America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.
@georgetakei - George - that comment hits hard.
As it should.
What is the title of the book that I read about the internment camps when I was in middle school in California in the mid-eighties - just like "1984" and "Farenheit 451" - I think it's time to read it again.
Amy - the word weird is somehow lacking the threatening quality of what's happening.
@axel_hartmann @georgetakei You might be thinking of A Farewell to Manzanar?
Forty years ago that was assigned reading in Los Angeles public schools. I would like to think it still is.
@zwol @axel_hartmann @georgetakei Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison should be required reading too.
@axel_hartmann @georgetakei Another a bit too on the nose reread (I just finished) is Alas Babylon by Pat Frank. Great gift for any older teens in the family!
In the 1970s sometime I did a book report on "America's Concentration Camps" by Allan R. Bosworth (published 1967).
