Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Between Two Freedoms unfolds the poignant story of Emmy Kubo, a young Japanese American woman navigating the upheaval of World War II and the forced internment of Japanese Americans. Growing up in the small town of Guadalupe, California, Emmy cherishes the close-knit Japanese American community and the companionship of lifelong friends, including Margarita and Jits, whose loyalty and support become an anchor for Emmy in challenging times.As Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor casts suspicion on all people of Japanese descent, Emmy's community feels the sting of prejudice and betrayal. Her father, an Issei (first-generation immigrant) who cannot naturalize due to restrictive U.S. laws, is taken away in the initial wave of arrests targeting community leaders. The Nisei (second-generation) young men face an equally complex burden: Emmy's brother, Ben, joins the U.S. Army, torn between loyalty to his country and the unjust treatment of his family and friends. Meanwhile, Emmy meets Tom, a spirited young man with a strong sense of purpose and integrity, who quickly becomes more than a friend. Their bond grows in the face of the racial animus surrounding them, offering Emmy moments of joy and grounding amid escalating hostility.The enactment of Executive Order 9066 forces Emmy's entire community into internment camps, stripping away their freedoms and severing their ties to their former lives. Life in the camps challenges Emmy's resilience, testing her relationship with Tom and redefining her concept of freedom. Letters, friendships, and cultural connections persist despite isolation, helping the internees survive the emotional toll of displacement and loss. Through this journey, Emmy discovers the depth of her community's spirit and finds strength in preserving both her heritage and a renewed hope for freedom.Between Two Freedoms sheds light on the resilience of the human spirit, the unbreakable bonds of friendship, and the unyielding quest for dignity when freedom is denied.…
