Confronting Memories of World War II
European and Asian Legacies
By directly comparing European and Asian legacies, Confronting Memories of World War II, provides unique insight into the way that World War II continues to influence contemporary attitudes and politics on a global scale. The collection brings together experts from a variety of disciplines and perspectives to explore the often overlooked commonalities between European and Asian handling of memories and reflections about guilt. These commonalities suggest new understandings of the war's legacy and the continuing impact of historical trauma.
About the Authors
Reviews
"Wars evoke powerful emotions: grief and pride, humiliation and honor, outrage and exultation. As this excellent volume reveals, such feelings can come to form essential parts of national mythologies, and this has been especially so in the case of World War II."—Foreign Affairs
"A forceful and timely warning about the dangers of leaving problematic memory legacies unresolved."—Albert J. Schmidt, Michigan War Studies Review
"[R]efreshingly evenhanded....Even those who have studied these issues extensively will find new ideas in this publication."—Ivo Plsek, Pacific Affairs
Endorsements
"This truly 'international' edited volume on the issues of war, memory, and national identity explores how memories about wartime experiences—including criminality, collaboration and reconciliation—are shaped and reshaped, connected to questions of national identity, and used for domestic and international political purposes."—Patricia L. Maclachlan, University of Texas, Austin
