In Cold War Ruins Lisa Yoneyama argues that the efforts
intensifying since the 1990s to bring justice to the victims of
Japanese military and colonial violence have generated what she
calls a "transborder redress culture." A product of failed
post-World War II transitional justice that left many colonial
legacies intact, this culture both contests and reiterates the
complex transwar and transpacific entanglements that have sustained
the Cold War unredressability and illegibility of certain
violences. By linking justice to the effects of American
geopolitical hegemony, and by deploying a conjunctive cultural
critique-of "comfort women" redress efforts, state-sponsored
apologies and amnesties, Asian American involvement in redress
cases, the ongoing effects of the U.S. occupation of Japan and
Okinawa, Japanese atrocities in China, and battles over WWII
memories-Yoneyama helps illuminate how redress culture across Asia
and the Pacific has the potential to bring powerful new and
challenging perspectives on American exceptionalism, militarized
security, justice, sovereignty, forgiveness, and decolonization.
