This book explores five cases of monument and public commemorative
space related to World War II (WWII) in contemporary China
(Mainland), Hong Kong and Taiwan, all of which were built either
prior to or right after the end of the War and their physical
existence still remains. Through the study on the monuments, the
project illustrates past and ongoing controversies and
contestations over Chinese nation, sovereignty, modernism and
identity. Despite their historical affinities, the three societies
in question, namely, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, vary in
their own ways of telling, remembering and forgetting WWII. These
divergences are not only rooted in their different political
circumstances and social experiences, but also in their current
competitions, confrontations and integrations. This book will be of
great interest to historians, sinologists and analysts of new Asian
nationalism.
