This volume brings to English-language readers the results of an
important long-term project of historians from China and Japan
addressing contentious issues in their shared modern histories.
Originally published simultaneously in Chinese and Japanese in
2006, the thirteen essays in this collection focus renewed
attention on a set of political and historiographical controversies
that have steered and stymied Sino-Japanese relations from the
mid-nineteenth century through World War II to the present.
These in-depth contributions explore a range of themes, from
prewar diplomatic relations and conflicts, to wartime collaboration
and atrocity, to postwar commemorations and textbook debates--all
while grappling with the core issue of how history has been
researched, written, taught, and understood in both countries. In
the context of a wider trend toward cross-national dialogues over
historical issues, this volume can be read as both a progress
report and a case study of the effort to overcome contentious
problems of history in East Asia.
