The pre-modern history of Asia as a whole

of the literature.
The history of Asia in the era of World War II
- 'Comfort Women' Battle On Despite Legal Blow
- By Suvendrini Kakuchi, IPS, 12 October 1998. Concerning
the Japanese use of sex slaves recruited from Asia outside Japan.
- Historical parallels of Japanese economic
expansion
- A dialog frm the H-Asia list, January 1998. The question
is how to evaluate political expansion that arguably
results in an improvement in the people's wellbeing,
arguably unites peoples having a degree of shared culture
or a shared need for the strength to confront the wider
hostile world? Example of how morally challenging
questions are evaded lest they expose the contradictions
of the bourgeois state.
- Observations on Japan War
- A dialog from the H-Asia list, February 1998. An attack
on Japanese brutal expansionism that rather misses the point
of the question, as the list moderator implies.
