Reviews

"Fu's steadfast refusal to resort to simplistic binarism in his characterizations of World War II popular culture will be a breath of fresh air for all professional historians interested in the Japanese occupation, cinema, and identity construction." - Laura A. McDaniel, National Committee on U.S.-China Relations
