In particular, the wider public, who are not scholars of the subject under investigation, will find it beneficial with the (perhaps intentional on the part of the editor or author) frequent repetition of various information, such as the explanation of certain words (e.g., obasan, pp. 70, 87), background information (e.g., William Bradley Horton, pp. 104, 150), and footnotes (e.g., Park, pp. 71, 84). Nonetheless, the book will certainly engage the reader in discussions about gender, sexual slavery, human rights, and more, both within and beyond Singapore.
