Two hundred and ninety-nine episodes ago, we could not have possibly imagined George Takei appearing on the podcast. Some version of the actor has hung in our imaginations for most of our lives, and we spent many days of our early marriage obsessing over Star Trek, the original series, and its subsequent films. Thankfully, through this beautiful medium called comic books, our paths have crossed, and we get to celebrate our three-hundredth episode with one of our creative and cultural heroes. Takei's latest graphic novel, It Rhymes With Takei, reunites him with the same creative team behind They Called Us Enemy: artist Harmony Becker and writers Steven Scott and Justin Eisinger. Together, they tell the rest of Takei's story, which includes his time in the Japanese American internment camps during World War II. It Rhymes With Takei explores the many lessons George Takei learned from that experience, how it shaped his activism, and gave him the courage to battle through the numerous other injustices he would face and fight for and alongside others. The word "dystopia" gets thrown around a lot these days. It's certainly a go-to for us, and when you look outside your window or scroll through your phone, it's an easy, seemingly apt descriptor. Star Trek has started to feel like fantasy, not science fiction. However, George Takei encourages us to hang onto utopian possibilities. He asks us to accept the inevitability of change but strive toward a brighter, better future. As the news continuously fills us with dread, we needed this conversation with George Takei, and we're grateful to share it with you, beautiful comic book friends.

In this One Shot episode of Moving Panels, Laramy and Bethany explore the powerful intersection of real-world events and the comic book medium. Building on their recent deep dive into Persepolis, they shift focus to They Called Us Enemy, George Takei's poignant account of Japanese-American internment during World War II; Maus, Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning depiction of the Holocaust; and March, Congressman John Lewis's stirring graphic memoir of the Civil Rights Movement. Join us as we examine how these works use the art of comics to illuminate history, inspire change, and connect with readers on a deeply human level. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/movingpanels/support
The story of the great George Takei goes beyond his career of Star Trek, into his early beginnings growing up in America during the 1940s. They Called Us Enemy by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven R. Scott with art by Harmony Becker tells the real life experiences Takei lived through during WWII when Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps in the United States during the aftermath of Pearl Harbor until the war was over. With the help of Takei's mother and father, George and his family were able to persevere through this era of traumatic uncertainly that forever changed the lives of thousands of Japanese Americans during one of the harshest times in world history. This part of history is tragically important as to not repeat itself, but to learn the valuable lessons shared in this journey of courage and bravery. This Eisner Award winning graphic novel for Best Reality-Based Work produced by Top Shelf Productions is highly recommended for readers who like nonfiction autobiographic memoirs as well as readers who want to learn about one of the most iconic pop culture leaders to take action outside of the television screen.

Welcome back to Make Mine Paperback! The podcast is hopefully going to teach you something new this month. Continuing the discussion of Living History is Graham's selection: They Called Us Enemy, written by George Takei, Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott and art by Harmony Becker. They Called Us Enemy follows George Takei's experience in an internment camp as a child. At only four years old, George was sent to a notorious prison for Japanese-Americans during WW2 when the United States declared war on Japan. As a child, George Takei's parents shielded him from the true situation inside the camps leading him to believe his childhood was normal. As an adult, Takei now reflects on his time inside the camp, and even offers hope for the future. Listen in, as the hosts take you on a journey through important events in American history, and prove that comics can help teach history that textbooks normally leave out!
On this episode of #VelshiBannedBookClub, MSNBC host and Citizen board member Ali Velshi sits down with George Takei to discuss his graphic novel "They Called Us Enemy." Takei's book draws from his experiences as a victim of the Japanese-American internment camps.

Probablemente 2020 no sea el año más indicado para recordar con gusto. En medio de una pandemia global, la Comicon de San Diego se sustituyó por un apaño online, pero al menos sirvió para no repetir 1990 y quedarnos sin Premios Eisner. Y es que por abominable que fuera 2020, se trataba de premiar los tebeos de 2019 y fueron muchos y buenos. Aquel año teníamos por ahí Criminal, The Dreaming, Immortal Hulk, Little Bird, Sentient, Invisible Kingdom, Once & Future, Something Is Killing the Children, Guts, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass, Kiss Number 8, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, They Called Us Enemy, Are You Listening?, Bezimena… ahí es nada. Bienvenidos a nuestro antepenúltimo programa de los Eisner. Sabed, oh-yentes, que entre los años del hundimiento de Atlantis y sus brillantes ciudades, tragadas por los océanos, y los años del nacimiento de los hijos de Aryas, hubo una edad no soñada donde podía escucharse el podcast 278 de ELHDT.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 8! February 19, 2022 marked 80 years since the signing of Executive Order 9066 that wrongly imprisoned over 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. Of the ten concentration camps that the U.S. government created (and referred to as relocation centers), Tule Lake was the most brutal. For our main segment, we talk about the history of the Tule Lake Segregation Center. We also take time to remember Christina Yuna Lee, another Asian American woman who was murdered in New York.

The cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds brilliantly captures the ambitions and pretensions of the literary world, and the journalist and curator Paul Gravett has worked in comics publishing for decades. Together they bring graphic novels and comic books to the foreground with the Slightly Foxed team. We draw moral lessons from the Ally Sloper cartoons of the 1870s, glimpse Frans Masereel's wordless woodcut stories of the 1920s, view the pictorial politics of Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo in the 1940s and revisit Art Spiegelman's 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus before taking a closer look at more contemporary works. From a tragicomic summer with Joff Winterhart, nuclear explosions with Raymond Briggs, the shadow of James Joyce with Mary and Bryan Talbot and an Iranian childhood with Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the discussion moves through panels, frames, splashes and spreads to Posy Simmonds's own methods in bringing literature to life, including crosshatching to Vivaldi. Originally serialized in the Guardian, Posy's Gemma Bovery builds on the bones of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Tamara Drewe draws from Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, while Cassandra Darke takes inspiration from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Though rooted in the classics, the devil is in Posy's detail, be it real French coffee pots, the joy of characters' names, such as Kevin Penwallet, and fictional places, such as Tresoddit. We continue our travels off the beaten track with our usual round-up of reading recommendations, and a trip to Gilbert White's House and Gardens in Hampshire, where we view the landscapes that sparked his evergreen classic The Natural History of Selborne.

主持／編輯糖蜜、七號 ｜「美國永遠的外來種族？」 「此刻，他成為了戰時的『敵國僑民』....」2020年是二戰結束75周年，那些被時間長河淘洗的歷史殘片、被「戰勝光環」表象所掩蓋的問題，多年來透過各種史料的採集與考證，人們更能夠理性、正面檢討戰爭背後的晦暗難題。 其中，就包含美國在當時戰爭的緊繃局勢下，日裔美國人被困在「兩個祖國」——美國與日本——的雙重壓力下，一段曾經沉默無聲的被壓迫者的故事。 好萊塢著名的時日裔美籍明星喬治・武井（George Takei），60年代曾以《星艦迷航記》（Star Trek）系列聞名，飾演劇中星艦企業號的舵手「蘇魯上尉」，也以此成為科幻迷與影迷的經典角色。 武井出生的年代正是世界大戰關鍵的1937年，當他5歲的時候，就因為美日開戰的緣故，跟著家人進入日裔美國人的拘留營；這段回憶，紀錄在2019年武井出版的自傳作品《他們稱我們為敵》（They Called Us Enemy），以圖文小說的形式回顧長達近4年的隔離記憶。 【本期選書】 《他們稱我們為敵》（They Called Us Enemy） 作者：喬治・武井／史蒂芬・史考特／賈斯汀・艾辛格／ Harmony Becker 出版：Top Shelf Productions，2019年
Actor George Takei's Firsthand Account of His Childhood in an Internment Camp for Japanese Americans (0:32)Guest: George Takei, Actor/Activist/Author of “They Called Us Enemy” George Takei shot to fame aboard the Starship Enterprise – even taking the captain's chair on occasion. Before Takei was Star Trek's Sulu, he was a child, imprisoned with his family because of their Japanese heritage. By the time Takei left the World War II internment camps, he was 9 years old and had spent nearly half his life behind barbed-wire. Takei's story was the basis of a hit Broadway musical in which he co-starred with Lea Salonga called Allegiance. Now Takei has written a memoir about his childhood in the “relocation camps.” It's a graphic novel titled “They Called Us Enemy.” (Originally aired 7/16/19) How Emojis Are Impacting the Law (20:23)Guest: Eric Goldman Is a Professor of Law at Santa Clara University School of Law, Co-Director, High Tech Law InstituteNow that we're all using emojis as a regular part of communication, they're starting to pop up lawsuits. A judge or jury might have to decide if somebody's thumbs-up emoji at the end of a text exchange was a firm commitment or just a way to end the conversation. If you give a thumbs up emoji is that the same as signing your name to a document? (Originally aired 11/4/2019) Proprioception: Our Sixth Sense (32:31)Guest: Alexander Chesler, Principal Investigator at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, NIHTry this: Close your eyes and touch your finger to your nose. Pretty easy, right? You just engaged your sixth sense. It's called proprioception and it's what makes it possible for professional ice skaters to do triple axels, helps basketball players dunk a ball, and helps us all maintain that six-foot distance between each other right now. Surprisingly, researchers have only recently started to understand how it works. (Originally aired 1/16/20 at 2:40 PM) Speedgate: New Sport Created by AI (50:43)Guest: Whitney Jenkins, Creative Director, AKQAArtificial intelligence created a new sport called "Speedgate," and it's catching on around the world. The game is a mix between rugby, croquet, soccer, and ultimate frisbee. The sport's motto? "Face the ball to be the ball to be above the ball" - definitely sounds like something written by a computer. (Originally aired 9/9/19) Fashion That Is Always Digital, Never Physical (1:09:21)Guest: Kerry Murphy, Founder and CEO of the FabricantWith so many people working from home, there's debate about what kind of attire is appropriate for video conference meetings. There's a Dutch digital design firm called The Fabricant that practically anticipated this conundrum months ago. They're developing clothes that exist only in the digital world. You'll one day be able to buy a custom suit or designer gown. It's just a digital file, so you can't wear it in real life. But who cares when you get credit for looking great on Instagram or Zoom, while still wearing your sweats. (Originally aired 1/13/20) Remembering the Overlooked Figures in History Through Obituaries (1:23:44)Guest: Amy Padnani Is an Editor on the Obituaries Desk at the New York Time and the Creator of OverlookedNotable deaths due to the coronavirus dominate the obituary page of the New York Times right now. Now, normally the cause of death wouldn't be so important in getting an obit in the Times. Mainly you'd just need to be a white man who did something interesting. When Amy Padnani became an obituaries editor at the New York Times she looked through the archives and wondered, “Where are all the women?” Then she launched a new project called “Overlooked” to set the record straight. For two years, the obituaries staff has been writing tributes to people the paper missed: Computer programmer Ada Lovelace. Journalist and civil rights activist Ida B. Wells. Poet Sylvia Plath. “Jane Eyre” author Charlotte Bronte. Plus, lots of names you wouldn't recognize but should. (Originally aired 11/6/2019)

