Summary The author reexamines the dispute over historical perception between Japan and South Korea, identifying the many independent variables that have affected the situation. From the history textbook debates, to the Occupation-period exploitation of "comfort women," to the Dokdo/Takeshima territory dispute and Yasukuni Shrine visits, the author traces the rise and fall of popular, political, and international concerns underlying these complex and highly-fraught issues. Utilizing Japanese and South Korean newspaper databases to review discussion of the two countries' disputed historical perceptions from the end of World War II to the twenty-first century, the author provides readers with the historical framework and the major players involved, offering clarity on polarizing issues. By looking behind the public discourse and political rhetoric, this book offers a firmer footing for discussion and steps toward resolution.--adapted from publisher's description.
