Japan's Contested War Memories: The 'Memory Rifts' in Historical Consciousness of World War II
Philip A. Seaton
This is an important and significant book that explores the struggles within modern Japanese society to come to terms with Second World War history.
Abstract: Explores the struggles within contemporary Japanese society to come to terms with Second World War history. Analyzing the variety of ways in which the Japanese people narrate, contest and interpret the past, this book also provides a contrast to the many orthodox statements about Japanese 'ignorance', amnesia' and 'denial' about the war.
