The White Slave Trade and the Yellow Peril: Anti-Chinese Rhetoric and Women's Moral Authority a Thesis Submitted to the Depart
The White Slave Trade and the Yellow Peril: Anti-Chinese Rhetoric and Women’s Moral Authority A thesis submitted to the Department of History, Miami University, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in History by Hannah E. Zmuda May 2021 Oxford, Ohio Abstract Despite the mid-to-late nineteenth and early twentieth century’s cultural preoccupation with white women’s sexual vulnerability, another phenomenon managed to take hold of public consciousness: “yellow slavery.” Yellow slavery was the variation of white slavery (known today as sex trafficking) that described the practice when Asian women were the victims. This thesis attempts to determine several of the reasons why Chinese women were included as victims in an otherwise exclusively white victim pool. One of the central reasons was the actual existence of the practice, which this thesis attempts to verify through the critical examination of found contracts and testimony of Chinese women. However, beyond just the existence of the practice of yellow slavery, many individuals used the sexual exploitation of Chinese women for their own cultural, religious, and political ends. Anti-Chinese agitators leveraged the image of the Chinese slave girl to frame anti-Chinese efforts as anti-slavery efforts, as well as to depict Chinese immigrants as incapable of assimilating into American culture and adhering to American ideals of freedom. Additionally, white missionaries created mission homes to shelter and protect the Chinese women and girls escaping white slavery. However, within these homes, the missionaries were then able to push their perceived cultural and religious superiority by pushing the home’s inmates into their ideals of Protestant, middle-class, white womanhood. -

ACKNOWL EDGMENTS This book began many years ago when Lisa Yoneyama invited me to consider the issue of “comfort women” for a session that she or ga nized for the annual meeting of the American Studies Association. I had been very ambivalent and even a little skeptical about the passionate investment in the issue and the consequent will to represent this history on the part of Korean/American art- ists, writers, and scholars, myself included. That session pushed me to unpack and articulate the contours of my unease and, more consequentially, brought me together with Lisa and Kandice Chuh for what has turned out to be a most generative, sustaining friendship and intellectual exchange in the many years since. This book would not exist without their steadfast support and much- needed interventions. Their scholarly brilliance and critical grace continue to inspire me to try harder. From my first book to this book, Lisa Lowe has provided me with a singular model of broad intellectual engagement and deep thinking. I would like to thank the friends who have sustained me by sharing the joys of good food, wine, music, and laughter in SoCal: Brian Albert, Eve Oishi, Sheri Ozeki, Cindy Cheng, Rachel Park, Jenny Terry, Surina Khan, Catherine Sameh, Lucy Burns, Anjali Arondekar, Christine Balance, Patty Ahn, Arlene Keizer, Alex Juhasz, Rachel Lee, Gabe Spera, David Wong Louie, Jackie Louie, Juliet Williams, Ali Behdad, Kathleen McHugh, Yong Soon Min, David Lloyd, Sarita See, and Karen Tongson. Brian, Eve, Cindy, and Lucy took very good care of me when I needed it most. -

The Rape of Nanjing: Is an Unbiased Representation Possible?
The Rape of Nanjing: Is an Unbiased Representation Possible? by Heather M. Downing Thesis submitted to the Honors Program, Saint Peter's College May 17, 2011 Heather M. Downing Downing 1 Abstract In the years leading up to and including World War II, the Japanese invaded China, committing war crimes and atrocities that some say rivaled those committed by the German National Socialist (Nazi) Party in Europe. However, due to a number of factors following the end of World War II, many conflicting points of view about Nanjing have arisen, including views from Japanese ultranationalists, Chinese victims and their descendants, and from other outside parties, including Americans and Europeans. In the present day, the evidence and the different testimonies of what may have happened in Nanjing have become so convoluted that it would be impossible to come up with a purely factual, unbiased historical account of the events in Nanjing during the Japanese invasion on December 13, 1937 and the weeks leading up to and following that invasion. By looking at some of the most popular sources and references pertaining to the Nanjing Massacre, one can assess just how disputed the topic has become and how truly impossible it is for historians to arrive at a single, agreed upon history of the event.

American Book Awards 2004
BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre. -

Nanjing Echo 11-17-2017 (New Concl)
NANJING ECHO: ILLUSION, SUBTERFUGE AND PUBLIC RELATIONS IN THE ‘RAPE OF NANKING' DEBATE Randy Hopkins Portland, Oregon [email protected] November 17, 2017 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 The Camouflaged Hand of Japan’s Foreign Ministry 1 “Modern, Objective and Scientific Historiography” 3 Joshua Fogel and “Controversy” 4 Hata Ikuhiko’s “Fact and Fable” and the “Great Massacre” 15 Alvin Coox and “Waking Old Wounds” 29 Conclusion 38 Appendix (Hata’s Errata List) 41 copyright @ Randy Hopkins, 2017 Introduction December 13, 2017 marks the 80th Anniversary of the Japanese Imperial Army’s seizure of Nanjing, then capital of Nationalist China. What occurred next, with alleged weeks of mass executions, rapes, torture, looting and arson, is steeped in controversy and poisons relations be- tween China, Japan and their peoples to this day. This year is also the 20th Anniversary of Iris Chang’s The Rape of Nanking: The Forgot- ten Holocaust of World War II (New York: Basic Books, 1997) (“The Rape of Nanking”). Weav- ing contemporaneous letters and diaries, government intelligence reports, war crime investiga- tions and testimony with modern oral history, The Rape of Nanking was a, if not the J’accuse …! of the 20th Century. The Rape of Nanking arrived at a time when events at Nanjing had largely been forgotten in the English language West. That could no longer be said after the book’s ap- pearance. Chang’s book achieved remarkable sales and was showered with praise from leading academic historians and others. Chang herself, a mere 29 years of age when the book was pub- lished, was feted at book signings and other public events.
