"Run by the Japanese Imperial Military during the Asia-Pacific war, the 'comfort women'
system remains hugely controversial. Whilst political leaders often contest the role
of coercion, many argue that the 'comfort women' were mobilized forcibly, through
processes of abduction and deception. Utilising archival research, legal testimonies
and eyewitness accounts of both survivors and military and civilian personnel, this
book argues its case in three ways. Part I analyses the modalities of coercion employed
by the authorities and investigates the historical differences between licensed peacetime
prostitution and wartime slavery. Part II then examines the failures of the Asian
Women's Fund to resolve the 'comfort women' issue, whilst Part III explores the removal
of 'comfort women' content from school history texts after the late 1990s and details
Japan's diplomatic efforts to prevent war victims from suing the post-war state. Presenting
a strong argument in opposition to the revisionist school of thought, this book ultimately
concludes that a realistic settlement would see a victim-oriented solution that the
survivors can accept. Written by leading Japanese, Zainichi Korean, and South Korean
scholars, Denying the Comfort Women will be of huge interest to students and scholars
of Japanese studies, gender studies, women's studies and Asian history"
