The Geography of Injustice
In The Geography of Injustice, Barak Kushner argues that the war crimes tribunals in East Asia formed and cemented national divides that persist into the present day. In 1946 the Allies convened the Tokyo Trial to prosecute Japanese wartime atrocities and Japan's empire. At its conclusion one of the judges voiced dissent, claiming that the justice found at Tokyo was only 'the sham employment of a legal process for the satisfaction of a thirst for revenge.' War crimes tribunals, Kushner shows, allow for the history of the defeated to be heard. In contemporary East Asia a fierce battle between memory and history has consolidated political camps across this debate. The Tokyo Trial courtroom, as well as the thousands of other war crimes tribunals opened in about fifty venues across Asia, were legal stages where prosecution and defense curated facts and evidence to craft their story about World War Two. These narratives and counter narratives form the basis of postwar memory concerning

Kahane, the Magazine of the Jewish Idea
The essays in Kahane, the Magazine of the Jewish Idea, deal with a wide range of topics related to Judaism, the State of Israel, and the Jewish people all over, with an emphasis on the Jews in America. The essays reflect the views Rabbi Kahane expressed in his speeches, books and articles as well as in his televised speeches and interviews. They are as relevant to our lives today as they were when they were written. Between 1976 and 1990, close to 3,000 copies of each issue of Kahane were mailed out at no charge to synagogues, national and local Jewish organizations and Jewish newspapers and magazines. The aim was to give Jewish decision-makers and the entire Jewish public an opportunity to read the authentic Jewish idea. For that reason, each issue carried this notice: 'All material in Kahane may be reprinted without permission of the editors.' Forty-six issues of Kahane appeared from 1976 to 1990. Many of them can be found in large public and university libraries, but the essays
