Lisa Yoneyama is Professor of East Asian Studies and Women & Gender Studies at the University of Toronto, the coeditor of Perilous Memories: The Asia-Pacific War(s), also published by Duke University Press, and the author of Hiroshima Traces: Time, Space, and the Dialectics of Memory.
In Cold War Ruins Lisa Yoneyama argues that the efforts intensifying since the 1990s to bring justice to the victims of Japanese military and colonial violence have generated what she calls a "transborder redress culture." A product of failed post-World War II transitional justice that left many colonial legacies intact, this culture both contests and reiterates the complex transwar and transpacific entanglements that have sustained the Cold War unredressability and illegibility of certain violences. By linking justice to the effects of American geopolitical hegemony, and by deploying a conjunctive cultural critique—of "comfort women" redress efforts, state-sponsored apologies and amnesties, Asian American involvement in redress cases, the ongoing effects of the U.S. occupation of Japan and Okinawa, Japanese atrocities in China, and battles over WWII memories—Yoneyama helps illuminate how redress culture across Asia and the Pacific has the potential to bring powerful new and challenging perspectives on American exceptionalism, militarized security, justice, sovereignty, forgiveness, and decolonization.

評分不要被Intro的拗口騙瞭,章節內容其實很平易近人的。封麵真的是看久瞭會做噩夢,結閤內容再看更令人難過。作者的問題:程序正義真的能解決戰爭罪行對殖民地人民造成的傷害嗎?謝罪是否等同於原諒?如何言說無法原諒的罪行?
評分主要處理美國與日本的關係,反思在冷戰格局中的pax americana及其遺緒,其述「正義」極為強調性別與種族,「伸張正義」被政治工具化的擔憂,以及universalized rights與其隱含的帝國主義遮蔽作用。
評分Intro本身就非常豐富瞭. Annotated. Rethinking justice through coalitions.
