100%. My hot literary take is that literary fiction IS a genre, just like science fiction, horror, mystery etc. The way lit fic is treated in western culture as though it is not a genre (those awful unwashed genre masses!) is disturbingly similar to how white people are thought not to have a color.

Read THE AGE OF INCARCERATION to learn more about Japanese American incarceration from some of the last survivors of it.
Japanese American Incarceration Survivors Remember What the US Forgot
During WWII, President Roosevelt invoked the Alien Enemies Act and incarcerated 125,000 Japanese Americans. Eighty years later, some of the camps’ last survivors reflect on lives scarred by injustice.
