You have two readings for Weeks Three and Four. The first reading is to be completed at the end of Week Three, the second reading at the beginning of Week Four. Here are two questions to guide you for the first reading.
Takashi Fujitani, “Right to Kill, Right to Make Live: Koreans as Japanese,” Race for Empire, pp. 35-54.

•Fujitani argues against reading Japanese wartime claims about Koreans as duplicitous? Why?
Here is the reading. (6.1 MB) Please let me or Kate Huang know if you need a smaller-sized file.
