The voluntary is not only influenced by kominka movement, but also is the effect of Japan＇s war discourse of protecting Asia from the fight of Western countries. However, no matter in schools or society, discrimination in colony leads youth＇s anger and forms an invisible power of the discourse of anti-war. Youth in Taiwan gradually doubt of the war idea of Japan, including the fear of death. In this paper, I define the situation as ＂the war of heart＂. This paper focuses on the changing of character＇s mind and spirit. This paper also observes the changing process of the identification of race and mother land. The observation will be a basis to think about the historical meaning of war experience of mobilization and memories of Talwanese people during the colonial period by Japan.展开更多

Revisiting and cross-checking sources available in the archives, especially the Mozambique Historical Archive, it is possible to determine Islam＇s expansion by analysing the reports of the colonial administration, interviewing the social participants of this process, and understanding the complexity of the phenomenon before and after the independence, thus enabling the rethinking of the violence, reconstruction, and reconciliation within the Mozambican society. The confrontation of the material produced by the colonial authorities in reports of the civil administration, of the so-called native business between the army and the police and the independent movements, especially the Mozambique Liberation Front （FRELIMO）, suggests a clandestine operational network with initiatives of Mozambican identity affirmation under the designation of ＂subversive＂ in the colonial days. A fact worth noting： the ＂control＂ function of the Muslim communities, both in the colonial state apparatus and in the post-colonial times, as a phenomenon of continuity.展开更多
