The Making of the "Rape of Nanking": History and Memory in Japan, China, and the United States (Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University.) by Takashi Yoshida |
my rating:
|
Sayaka said:
"Each chapter is very short and easy to read. Alternatively, he has a nice chapter in Fei Fei Li, Robert Sabella and David Liu, eds., Nanking 1937: Memory and Healing that you can read.

Bodies of Memory (Paperback) by Yoshikuni Igarashi |
my rating:
|
|
Sayaka said:
"3.5 stars. I was moved by Igarashi's passion while reading it, but also became a little tired of his argument of bodies. An unusually thoughtful piece, though.

Postwar Japan as History (Paperback) by Andrew Gordon |
my rating:
|
|
Sayaka said:
"This is like an intellectual buffet. Taste different things as many or few as you want! Gordon's conclusion is a great summary so take a look at it first to shop which articles you want to read.

The Japanese Colonial Empire, 1895-1945 (Paperback) by Mark R. Peattie |
my rating:
|
|
Sayaka said:
"The introduction by Peattie is really good. It's an old piece but still the most readable and well-balanced summary of what the Japanese empire was like. The qualities of the other articles vary. A useful book, though.

"Childhood is both a chronological stage and a mental construct, an existential fact and a locus of desire, a mythological country continuously mapped by grownups in search of their subjectivity in another time and space."
