No Longer Americans: Finding Courage and Hope in Manzanar

By David Hsueh

No Longer Americans: Finding Hope and Courage in Manzanar tells the buried history of the Japanese-American internment camps. As young Naoki tries to decipher why he and other Japanese-Americans are imprisoned in the camps, he uncovers the tremendous wrongdoings against his fellow internees. This betrayal by his own government and the resulting cover up shocks and horrifies him. Even as he struggles to reveal the truth, he's ignored and dismissed each time. As his friends Shohei, Akira, and Fuji struggle with their own deprivations, Naoki doubts his own will to persist and his courage to protect loved ones from harm. At last, Naoki must risk everything to build a better future. By suffering alongside Naoki and witnessing his journey to find hope in despair, No Longer Americans will not only help its readers grapple with this shameful piece of history, but will inspire them to contemplate discrimination today, and to stand up against current and future injustices.
