Isolating Knowledge of the Unpleasant: The Rape of Nanking in Japanese High-School Textbooks.

Barnard, Christopher

British Journal of Sociology of Education, v22 n4 p519-30 Dec 2001

Investigates how the Rape of Nanking is reported in 88 Japanese high school history textbooks authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Education. Analysis of language used in the textbooks reveals that a consistent language pattern isolates knowledge of the Rape of Nanking from Japan and the Japanese. (Author/PAL)
