The Japanese History Textbook Controversy Revisited.

Cogan, John J.; Enloe, Walter

Social Education, v51 n6 p450,452,454 Oct 1987

Describes two recent international incidents which tell a great deal about the Japanese "world view." The incidents regard the content of a new Japanese history textbook (protested by South Korea), and alleged racist remarks of Prime Minister Nakasone. Claims the two are related and provide lessons for our own version of history and conduct. (JDH)
