In recent years, international attention has been recurrently drawn
to violence against civilians including sexual violence during war
as a means of furthering military or political goals. The ongoing
issue of comfort women has been debated not only among Asian
countries including Japan, Korea, China, Indonesia, and the
Philippines but also in numerous international forums.This book
examines the system of military comfort women in Asia and the
Pacific created and maintained by Japan during World War II. It
uses the comfort women system as a lens for exploring the ways in
which body, sexuality and identity are deployed in the creation of
patriarchal relations, ethnic hierarchies, and colonial/nationalist
power. This book analyzes the role and nature of the comfort women
system as a mechanism of social control by the colonial state. This
requires the examining of sexuality and body politics, the social
background of the victims, wartime working conditions, and
regulation of soldiers' sexuality.This book aims to contribute to
both the academic community and the community of civic groups
through a work that spans the dimensions of history, theory and
activism.
