In The Japanese and the War, Michael Lucken details how World War II manifested in the literature, art, film, funerary practices, and education reform of the time. Concentrating on the years immediately before and after (1937 to 1952), Lucken explores the creation of an idea of Japanese identity that still resonates in everything from soap operas to the response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster.Lucken defines three distinct layers of Japan's memory of World War II: the population's expectations at the beginning, the trauma caused by conflict and defeat, and the politics of memory that arose after Japan lost to the Allied powers. Emphasizing Japanese-language sources, Lucken writes a narrative of the making of Japanese cultural memory that moves away from Western historical modes and perspectives. His approach also paints a new portrait of the U.S. occupation, while still maintaining a cultural focus. Lucken sets out to capture the many ways people engage with war, but particularly the full range of Japan's experiences, which, he argues, the Japanese state has yet to fully confront, leading to a range of tensions at home and abroad. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zJapan$xHistoriography 606 $aCollective memory$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMemory$xSocial aspects$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xInfluence 606 $aWar and society$zJapan$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aJapan$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xHistoriography. 615 0$aCollective memory$xHistory 615 0$aMemory$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xInfluence. 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory 676 $a940.5352 700 $aLucken$b Michael$01092850 702 $aGrimwade$b Karen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792626003321 996 $aThe Japanese and the war$93801384 997 $aUNINA
