sign a loyalty oath at Tule Lake, but yields to family pressure to renounce his U.S. citizenship; and MITSUYE ENDO, a reluctant recruit to a lawsuit contesting her imprisonment, who refuses a chance to leave the camp at Topaz so that her case could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Based upon painstaking research, We Hereby Refuse presents an original vision of Americaâ€™s past with disturbing links to the American present.
