Through an innovative interdisciplinary study of the politics of gendered memory and trauma in historical context, with numerous primary sources for analysis including diaries, interviews, letters and oral testimonies, this book uncovers the life-or-death struggles of Japanese survivors in pursuit of public recognition as the victims of state violence against women. It is set within a gender history of modern Japan, supplemented by feminist activist methodology premised upon political agency that seeks social justice. The author’s analysis draws upon three key concepts: trauma, coherence of the self, and integrity. Focusing upon the role of gender and trauma as the nexus between memory construction and identity formation in modern Japan, the author reveals these women’s relentless quest for their recovery and creation of new identities. This book provides a better understanding of the victims of sexual violence and encourages readers to listen to the voice of trauma, as well as making a significant contribution to the existing research on the ongoing history of sexual violence against women in Japan, the rest of Asia and beyond. It will be of interest to scholars, researchers, activists and all who are interested in the issue of women’s human rights. It provides supplementary reading and research material for history and politics courses relating to Japan and East Asia, memory, identity, trauma, gender, war and feminist activism. This book will also be beneficial to victims of sexual violence as well as the counsellors/psychologists engaging with them." 2022-05-30T10:16:34Z 2022-05-30T10:16:34Z 2022 chapter 9781032067469 9781032067506 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/54718 eng jpn application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781003203698_10.4324-9781003203698-4.pdf Taylor & Francis The Politics of Trauma and Integrity Routledge 10.4324/9781003203698-4 10.4324/9781003203698-4 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb a8a1ecaa-8e37-4d67-bc9f-6490b1c8af27 9781032067469 9781032067506 Routledge 31 open access
