| Summary |
Examines how the history of the Sino-Japanese War has been reflected in Chinese juvenile literature and illustrated story books (lianhuanhua), with a particular interest in the portrayal of violence and war crimes, notably the Nanking Massacre, the sexual enslavement of "comfort women," and Japanese biological warfare in text and images. The book also reviews how the Pacific War has been treated in American juvenile fiction as a comparison, and discusses the potential role of oral family stories in shaping children's understanding of history |
