Routledge Legacies of the Asia-Pacific War Book

Explore the complex social landscape of post-war Japan with Legacies of the Asia-Pacific War: The Yakeato Generation. Part of the Routledge Contemporary Japan Series, this academic work examines the various peripheral groups that emerged from the aftermath of the Asia-Pacific War. Through detailed research, the book investigates the experiences of disenfranchised people, including Koreans in Japan, Burakumin, Hibakusha, Okinawans, and Asian minorities. It adds a significant and controversial perspective to the existing corpus of disenfranchised literature. By focusing on those who have often been voiceless or powerless, this text provides a deep look into the historical and social realities faced by these marginalized communities. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in East Asian history and the social consequences of war.
