Psyche and Society

Explorations in Psychoanalytic Sociology

By: Robert Endleman

Available for the first time in English, this is the definitive account of the practice of sexual slavery the Japanese military perpetrated during World War II by the researcher principally responsible for exposing the Japanese government's responsibility for these atrocities. The large scale imprisonment and rape of thousands of women, who were euphemistically called "comfort women" by the Japanese military, first seized public attention in 1991 when three Korean women filed suit in a Toyko District Court stating that they had been forced into sexual servitude and demanding compensation. Since then the comfort stations and their significance have been the subject of ongoing debate and intense activism in Japan, much if it inspired by Yoshimi's investigations. How large a role did the military, and by extension the government, play in setting up and administering these camps? What type of compensation, if any, are the victimized women due? These issues figure prominently in the current Japanese focus on public memory and arguments about the teaching and writing of history and are central to efforts to transform Japanese ways of remembering the war. Yoshimi Yoshiaki provides a wealth of documentation and testimony to prove the existence of some 2,000 centers where as many as 200,000 Korean, Filipina, Taiwanese, Indonesian, Burmese, Dutch, Australian, and some Japanese women were restrained for months and forced to engage in sexual activity with Japanese military personnel. Many of the women were teenagers, some as young as fourteen. To date, the Japanese government has neither admitted responsibility for creating the comfort station system nor given compensation directly to former comfort women. This English edition updates the Japanese edition originally published in 1995 and includes introductions by both the author and the translator placing the story in context for American readers.

On War and Morality

By: Robert L. Holmes

The threat to the survival of humankind posed by nuclear weapons has been a frightening and essential focus of public debate for the last four decades and must continue to be so if we are to avoid destroying ourselves and the natural world around us. One unfortunate result of preoccupation with the nuclear threat, however, has been a new kind of "respectability" accorded to conventional war. In this radical and cogent argument for pacifism, Robert Holmes asserts that all war--not just nuclear war--has become morally impermissible in the modern world. Addressing a wide audience of informed and concerned readers, he raises dramatic questions about the concepts of "political realism" and nuclear deterrence, makes a number of persuasive suggestions for nonviolent alternatives to war, and presents a rich panorama of thinking about war from St. Augustine to Reinhold Niebuhr and Herman Kahn. Holmes's positions are compellingly presented and will provoke discussion both among convinced pacifists and among those whom he calls "militarists." "Militarists," we realize after reading this book, include the majority of us who live a friendly and peaceful personal life while supporting a system which, if Holmes is correct, guarantees war and risks eventual human extinction. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Eros and Evolution

Prospects for PASO (PsychoAnalytic SOcial Science)

By: Robert Endleman

The psychological evolution of the human species, including especially human sexuality. We thus have a basis for universal propositions on human nature. These in turn connect psychoanalysis & the social sciences (PASO, psychoanalytic social science), where the evolutionary view & the psychoanalytic one reinforce & illuminate each other. From the pioneers, Freud, Rheim, Devereux, LaBarre to the later elaborations in recent decades, PASO has developed apace, with contributions by anthropologists, sociologists, psychoanalysts, political scientists, legal scholars, historians, & many others. The evolutionary story: late Miocene East Africa drying up: some tree-living vegetarian small primates move to a ground savannas, evolve upright posture, bipedal gait, freeing of the hands, hunting economy, omnivorous diet, endocrine change, much larger brain in a larger head, forcing the "premature birth" of the human neonate, thus the most helpless mammal neonate ever. They invent frontal coitus, lose estrus, complicate sex/aggression linkages, develop the peculiar precocious human sexuality. They prolong maternal care, infancy, juvenility; intensify male/female & infant/parent ties. Hunting economy, human speech-language & all the psychological & psychosexual dilemmas that psychoanalysis explores. By author of LOVE AND SEX IN 12 CULTURES, (Psyche Press 1989).
