Book Synopsis Language and Citizenship in Japan by : Nanette Gottlieb
Download or read book Language and Citizenship in Japan written by Nanette Gottlieb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between language and citizenship in Japan has traditionally been regarded as a fixed tripartite: ‘Japanese citizenship’ means ‘Japanese ethnicity,’ which in turn means ‘Japanese as one’s first language.’ Historically, most non-Japanese who have chosen to take out citizenship have been members of the ‘oldcomer’ Chinese and Korean communities, born and raised in Japan. But this is changing: the last three decades have seen an influx of ‘newcomer’ economic migrants from a wide range of countries, many of whom choose to stay. The likelihood that they will apply for citizenship, to access the benefits it confers, means that citizenship and ethnicity can no longer be assumed to be synonyms in Japan. This is an important change for national discourse on cohesive communities. This book’s chapters discuss discourses, educational practices, and local linguistic practices which call into question the accepted view of the language-citizenship nexus in lived contexts of both existing Japanese citizens and potential future citizens. Through an examination of key themes relating both to newcomers and to an older group of citizens whose language practices have been shaped by historical forces, these essays highlight the fluid relationship of language and citizenship in the Japanese context.
Book Synopsis Living Intersections: Transnational Migrant Identifications in Asia by : Caroline Plüss
Download or read book Living Intersections: Transnational Migrant Identifications in Asia written by Caroline Plüss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents ground-breaking theoretical, and empirical knowledge to produce a fine-grained and encompassing understanding of the costs and benefits that different groups of Asian migrants, moving between different countries in Asia and in the West, experience. The contributors—all specialist scholars in anthropology, geography, history, political science, social psychology, and sociology—present new approaches to intersectionality analysis, focusing on the migrants’ performance of their identities as the core indicator to unravel the mutual constituitivity of cultural, social, political, and economic characteristics rooted in different places, which characterizes transnational lifestyles. The book answers one key question: What happens to people, communities, and societies under globalization, which is, among others, characterized by increasing cultural disidentification?
Book Synopsis The Bonin Islanders, 1830 to the Present by : David Chapman
Download or read book The Bonin Islanders, 1830 to the Present written by David Chapman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of interwoven historical narratives that present an intriguing and little known account of the Ogasawara (Bonin) archipelago and its inhabitants. The narratives begin in the seventeenth century and weave their way through various events connected to the ambitions, hopes, and machinations of individuals, communities, and nations. At the center of these narratives are the Bonin Islanders, originally an eclectic mix of Pacific Islanders, Americans, British, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and African settlers that first landed on the islands in 1830. The islands were British sovereign territory from 1827 to 1876, when the Japanese asserted possession of the islands based on a seventeenth century expedition and a myth of a samurai discoverer. As part of gaining sovereign control, the Japanese government made all island inhabitants register as Japanese subjects of the national family register. The islanders were not literate in Japanese and had little experience of Japanese culture and limited knowledge of Japanese society, but by 1881 all were forced or coerced into becoming Japanese subjects. By the 1930s the islands were embroiled in the Pacific War. All inhabitants were evacuated to the Japanese mainland until 1946 when only the descendants of the original settlers were allowed to return. In the postwar period the islands fell under U.S. Navy administration until they were reverted to full Japanese sovereignty in 1968. Many descendants of these original settlers still live on the islands with family names such as Washington, Gonzales, Gilley, Savory, and Webb. This book explores the social and cultural history of these islands and its inhabitants and provides a critical approach to understanding the many complex narratives that make up the Bonin story.

The diaries of Sir Ernest Satow, British Minister in Tokyo 1895-1900, transcribed, annotated and indexed by Ian Ruxton with an introduction by Dr. Nigel Brailey. At the time there was no Ambassador and Satow was the chief British representative in Japan, overseeing the Tokyo legation with consulates at Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe and Hakodate. His work in easing the ending of extraterritoriality and facilitating the transfer of jurisdiction in the foreign settlements (treaty ports) to Japan in July 1899 was an essential precondition for the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902.

Book Synopsis Rebel at Large by : Philip Van Buskirk
Download or read book Rebel at Large written by Philip Van Buskirk and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This diary is one of the most unusual produced during the Civil War because it contains very little about military life. Early in the war Van Buskirk abandoned his regiment, working as a schoolmaster, farmhand, and casual laborer. He wrote of the suffering civilians endured at the hands of contending armies. But he also found time to chronicle his fascination with handsome young lads he encountered during his life as a deserter--unwittingly providing modern readers an illuminating glimpse of class differences and sexual mores. Naval, social and sexual historians, in particular, will find much valuable source material.
Book Synopsis The History of Anglo-Japanese Relations 1600–2000 by : G. Daniels
Download or read book The History of Anglo-Japanese Relations 1600–2000 written by G. Daniels and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-10-02 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering collection of essays by Japanese, British and Canadian scholars demonstrates how individuals, government agencies and non-governmental organizations have confirmed and challenged the ideas of diplomats and statesmen. Case studies of mutual perceptions, feminism, ceremonial, theatre, economic and social thought, fine arts, broadcasting, labour and missionary activity all illustrate how varieties of nationalism and internationalism have shaped the development of Anglo-Japanese relations. Furthermore it reveals the British admiration of Japan and a desire to emulate Japanese efficiency as a recurring theme in debates on the condition of Britain in the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Placental Politics by : Christine Taitano DeLisle
Download or read book Placental Politics written by Christine Taitano DeLisle and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1898 until World War II, U.S. imperial expansion brought significant numbers of white American women to Guam, primarily as wives to naval officers stationed on the island. Indigenous CHamoru women engaged with navy wives in a range of settings, and they used their relationships with American women to forge new forms of social and political power. As Christine Taitano DeLisle explains, much of the interaction between these women occurred in the realms of health care, midwifery, child care, and education. DeLisle focuses specifically on the pattera, Indigenous nurse-midwives who served CHamoru families. Though they showed strong interest in modern delivery practices and other accoutrements of American modernity under U.S. naval hegemony, the pattera and other CHamoru women never abandoned deeply held Indigenous beliefs, values, and practices, especially those associated with inafa'maolek--a code of behavior through which individual, collective, and environmental balance, harmony, and well-being were stewarded and maintained. DeLisle uses her evidence to argue for a "placental politics--a new conceptual paradigm for Indigenous women's political action. Drawing on oral histories, letters, photographs, military records, and more, DeLisle reveals how the entangled histories of CHamoru and white American women make us rethink the cultural politics of U.S. imperialism and the emergence of new Indigenous identities.
