About the series
A single-issue graphic novel from First Second, Displacement is a time-travel story by writer-artist Kiku Hughes that explores the legacy of Japanese American incarceration during World War II. The narrative follows a teenager who is transported back to the 1940s, where she must navigate the daily realities of life in an internment camp alongside her grandmother. Hughes’s deeply personal research and evocative art give this self-contained work a resonant, intimate power, making it a vital contribution to the growing library of comics about historical injustice.
