"Comfort Stations" as Remembered by Okinawans During World War II - Paperback

by Robert Ricketts (Editor), Robert Ricketts (Translator), Yunshin Hong (Author)

HONG Yunshin analyzes Japanese military "comfort stations" in the Okinawan war (1945), and their revival during the US occupation (1945-72), through Okinawan eyes. Marshaling eyewitness accounts and archival materials, she uses these "sites of remembrance" to reexamine wartime sexual violence.
