During the completion of my postgraduate degree, I was asked to analyze my first history-related graphic novel called "Abina and the Important Men" by Trevor R. Getz and Liz Clarke. I was initially skeptical about the effectiveness of learning content in this way; however, I was absolutely amazed at how much of the historical content I absorbed! I felt so emotionally attached to the characters and the story that I couldn't put the material down until I had finished it. What entices students about graphic novels is that they're incredibly easy to read, while providing historical content in an exciting way. With George Takei's "They Called Us Enemy," I plan to teach students about the questionable decisions made during World War II that subjected Japanese Americans to internment camps. While I aim to focus on selections of this story for my 9th grade American History classes, I would like to analyze the entire graphic novel in my upper-level World War II semester courses.