Today we speak with actor and human-rights activist George Takei, not about his role as Lieutenant Sulu on the original Star Trek, but about a far more troubling chapter in his life. In his new graphic memoir They Called Us Enemy, George writes in detail about his childhood spent in an internment camp for Japanese-American citizens. It's a vivid account of one of the darkest times in America’s history as well as a wake-up call to a country currently detaining tens of thousands of immigrants and their families. Is there still time to learn from our past mistakes or have the politics of fear and division already caused us, as a nation, to repeat them? GUESTS: George Takei - Actor, Human-rights activist and spokesperson, as well as author of the New York Time's best-selling graphic memoir They Called Us Enemy Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter. Colin McEnroe, Chion Wolf, and Jonathan McNicol contributed to this show, which originally aired on August 21, 2019.Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
With an acting career spanning six decades, George Takei is known around the world for his founding role in the acclaimed television series “Star Trek,” in which he played Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise. But Takei's story goes where few stories have gone before. From a childhood spent with his family wrongfully imprisoned in Japanese American internment camps during World War II to becoming one of the country's leading figures in the fight for social justice, LGBTQ rights and marriage equality, Takei remains a powerful voice on issues ranging from politics to pop culture. Mashable.com named him the no. 1 most influential person on Facebook, currently with 10.4 million likes and 2.8 million followers on Twitter. Takei hosts the AARP-produced YouTube series “Takei's Take,” and is the subject of To Be Takei, a Jennifer M. Kroot documentary on his life and career. "Takei's Take" explores the world of technology, trends, current events and pop culture. On his own YouTube channel, Takei and his husband Brad Takei bring viewers into their personal life in the heightened reality web series, “It Takeis Two.” Takei made his Broadway debut in the musical, Allegiance, inspired by his true-life experience in American internment camps. Allegiance ran in New York in 2015 and 2016 and had its Los Angeles premiere in 2018. In his new graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, Takei revisits his haunted childhood in American concentration camps as one of 120,000 Japanese Americans imprisoned by the U.S. government during World War II. He details the forces that shaped him—and America itself—in a tale of courage, country, loyalty and love. Come for a rare visit with an American icon about his life, his activism and his ongoing mission to ensure that, at least on Earth, very few frontiers are final.

George Takei is in Vancouver as he signs copies of his bestselling new graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy. Long before Takei braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's - and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future. His memoir recounts the impact on his family of the order by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942 that every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was to be rounded up and shipped to one of ten “relocation centers,” where they would be held for years under armed guard. He spoke about this during his interview with Simi on Monday's edition of the show. Guest: George Takei Actor/ Author of They Called Us Enemy
