Japan's Carnival War: Mass Culture on the Home Front, 1937–1945
Uchiyama, Benjamin (University of Southern California)
This cultural history of the Japanese home front during the Asia-Pacific War challenges ideas of the period as one of unrelenting repression. Uchiyama demonstrates that 'carnival war' coexisted with the demands of total war to promote consumerist desire alongside sacrifice and fantasy alongside nightmare, helping mobilize the war effort.
