Histoire militaire = 940.54 Resumen: In The Unwomanly Face of War, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women--more than a million in total--were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten. Alexievich traveled thousands of miles and visited more than a hundred towns to record these women's stories. Together, this symphony of voices reveals a different aspect of the war--the everyday details of life in combat left out of the official histories.

WAYS OF FORGETTING, WAYS OF REMEMBERING JAPAN IN THE MODERN WORLD / DOWER, JOHN W.

Título : WAYS OF FORGETTING, WAYS OF REMEMBERING JAPAN IN THE MODERN WORLD Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: DOWER, JOHN W. Editorial: NEW YORK : THE NEW PRESS Fecha de publicación: 2012 Número de páginas: 324 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: JAPAN HISTORY 1945  HISTORIOGRAPHY  WORLD WAR 1939 - 1945  SOCIAL ASPECTS  HISTORY 20TH CENTURY  SOCIAL CHANGE  JAPAN POLITICS AND GOVERMENT 1945  SOCIAL CONDITIONS Clasificación: 940.53 Seconde Guerre mondiale 1939-1945. Histoire militaire = 940.54 Resumen: Taking as a starting point the work of E.H. Norman, the unjustly neglected historian of prewar Japan, Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering sets out both to challenge historiographical orthodoxy and reveal the configurations of power inherent in scholarly and popular discourse in Japan and America. Dower’s fascination with capturing popular experience leads to sources as far ranging as textiles adorned with wartime propaganda and the satirical cartoon panels that decorate traditional karuta playing cards. Dower, who is rightly known as one of the most perceptive critics of American foreign policy, also offers a blistering critique of the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the misuse of postwar Japan as an example of success.
