The book delves into the contentious debate surrounding Japan's historical narrative, particularly focusing on the "comfort women" issue. Chizuko Ueno, a feminist theorist, critiques both neo-nationalist revisionists who downplay the experiences of these women and left-wing historians who share her views but may overlook critical nuances. Her incisive and provocative analysis challenges prevailing perspectives, making the work both enlightening and controversial in its exploration of memory, legitimacy, and the complexities of historical interpretation.
