Although the Japanese empire rapidly dissolved following the end of
World War II, the memories, mourning, and trauma of the nation's
imperial exploits continue to haunt Korea, China, and Taiwan. In
Anti-Japan Leo T. S. Ching traces the complex dynamics that shape
persisting negative attitudes toward Japan throughout East Asia.
Drawing on a mix of literature, film, testimonies, and popular
culture, Ching shows how anti-Japanism stems from the failed
efforts at decolonization and reconciliation, the Cold War and the
ongoing U.S. military presence, and shifting geopolitical and
economic conditions in the region. At the same time, pro-Japan
sentiments in Taiwan reveal a Taiwanese desire to recoup that which
was lost after the Japanese empire fell. Anti-Japanism, Ching
contends, is less about Japan itself than it is about the real and
imagined relationships between it and China, Korea, and Taiwan.
Advocating for forms of healing that do not depend on state-based
diplomacy, Ching suggests that reconciliation requires that Japan
acknowledge and take responsibility for its imperial history.
