Regimes of Social Cohesion

Tamsin Barber, Oxford Brookes University, UK "At a time when Britain is increasingly ethnically diverse, and yet still driven by social divisions and modes of 'othering' and prejudice, Tamsin Barber's study of the British Vietnamese is highly timely and engaging. Through an engaging and controversial 'take' on Orientalism, this book makes an important contribution to scholarship on ethnic minority experience in Britain." —Prof. Miri Song, University of Kent, United Kingdom Tamsin Barber addresses the experience of the Britishborn Vietnamese as an overlooked minority population in 'super-diverse' London, exploring the emergence of the pan-ethnic 'Oriental' category as a new form of collective consciousness and identity in Britain.

Shaoying Zhang, Yunnan Normal University, China, Derek McGhee, University of Southampton, UK "Shaoying Zhang and Derek McGhee should be commended for providing an innovative and rigorous analysis of the relationship between state policy and ethnic conflict in Xinjiang. In particular, their focus on the ways in which officials in Xinjiang selectively interpret and implement central government policy illuminates the importance of factoring in local agents of state power in analyses of contemporary Chinese governance" —Dr. Michael Clarke, Griffith Asia Institute, Queensland, Australia This study addresses how China's policy response to problems in Xinjiang is interpreted and implemented by officials, who are both governing agents and governed subjects by interviewing Chinese officials working in both Central government and Local governments.

The author's detailed analysis gives an excellent overview and analytical appraisal of how New Delhi and Pretoria adopted various positions during the Doha process and why.

POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES The EU, ASEAN and Interregionalism

Multiculturalism and Conflict Reconciliation in the Asia-Pacific

Regionalism Support and Norm Diffusion between the EU and ASEAN

Migration, Language and Politics

Laura Allison, Public Policy and Global Affairs Programme, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore "This fascinating book looks at actorness of the EU from a novel norm diffusion perspective. Its originality lies in the combination of a focus on the EU as norm diffuser and a focus on ASEAN as a norm recipient. Laura Allison clearly demonstrates that actorness lies in the eye of the beholder and therefore ASEAN actually contributes to shaping the EU's actorness. [This] book also has clear policy implications as it shows the need for a more symmetrical relationship between the EU and ASEAN."— Luk Van Langenhove, United Nations University, Bruges, Belgium Using a framework of norm diffusion to determine the EU’s international actorness in the context of its relations with ASEAN, this book provides a timely and in-depth analysis of EU-ASEAN relations. By investigating three aspects of regionalism support by the EU it presents a comprehensive account of norm diffusion between the EU and ASEAN. Contents: 1. Ambitions of Actorness * 2. Seeking to Reconceptualise the EU as a ‘Power’ * 3. Drivers of Interregionalism: EU-ASEAN Engagement * 4. The EU, ASEAN and Economic Integration * 5. The EU, ASEAN and Institutionalisation * 6.

POLITICS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Gender Inequality in the Public Sector in Pakistan Representation and Distribution of Resources Khalid Chauhan, Anti-Corruption Establishment, Government of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan "Chauhan’s work is a timely contribution to the existing literature on Gender Inequality in Pakistan as it touches the root cause of the problem. His analysis goes beyond the usual NGO mantra of gender sensitization workshops as a panacea to gender inequality. Public policies hold the key to the changes from within, and Chauhan has substantiated that the problem lies with the patriarchal public sector that continues to support the status quo." —Tahmina Rashid, Qatar University As gender training is applied increasingly as a development solution to gender inequality, this book examines gender inequality in Pakistan’s public sector and questions whether a singular focus on gender training is enough to achieve progress in a patriarchal institutional context.

Accordingly, it is highly recommended." - Discourse and Society Leading scholars in the field examine the role played by the English language in contemporary Japanese society.

The Politics of Free Speech After Rushdie Anshuman A. Mondal, Brunel University, UK "A highly perceptive analysis of the grounds and moral - but not necessarily legal - limits of free speech. It both retains and goes beyond the important insights of liberalism. Its theoretical discussion enriches and is in turn enriched by a shrewd analysis of concrete cases. A most welcome and timely book." — Lord Bhikhu Parekh, author of 'The Parekh Report: The Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain' and 'Rethinking Multiculturalism' Was Salman Rushdie right to have written The Satanic Verses? Were the protestors right to have done so? What about the Danish cartoons? This book examines the moral questions raised by cultural controversies, and how intercultural dialogue might be generated within multicultural societies.

Aroosa Kanwal, International Islamic University, Pakistan "This book identifies and engages with a topic of prime importance, namely Pakistani Muslims' post-9/11 literary production. Given that Malala Yousafzai was recently co-awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to great acclaim from the world and mixed feelings from many Pakistanis, few can doubt that there is much at stake in the images produced of Islam by cultural, media, and marketing forces. Aroosa Kanwal effectively uses writers' journalism to illuminate their fictional works, and is a consummate reader of both texts and theories. Today's Pakistani authors are 'writing back' to dominant discourses in important ways, and Kanwal is one of the best emerging scholars exploring their work."— Claire Chambers, University of York, UK This book focuses on the way that notions of home and identity have changed for Muslims as a result of international 'war on terror' rhetoric. It uniquely links the post9/11 stereotyping of Muslims and Islam in the West to the roots of current jihadism and the resurgence of ethnocentrism within the subcontinent and beyond.

