Japan's Contested War Memories - The 'Memory Rifts' in Historical Consciousness of World War II - Hardback - 2006

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.
