| Summary |
This volume explores how East Asia's tumultuous years between 1931 and 1953 have been recreated and renegotiated in cinema. This period saw traumatic conflicts, such as the Sino-Japanese War, the Pacific War and the Korean War, as well as pivotal events, including the Rape of Nanjing, Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Iwo Jima and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all of which left a lasting imprint on East Asia and the world. By bringing together a variety of specialists in the cinemas of the region and offering divergent yet complementary perspectives, this title examines how the legacies of war have been reimagined through the lens of film |
