It contributes to the cultural and social history of the occupation of Japan by investigating the intersections of ordering principles like race, class, gender, and sexuality. It also reveals how sex and its regulation were not marginal but key issues in the occupation politics and postwar state- and empire-building, U.S.-Japan relations, and American and Japanese self-imagery. An analysis of the "sanitization of sex" uncovers new spatial formations in the postwar period. The regulation of sexual encounters between occupiers and occupied was closely linked to the disintegration of the Japanese empire and the rise of U.S. hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region during the Cold War era. An analysis of the sanitization of sex thus sheds new light on the configuration of postwar Japan, the process of decolonization, the postcolonial formation of the Asia-Pacific region, and the particularities of postwar U.S. imperialism. Sanitized Sex offers a reading of the intimacies of empires--defeated and victorious."--Provided by publisherRobert KrammLiteraturverzeichnis: Seite 269-289Prostitutes / Legal status, laws, etc / Japan / History / 20th centurySexually transmitted diseases / Japan / Prevention / History / 20th centurySex-oriented businesses / Japan / History / 20th centurySoldiers / Sexual behavior / JapanSoldiers / Sexual behavior / United StatesJapan / History / Allied occupation, 1945-1952 / Social aspectsJapanProstitutionSexualpolitikGeschichte 1945-1952|HQ247.A5GBV884460460978-0-520-29597-1HT019602662Asia Pacific Modern15HT0152092816101oasq781.k892018022620180307144606401rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D144606401+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/874523 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/874523/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/874523
