Over the past four decades, East and Southeast Asia have seen a
proliferation of heritage sites and remembrance practices which
commemorate the region's bloody conflicts of the period 1931-45.
Remembering Asia's World War Two examines the origins, dynamics,
and repercussions of this regional war "memory boom". The book
analyzes the politics of war commemoration in contemporary East and
Southeast Asia. Featuring contributions from leading international
scholars, the chapters span China, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and
Singapore, covering topics such as the commemoration of the
Japanese military's "comfort women" system, forms of "dark tourism"
or commemorative pilgrimages (e.g. veterans' tours to wartime
battlefields), and the establishment and evolution of various
war-related heritage sites and museums. Case studies reveal the
distinctive trajectories of new and newly discovered forms of
remembrance within and across national boundaries. They highlight
the growing influence of non-state actors over representations of
conflict and occupation, as well as the increasingly interconnected
and transnational character of memory-making. Taken together, the
studies collected here demonstrate that across much of Asia the
public commemoration of the wars of 1931-45 has begun to shift from
portraying them as a series of national conflicts with distinctive
local meanings to commemorating the conflict as a common pan-Asian,
or even global, experience. Focusing on non-textual vehicles for
public commemoration and considering both the local and
international dimensions of war commemoration within, Remembering
Asia's World War Two will be a crucial reference for students and
scholars of History, Memory Studies, and Heritage Studies, as well
as all those interested in the history, politics, and culture of
contemporary Asia.
