About the Author
Miné Okubo(1912 - 2001) was born in California. From 1939 to 1942 she was employed as a Works Progress Administration artist. In 1944 she was hired by Fortune magazine and relocated to New York, where she continued to work as an artist, with solo and group exhibitions at museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Reviews

"Originally published in 1946, Citizen 13660 is a documentation of life inside the World War II "relocation centers" for those of Japanese ancestry. This oft-overlooked portion of American history is brought poignantly to life by Okubo's expressive ink drawings and accompanying text. . . . Without a doubt, this book should be on required reading lists for high schools across the country."

-- "Foreword Reviews"

"This forerunner to the modern graphic memoir is a must read, both for the important - and shameful - period of American history it documents and its poignant beauty."

--Printers Row Journal "Chicago Tribune"
