This essay examines Miné Okubo’s Citizen 13660 (1946), an autobiographical graphic novel, as one of the few critical voices of the Japanese internment camps in the 1940s, focusing on the concept of multivocality represented in Okubo’s Citizen 13660 as a result of the multimodality of a graphic narrative. By examining different ways Okubo includes herself in the illustrations and written texts, I argue that the multimodal aspect of graphic narrative enables Okubo to overcome the limitations of hegemonic expressive forms silencing marginal voices, and instead successfully invent an alternative perspective on the hidden and marginal history of Japanese internment. By doing so, I will show how Citizen 13660 opens up a productive and critical space of understanding history through multimodal media generating multi-voices.
