The Taiwanese Roots of East Asia’s War Redress Movement: An Alternate Genealogy
Pages 279–335, https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcl/avaf009
Conventional wisdom pinpoints the origins of East Asia’s World War II redress movement in 1990, with the emergence of the “comfort women” issue and subsequent transnational litigation. This Article challenges that narrative by excavating a series of lawsuits, filed by Taiwanese citizens in Japanese courts from the 1970s.
