" This graphic history tells the story of Canada's first national internment operations through the eyes of John Boychuk, an internee held in Kapuskasing from 1914-17. The story is based on Boychuk's actual memoir, which is the only comprehensive internee testimony in existence. The novel follows Boychuk from his arrest in Toronto to Kapuskasing, where he spends just over 3 years. It details the everyday struggle of the internees in the camp, including forced labour and exploitation, abuse from guards, malnutrition, and homesickness. It also documents moments of internee agency and resistance, such as work slowdowns and stoppages, hunger strikes, escape attempts, and riots. Little is known about the lives of the incarcerated once the paper trail stops, but Enemy Alien subsequently traces Boychuk's parole, his search for work, his attempts to organize a union, and his ultimate settlement in Winnipeg. Boychuk's reflections emphasize the much broader context in which internment takes place. This was not an isolated incident, but rather part and parcel of Canadian nation building and the directives of Canada's settler colonial project.… (altro)

I've read multiple accounts of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, but this is the first I have ever heard of Ukrainians being imprisoned in Canada during World War I along with other immigrants who bore Austro Hungarian passports. The Canadian government used them as forced labor to build their own prison and clear forest land that was developed after the war for agricultural and other commercial purposes by third parties.
This adaptation of an anonymous personal narrative by one of the internees written in the 1940s is full of prisoner strikes and reactionary brutality by the police and guards. It's ironic that this occurred partly due to the Red Scare, but the poor treatment radicalized some of the prisoners and/or motivated them to join labor unions and engage in strikes after leaving the camps.
I am always freshly amazed by the amount of evil and darkness hidden in history's nooks and crannies. ( )

As I walked back into town, I remembered what all of us internees promised each other in the camp. We were going to tell the world about how we were tortured . . . and it would become a part of history.
