<em>â</em>Persistently Postwar <em>uses a variety of detailed case studies to demonstrate how the contested legacy of the Asia-Pacific War has helped to shape the artistic and intellectual life of postwar Japan. This thought-provoking and highly readable collection of essays leaves the reader with deep insights into not only depictions of war in Japanese popular culture, but also how the war has affected broader cultural production from yakuza films to the anime industry.â</em> <strong>âą Philip Seaton</strong>, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies</p>
