"A significant contribution to scholarship on post-World War II Asia generally, and Cold War Asia specifically." -John E. Van Sant, author of Pacific Pioneers
The world was watching when footage of the "tank man" -the lone Chinese citizen blocking the passage of a column of tanks during the brutal 1989 crackdown on protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square-first appeared in the media. The furtive video is now regarded as an iconic depiction of a government's violence against its own people. Throughout the twentieth century, states across East Asia committed many relatively undocumented atrocities, with victims numbering in the millions. The contributors to this insightful volume analyze many of the most notorious cases, including the Japanese army's Okinawan killings in 1945, Indonesia's anticommunist purge in 1965-1968, Thailand's Red Drum incinerations in 1972-1975, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge massacre in 1975-1978, Korea's Kwangju crackdown in 1980, the Philippines' Mendiola incident in 1987, Myanmar's suppression of the democratic movement in 1988, and China's Tiananmen incident. With in-depth investigation of events that have long been misunderstood or kept hidden from public scrutiny, State Violence in East Asia provides critical insights into the political and cultural dynamics of state-sanctioned violence and discusses ways to prevent it in the future.
"A timely work, presenting various international perspectives and demonstrating up-to-date scholarly accomplishment that challenges experts, policy-makers, and educators to move into the 'dark-side' of the political history of Asian countries... remarkable." -Xiaobing Li, author of The Dragon in the Jungle
"Provides chapters on eight case studies concerning the uniformed military (sometimes out of uniform) turning its weapons on the home population." -Journal of Cold War Studies
