CJS Thursday Noon Lecture Series | For Whom and for What Purposes?: Peace and War Museums in Japan and Its Neighbors
Takashi Yoshida, Professor of History, Western Michigan University
This lecture will be in-person only and will not be recorded.
Japan and its neighboring nations invaded by its military during WWII host numerous history museums dedicated to the WWII period. Each museum seems to have its political goals to convey its visitors. This talk analyzes Japan's so-called war and peace museums in the context of East Asia.
Takashi Yoshida is a professor of history at Western Michigan University. His publications include From Cultures of War to Cultures of Peace: War and Peace Museums in Japan, China, and South Korea (Merwin Asia, 2014) and The Making of the “Rape of Nanking”: History and Memory in Japan, China, and the United States (Oxford University Press, 2006).
This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.
