Author Q&A What are you hoping readers take away from this book? Of course I hope that readers will get a broader understanding of Japanese American incarceration and what parts of American history get erased over time. But more generally, I hope people come away from Displacement understanding that community trauma, especially when caused by racist targeting, persists in myriad ways for generations. It is so important to fight back against bigoted policy actively and immediately, because the consequences of inaction are so far-reaching and damaging. More positively, I hope people see the power that memories can have when they are shared. It can be hard to do, but it's essential to keep the stories alive, not only for the healing of the community but for the country as a whole. Ignoring the past doesn't mean it stops affecting us, especially the most vulnerable among us. I hope readers feel empowered to share their stories and learn the stories of others, and use those memories as a tool against hatred. What inspired you to write DISPLACEMENT? Though it's a story I've wanted to tell for a long time, the 2016 election was really what inspired Displacement to take the shape it did. The Japanese American community has been very outspoken, especially since 2016, about their resistance to American concentration camps, and they continue to inspire me with their activism. In what ways were the time travel genre and graphic novel format particularly well suited to explore this past? I understood from the start that there were details of the past and of my grandmother's life that I would never know fully. A lot has been lost and I wanted to acknowledge that loss by using a fantastical element to tell the story. Likewise, comics are useful to indicate there is some fiction in this history, since the medium is so dialog-heavy. Read more
