Interpreting the Atlanta massacre

Time To Say Goodbye ·

2021/03/23

Hello at the end of a sleepless week. In this episode, we analyze the many responses to the murders in Atlanta — in a spirit, of course, of solidarity.Should the murders be viewed as a white-supremacist hate crime? An occasion for more policing? Or less? Are we guilty of assimilating the Atlanta shootings to general headlines about anti-Asian racism? Do we risk losing the specificity of class, gender, and the massage industry in particular?Were the killings rooted in misogyny and fetishization? In

We discuss the unfolding row over an academic article by Harvard law professor Mark Ramseyer, who argues, without evidence, that “comfort women” across Asia were not coercively indentured by the Japanese imperial army in World War II, but had legally consented to sex work. (For background on this debate, check out Tammy’s paper from 2006!)Though typically irrelevant to the rest of society (lol), Ramseyer’s is the rare academic paper to invite public attention and, subsequently, outrage.
