Complicit white people by the thousands watched as their neighbors were dragged to internment camps. America set up the idea of the model citizen— do this, worship that, wear this, buy this— then pulled that rug out from under certain people’s feet as soon as jobs and resources were scarce. No matter how hard anyone at Minidoka tried to be model citizens, to not “resist”, etc. they were treated as sub-human by their guards, the scientists, and the rest of America. They felt they had to make themselves smaller to earn their rights back, to no avail, and it’s maddeningly sad. I doubt the term existed back then but it’s respectability politics hard at work, making POC turn the hate inflicted on them towards themselves instead of striking back at the actual source (white people).
The most galling & unfortunately accurate thing about this story is that
Meiko & her daughter deserve $10 million cash and to be left the fuck alone.
Pacing was a tad slow but picked up in the middle, and I liked the narrative style. THATS how you do an alternating timeline (im looking at you, Rin Chupeco)
