"comfort Stations" as Remembered by Okinawans During World War II

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.
