History is not simply about recording past events—it is often contested, negotiated, and reshaped over time. Debate over the history of World War II in Asia remains surprisingly intense, and \u003ci\u003eDivergent Memories\u003c\/i\u003e examines the opinions of powerful individuals to pinpoint the sources of conflict: from Japanese colonialism in Korea and atrocities in China to the American decision to use atomic weapons against Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than labeling others' views as \"distorted\" or ignoring dissenting voices to create a monolithic historical account, Gi-Wook Shin and Daniel Sneider pursue a more fruitful approach: analyzing how historical memory has developed, been formulated, and even been challenged in each country. By identifying key factors responsible for these differences, \u003ci\u003e Divergent Memories\u003c\/i\u003e provides the tools for readers to both approach their own national histories with reflection and to be more understanding of others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gi-Wook Shin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294793445627,"sku":"9780804798891","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780804798891.jpg?v=1772482656","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/divergent-memories-9780804798891","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
