Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, barely features in most histories of the Second World War. However, the combination of distinctive war experiences, a vibrant set of local historian groups, and powerful media organizations disseminating local war history, has generated an identifiable set of local collective memories. Hokkaidoʼs status as an early colonial acquisition also makes the island an important vantage point from which to reassess the course and nature of the Japanese Empire.
This book argues that Hokkaido's experiences of war and its militarized post-war constitutes a local case study with a much greater national and international significance on both theoretical and empirical grounds than first impressions might suggest. Using Japanese-language sources presented for the first time in English and a number of detailed local history case studies, it offers a fascinating and hitherto little-known perspective on the Second World War. It also combines a comprehensive theory of how war memories operate at the local level within a broad historical context that explains Hokkaidoʼs pivotal role within Japanese imperial history.
Demonstrating that understanding local history and memories is essential for a nuanced understanding of national history and memories, the book will be highly valuable to students and scholars of Japanese history, Second World War history, and Asian history.

Описание: My Unforgettable Memories: Watchman Nee and Shanghai Local Church This book is an astonishing reminiscence of a young Christian at the Shanghai Local Church under the Communist regime half century ago. At the church, the author went through raging storms of conflict. She was stunned by church failings and withdrew from God. Finally, by God's grace, she committed herself to Him once again. With great courage, personal experience, and an assiduous exploration of SCA history, she discloses the major historical facts. Watchman Nee and his Local Church Movement have profoundly influenced the modern Chinese churches. Many Christians adore Nee's preaching without knowing him as a person. A dense fog within the Local Church hinders historical transparency. It is a story of serious introspection of a precious spiritual heritage. Her purpose is to offer positive inspiration and important lessons for the Church today and generations to come. Lily M. Hsu MD was born in China and practiced medicine for decades. After coming to US in 1981 and completing clinical training, she practiced as a pediatric neurologist in Baton Rouge, LA in 1989-2006. Currently, she is retired and resides in the Dallas area. In the Western World, there is no other Chinese Christian leader more famous, influential and well-known than Watchman Nee. He is also the founder of the "Local Church", a controversial church group in China and worldwide. This is the first biography of Watchman Nee written by an insider and eye-witness of his trial in 1956. Just like the weakness and sinful actions of King David has been candidly recorded in I Samuel, this book might be viewed as Watchman Nee's "prophetic biography." If anyone wishes to know who Nee is and to evaluate his writings fairly, this is a must-read book. Rev Tsu-Kung Chuang T. K. & True Light Ministry, Massachusetts
