Shedding new light on how the histories of zainichi Koreans have
been written, consumed, and discussed, this book addresses the
roots of postwar debates concerning the wartime experiences of
Koreans in Japan. Providing an overview of the complicated
historiography, it explores the experiences of Koreans located at
Ground Zero in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the history and
processes that coerced Korean women into military prostitution.
These debates and controversies continue to attract attention
regionally and globally, and as this book demonstrates, they are
deeply embedded in ideas dating back decades earlier. By tracing
the roots of these debates in historical writings from local
history groups to zainichi and Japanese scholars, we may see how
written histories have been used for particular social, political,
or cultural purposes, and how they have lent support to certain
interpretations and memories of past events across the political
spectrum. Interdisciplinary at its core, Voices of the Korean
Minority in Postwar Japan will appeal to audiences including those
interested in modern Japanese and Korean history, historiography
and methodology, and memory studies.
