Description

Explore the complex layers of Japan's historical identity with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines the concept of "that war" and how its duration is interpreted, from the fifteen-year Asia-Pacific conflict to the broader century-long struggle between East and West. By analyzing these historical narratives, the text addresses how certain dramatizations reinforce Eurocentric and Orientalist views regarding historical development and agency in the non-West. It provides a deep look into the "history problem" that persists nearly 75 years after the nominal end of the war. This work is an essential resource for readers interested in how international politics and historicism shape our understanding of the past and its impact on modern relations.

Discusses how Eurocentric and Orientalist discourses affect perceptions of historical agency in the non-West.
