This project is a three year research effort to compare the formation of these divided memories in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States. The first part, beginning in fall, 2006, is a comparative examination of high school history textbooks in China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States, focusing on the period from 1931-1951. This will be followed by a second comparative study of popular cinema dealing with historical subjects from roughly the same period. In parallel with these two comparative studies, Shorenstein APARC will design and carry out a comprehensive survey of the views of elite opinion-makers in all five countries on these historical issues.
