Cold War Ruins

Transpacific Critique of American Justice and Japanese War Crimes

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Lisa Yoneyama argues that the efforts intensifying since the 1990s to bring justice to the victims of Japanese military and colonial violence have generated what she calls a "transborder redress culture" that has the potential to bring powerful challenging perspectives on American exceptionalism, militarized security, justice, sovereignty, forgiveness, and decolonization.