HISTORY British Military Withdrawal and the Rise of Regional Cooperation in South-East Asia, 1964-73

HISTORY

Sailors, Slaves, and Immigrants Bondage in the Indian Ocean World, 1750-1914

Sue Thompson, Australian National University

Alessandro Stanziani, CNRS, France "Stanziani's important study demonstrates that even those nations that struggled against slavery accepted major limits on the freedom of labor. He makes clear that both in the Indian Ocean and elsewhere, on land and sea, most laboring men and women were in some ways bound."—Martin Klein, Professor Emeritus of African Studies, University of Toronto, Canada Slaves, convicts, and unfree immigrants have traveled the oceans throughout human history, but the conventional Atlantic World historical paradigm has narrowed our understanding of modernity. This provocative study contrasts the Atlantic conflation of freedom and the sea with the complex relationships in the Indian Ocean in the long 19th century. Contents: 1. Colonial Studies, Area Studies, and the Historical Meaning of the Indian Ocean * 2. Seamen in France and the French Empire: Heirs to the Galley Slave or Forerunners of the Social Security System? * 3. Sailors in the British Empire * 4. Slaveries and Emancipation * 5. Immigrants and Planters in the Reunion Island * 6. From British Servants to Indentured Immigrants: The Case of Mauritius

This book examines the links between Britain's withdrawal from its east of Suez role and the establishment of South-East Asian regional security arrangements. The link between these two events is not direct, but a relationship existed, which is important to a wider understanding of the development of regional security arrangements. Contents: Introduction * 1. Post-war Policy and Regional Cooperation, 1945-1964 * 2. Long-term Policy and Short-term Problems, October 1964 – October 1965 * 3.

Fractured Solidarity in State-Owned Enterprises, 1945-2012

Social Memory and War Narratives Transmitted Trauma among Children of Vietnam War Veterans Christina D. Weber, North Dakota State University, USA The Vietnam War has had many long-reaching, traumatic effects, not just on the veterans of the war, but on their children as well. In this book, Weber examines the concept of the war as a social monad, a confusing array of personal stories and public histories that disrupt traditional ways of knowing the social world for the second generation. Contents: Introduction: The Traffic in Memories * 1. Exploring Trauma and Memory through the Social Monad * 2. Conceptualizing the Vietnam Veteran Narrative as a Narrative of Trauma * 3. Exploring the Social Monad through the Crisis of Articulation * 4. The Vietnam Veteran Father: Reconfiguring Hegemonic Discourses of Masculine Subjectivity * 5.

Working Class Formation in Taiwan

9781137501516

Ming-sho Ho, National Taiwan University, Taiwan "Theoretically informed and rich in empirical findings, this book provides a vivid portrait of the inter-class and intra-class dynamics of Taiwanese workers and their movements. The book compellingly tells a story of workers' resistance under the authoritarian rule and the upsurge of their movements with democratization of Taiwan. Ming-sho Ho's work also makes an important contribution to comparative studies of labor movements, especially to the under-researched area of comparative studies among non-Western countries." —Akira Suzuki, Professor and Deputy Director, The Ohara Institute for Social Research, Hosei University, Japan This book offers a fresh look at Taiwan's state workers in from the postwar period to the present day and examines the rise and fall of labor insurgency in the past two decades. Challenging the conventional image of docile working class, it unearths a series of workers resistance, hidden and public, in a high authoritarian era. Contents: 1. A Historical Institutionalist Approach to Working-Class Formation * 2. Researching Taiwan’s Industrial Workers * 3. Politics of Ethnicity: Neo-colonialism and Revolutionary Insurgency * 4.

Public Discourses of Contemporary China The Narration of the Nation in Popular Literatures, Film, and Television Yipeng Shen, Trinity College, USA "Public Discourses of Contemporary China is an ambitious and illuminating book. Through fascinating case studies and a rigorous reconceptualization of the relationship between aesthetics and politics, Shen convincingly shows the persistent centrality of nationalism in China even today and elucidates the ways in which individual subjects both participate in and remake stateinitiated modernization projects through narration and other forms of cultural production. It will be an essential read for anyone wishing to understand mass nationalism and the interaction between state and society in postsocialist China." —Tze-lan Deborah Sang, Michigan State University, USA Analyzing contemporary Chinese literature, film, and television, Shen shows the significance of nationalism for the mass imagination in post-socialist China. Chapters move from the intellectual idealism of the 1980s, through the postTiananmen transition, to the national cinema of the 1990s, and finally to the Internet literature of today.

Monster Anthropology in Australasia and Beyond

Critical Aesthetics at Work Aparna Sharma, UCLA, USA "This book is a delight to read. Brilliant descriptions of well-selected scenes from films that question normative documentary practice are integrated with a fine analysis. The section on Northeast Indian film is particularly welcome for receiving scant attention in the scholarly literature, and the chapters that foreground light and then sound are especially evocative. It is a unique contribution to the literature on south Asian film and media/cultural studies more generally." —Raminder Kaur, Professor of Anthropology and Cultural Studies, University of Sussex, UK This book introduces the diverse practices of three non-canonical practitioners: David MacDougall, Desire Machine Collective and Kumar Shahani.
