<TD vAlign=top>I wonder what's your view, as a specialist, on George
Hicks' "The Comfort Women." It seemed to me to suffer from a terrific
lack of footnotes and other forms of attribution while depending
mightily on works in Korean and Japanese that could have been translated
and published in English editions. (As far as I could tell, the book
contained no original interviews though some of these women were and are
available. A few of them still manage to show up for weekly demos in
front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul.) That's just an off-hand view
after one reading. Would be interested in the academic
perspective.<BR>Thanks,<BR>Don Kirk<BR><BR>--- On <B>Thu, 7/7/11,

<DIV>Dear Professor Lee,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You can list me as a Korean comfort women specialist. I am
currently finishing up my book manuscript on comfort women
specifically focused on the Korean victims' case from a comparative
perspective. My recent publications on the subject include
an article published by the Northeast Asian History Foundation's
English journal: Bang-Soon L. Yoon, "Imperial Japan's Comfort
Women from Korea: History & Politics of Silence-Breaking,"
The Journal of Northeast Asian History, Vol. 7, Number 1 (Summer
2010), pp. 5-39. I can send you a copy of it upon request.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regarding the Tokdo specialist, I recommend Dr. Michael A.
Launius, Professor of Political Science & the Executive Director
of the International Studies & Programs at Central Washington
University. He published several research papers, newspaper
special columns, etc. Thanks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV>Bang-Soon L. Yoon</DIV>
