AFESC-Beyond the Pacific War: Teaching World War II in East and Southeast Asia



Decades before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese empire expanded into Korea and Manchuria, setting off a conflict that would eventually engulf all of East and Southeast Asia. But histories of the Pacific theater of World War II that focus only on the US and Japan often miss the widespread cultural and political effects of the war in Asia itself. This workshop brings together historians, political scientists, and literary scholars to discuss the deep scars and lasting legacies of World War II as it was experienced in Asia, including wartime atrocities in Korea and China, the aftermath of atomic warfare in Japan, and the anti-colonial independence movements of Southeast Asia. The workshop provides teachers with essential context, classroom-ready lesson plans, a $50 honorarium, and two free books on World War II and its legacy in Asia
