University of Arkansas professor Kelly Hammond is attempting to rewrite Japan's long history of war crimes & oppression, claiming Japan 'helped' Muslims against China. This is another example of how white academics can say almost anything - without proof - and be rewarded for it.

During the Rape of Nanjing Japan raped & murdered hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians, including Muslims. Interesting how Hammond doesn't mention this at all in her entire book, since it undermines her narrative that Japan "wanted to help" Chinese Muslims.

In fact, according to ProQuest, Hammond does not mention the word "rape" even once in her book. This is a major omission. How is this book published by a major university press? How did it pass the peer-review process?

Kelly Hammond also does not mention that Japanese soldiers raped & murdered thousands of Rohingya, since it undermines her argument that Japan was 'supportive' of Muslims. In fact, she never mentions the Rohingya at all.

Kelly Hammond attempts to recast Japanese Imperialism in a positive light, apparently applauding Japan's 'successful efforts to connect Muslims around the world.' The truth is that Japan massacred thousands of Muslims across Asia.

If Hammond had included Japan's warcrimes against Muslims in her book, there is no way her argument that "Japan supported Muslims" holds up. Instead she conveniently omits numerous major acts of Japanese aggression in order to promote her revisionist history.

If Kelly Hammond's book had been written about Jews, it would have been immediately condemned as an anti-Semitic revisionist history and likely never published. But because it was written about Asian Muslims, it was published by a major U.S. university press.
