An Analysis of John W. Dower's War Without Mercy: Race And Power In The Pacific War: The Macat Library
Autor Vincent Sanchez, Jason Xidiasen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iul 2017
His book argues that the viciousness that marked fighting in the Pacific had deep roots in popular culture which created frightening racial stereotypes of the enemy on both sides of the ocean. Dower's focus on ‘low culture’ proved to be a useful way of generating alternative possibilities to mainstream thinking about US-Japanese relations. The thinking underpinning the book was innovative, and was challenged by some peers who failed to recognise how profoundly revealing material such as cartoons and cheap magazines could be. But the result was one of the most significant studies of 20th-century history yet written – one that yields a strong, well-reasoned and persuasive solution to the problem posed.

Descriere
War Without Mercy examines Japanese-American relations during World War II and investigates links between popular culture, stereotypes, and extreme violence. Dower argues that the concept of racism—used equally by both sides—underpinned the military conflict and led to a particularly brutal war in the Pacific and East Asia.
