The Politics of War Memory in Japan (eBook, PDF)

Progressive Civil Society Groups and Contestation of Memory of the Asia-Pacific War

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Politics of War Memory in Japan examines the involvement of five civil society actors in the struggle over remembering and addressing the wartime past in Japan today. In studying progressive war memory activists, it quickly becomes clear that the apologia by conservative politicians cannot be treated as representative of the opinion of the majority of the Japanese public. Indeed, this book seeks to remedy the disparity between studies devoted to the official level of addressing the 'history issue' and the grass-root historical revisionist movement on the one side, and progressive activism on the other.
