Non-Western Colonization, Orientalism, and the 'Comfort Women: The
Collective Memory of Sexual Slavery under the Japanese Imperial
Military examines the collective memory of sexual slavery under the
Japanese Imperial Military in Japan over the past seventy-five
years. Euphemistically known as the "comfort women," tens of
thousands of young females were forced into sexual servitude for
Japanese soldiers during the Asia-Pacific War. The majority of
these women are believed to have been deceitfully or forcibly taken
from Korea, a former Japanese colony. The ways in which sexual
slavery has been remembered in Japan lies at the root of a
long-standing diplomatic conflict between Japan and South Korea and
has fueled a "memory war" among Japanese scholars and activists.
The author argues that Korean "comfort women" have been exoticized
in the collective memory similarly to "Oriental" women's
presentations by Western Orientalists. This book is a comprehensive
analysis of the memory of sexual slavery in Japan, examining
various artifacts produced since the end of the Asia-Pacific War,
including nonfiction books, novels, newspaper articles, popular and
documentary films, and a commemorative museum. It provides novel
insights into a decade old international and domestic controversy.
