In both Europe and Asia, common questions of criminality, guilt, and collaboration have intersected with history and politics on the local level to shape the way that wartime experience has been memorialized, reinterpreted, and used. By directly comparing European and Asian legacies, Confronting Memories of World War II, provides unique insight into the way that World War II continues to influence contemporary attitudes and politics on a global scale. The collection brings together experts from a variety of disciplines and perspectives to explore the often overlooked commonalities between European and Asian handling of memories and reflections about guilt. These commonalities suggest new understandings of the war's legacy and the continuing impact of historical trauma. Daniel Chirot is Herbert J. Ellison Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies at the University of Washington. Gi-Wook Shin is director of the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University, as well as holder of the Tong Yang, Korea Foundation, and Korea Stanford Alumni Chair of Korean Studies.

There is no trace of idealization--the book is objective, clear-minded, and historically poignant. A substantial, truly enriching addition in terms of a global comparative approach"--Vladimir Tismaneanu, University of Maryland, College Park; "This truly 'international' edited volume on the issues of war, memory, and national identity explores how memories about wartime experiences--including criminality, collaboration and reconciliation--are shaped and reshaped, connected to questions of national identity, and used for domestic and international political purposes"--Patricia L. Maclachlan, University of Texas, Austin"--Provided by publisher.World War, 1939-1945Social aspectsEuropeWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsAsiaWorld War, 1939-1945InfluenceCollective memoryEuropeEuropePolitics and government1945-AsiaPolitics and government1945-World War, 1939-1945Social aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsWorld War, 1939-1945Influence.Collective memory940.53/1HIS027100HIS003000HIS010000bisacshChirot Daniel158335Shin Gi-Wook929772Sneider Daniel1663357MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811175103321Confronting memories of World War II4020618UNINA
