The award-winning New York Times Bestseller, now in Spanish!

En estas impactantes memorias en formato de novela gráfica, el actor/autor/activista George Takei rememora sucesos imborrables de su infancia en los campos de concentración en América, como uno de los 120,000 japoneses americanos encarcelados por el Gobierno de EE. UU. durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Experimenta las fuerzas que moldearon a un icono americano — y a América misma — en esta historia apasionante de coraje, arraigo, lealtad y amor.


George Takei ha capturado corazones y mentes por todo el mundo con su cautivadora presencia en escena y su compromiso incondicional con la igualdad de derechos. Pero, mucho antes de alcanzar nuevas fronteras en Star Trek, se despertó de niño, a los cuatro años, para encontrar a su país natal en guerra contra el de su padre… y a su familia entera forzada a abandonar su hogar, rumbo a un futuro incierto.

En 1942, bajo órdenes del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt, cada persona de ascendencia japonesa en la costa oeste fue capturada y enviada a uno de diez “centros de reubicación”, a cientos o miles de millas de sus hogares, donde permanecerían durante años bajo vigilancia armada.

Nos llamaron Enemigo es la historia en primera persona de Takei sobre esos años detrás de una alambrada de púas, las alegrías y terrores de crecer bajo un racismo legalizado, las difíciles elecciones de su madre, la fe inquebrantable de su padre en la democracia y cómo estas experiencias sembraron las semillas de su asombroso futuro.

¿Qué significa ser americano? ¿Quién puede determinarlo? Cuando el mundo está en tu contra ¿qué puede hacer un solo individuo? Para contestar a estas preguntas, George Takei se une a los escritores Justin Eisinger y Steven Scott y a la artista Harmony Becker en el recorrido de toda una vida.
