Censoring History: Citizenship and Memory in Japan, Germany And The United States published by M.E. Sharpe (2000)

Censoring History: Citizenship and Memory in Japan, Germany And The United States published by M.E. Sharpe (2000)

This provocative collection of essays addresses ongoing controversies over coverage of World War II in Japanese, German and American textbooks. The book shows how sanitized treatments of war crimes, racism, and other injustices have mobilized fierce debate internationally as well as within the three countries. Together these essays paint a compelling picture of how official narratives of a country's past both shape and are shaped by the citizen's view of the nation. Specific issues discussed include the Japanese movement to "correct" history; identity and transationalization in German textbooks; the Vietnam War in high school American History; the teaching of Japan's colonization of Korea in Japanese and Korean schools; Holocaust education for youth in the New Germany; and how American and Japanese educators teach the Pacific War.
