EpilogueReviews"""In this valuable contribution to our understanding of the formation of historical memory in Japan, Jung-Sun Han masterfully examines civic activism aimed at protecting and preserving war-related sites. This book is a must read for those seeking to understand how the imperial past is remembered in today's Japan, and the role of civil society in shaping and contesting this collective memory."" Alexander Bukh, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand “Dark Heritage in Contemporary Japan: Relics of an Underground Empire” is an important work. It is deeply grounded (literally and metaphorically) in an empirical examination of the wartime labor regime that forced Koreans to build military installations, especially in the final years of World War II. And it is brilliantly framed in theoretical engagement with fields of memory and heritage studies and dark tourism. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the longstanding and still evolving contention over colonial and wartime history both within Japan and between Japan and Korea, as well as all those interested in broader issues of war and memory.” Andrew Gordon, Harvard University, USA" """In this valuable contribution to our understanding of the formation of historical memory in Japan, Jung-Sun Han masterfully examines civic activism aimed at protecting and preserving war-related sites.
