Coolies and Cane: Race, Labor, and Sugar in the Age of Emancipation

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: How did thousands of Chinese migrants end up working alongside African Americans in Louisiana after the Civil War? With the stories of these workers, Coolies and Cane advances an interpretation of emancipation that moves beyond U.S. borders and the black-white racial dynamic. Tracing American ideas of Asian labor to the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, Moon-Ho Jung argues that the racial formation of `coolies` in American culture and law played a pivotal role in reconstructing concepts of race, nation, and citizenship in the United States.Jung examines how coolies appeared in major U.S. political debates on race, labor, and immigration between the 1830s and 1880s. He finds that racial notions of coolies were articulated in many, often contradictory, ways. They could mark the progress of freedom, they could also symbolize the barbarism of slavery. Welcomed and rejected as neither black nor white, coolies emerged recurrently as both the salvation of the fracturing and reuniting… [detailed...]

Coolies, Capital and Colonialism: Studies in Indian Labour History (International Review of Social History Supplements)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Marriage choice plays a crucial role in the formation and decay of social classes. Endogamy, the custom forbidding marriage outside one’s social class, is thus central to social history. The study considers the factors determining who married whom, whether partner selection has changed over time and regional differences between Europe and South America. The volume also questions to what extent these factors have changed over the past three hundred years. The case studies presented are preceded by a state-of-the-art theoretical introduction on the determinants influencing trends in social endogamy. Each contributor has employed the same social-class scheme and thus the volume is the first comparative study of social endogamy in an historical context. [detailed...]

C.D. Wright
Cooling Time : An American Poetry Vigil

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description C. D. Wright takes her title from a line of legal defense, peculiar to Texas courts, in which it is held that if a man kills before having had time `to cool` after receiving an injury or an insult he is not guilty of murder. Cooling Time is a new type of book, an unruly vigil that is an interconnected memoir-poem-essay about contemporary American poetry. Ever focused on possibilities , Wright demonstrates that `the search for models becomes a search for alternatives,` and thereby defines the terms by which poets can chart their own course. These are some of the things I have touched in my life that are forbidden: paintings behind velvet ropes, electric fencing, a vault in an office, gun in a drawer, my brother`s folding money, the poet`s anus, the black holes in his heart-where his life went out of him . Tell me, what is the long stretch of road for if not to sort out the reasons why we are here and why we do what we do, from… [detailed...]

Bernd Becher, Hilla Becher
Cooling Towers

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Bernd and Hilla Becher`s photography can be considered conceptual art, typological study, and topological documentation. Their work can be linked to the Neue Sachlichkeit movement of the 1920s and to such masters of German photography as Karl Blossfeldt, August Sander, and Albert Renger-Patzsch. Their photographs documenting the architecture of industrial structures, taken over the course of forty years, make up the most important body of work to be found in independent objective photography. This volume adds cooling towers to a list of photographic projects that includes book-length studies of water towers, blast furnaces, gas tanks, mineheads, and frame houses. Since the end of the nineteenth century, cooling towers have formed a striking part of electricity and steel works. The first cooling towers were wood-clad structures at coal mines, more recent examples are the steel or concrete constructions seen at nuclear power stations. The simplicity of these forms and… [detailed...]

Cooperating on Competition in Transatlantic Economic Relations: The Politics of Dispute Prevention

2006 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: The European Union and the United States have developed a cooperative framework to regulate and prevent companies from obtaining monopolies or pursuing other anti-competitive business activities. Such regulation allows both the EU and the US to manage competition from overseas markets. This cooperative framework is based on non-treaty agreements signed between the EU and US competition regulators. While most scholarly inquiries into international cooperation focus on the negotiating dynamics of treaties, this study provides particularly important insights into the politics of dispute prevention via non-treaty agreements. The international and domestic incentives that led EU and US competition regulators to pursue non-treaty agreements also inform the reasons why these regulators pursue the creation of bilateral and multilateral institutions to increase international cooperation in competition policy. Chad Damro is Lecturer in Politics and Co-Director of the MSc in… [detailed...]

Cooperation and Competition in a Common Market: Studies on the Formation of Mercosur (Contributions to Economics)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book analyses the economic implications of the most important regional integration agreement in Latin America, the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). Accordingly empirical evidence and theoretical arguments on the costs and benefits of MERCOSUR are provided and the effects of the elimination of custom barriers to intra-regional trade on trade patterns, product differentiation and cost efficiency are quantified. Other issues considered are the obstacles to policy coordination, in particular national divergences in income levels and growth rates. As an up-to-date and comprehensive study of trade flows and economic conditions within the MERCOSUR this book will be an essential reading for all those who wish to get behind the immediate arguments about the future of integration in South America and the prospects of further economic and monetary cooperation in that region.

Cooperation in Wireless Networks: Principles and Applications: Real Egoistic Behavior is to Cooperate!

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Cooperation is known as an effective strategy in nature to achieve individual or common goals by forming cooperative groups. As the cross over between nature and engineering has always been fruitful, Cooperation in Wireless Networks: Principles and Applications advocates the use of cooperative strategies in the field of wireless communications. Whether to cooperate or act autonomously, i.e., in a more selfish manner, has to be decided by each wireless terminal individually. Following the rule `The real egoistic behavior is to cooperate`, mutual aid among terminals will be applied if and only if it is beneficial for all group members. Cooperation in Wireless Networks: Principles and Applications covers the underlying principles of cooperative techniques as well as several applications demonstrating the use of such techniques in practical systems. The work is written in a collaborative manner by several authors from Asia, America, and Europe. Twenty chapters introduce and discuss in… [detailed...]

Cooperative Control and Optimization (Applied Optimization, 66)

Publisher: —
Description: A cooperative system is defined to be multiple dynamic entities that share information or tasks to accomplish a common, though perhaps not singular, objective. Examples of cooperative control systems might include: robots operating within a manufacturingcell, unmanned aircraft in search and rescue operations or military surveillance and attack missions, arrays of micro satellites that form a distributed large aperture radar, employees operating within an organization, and software agents. The term entity is most often associated with vehicles capable of physical motion such as robots, automobiles, ships, and aircraft, but the definition extends to any entity concept that exhibits a time dependent behavior. Critical to cooperation is communication, whichmay be accomplished through active message passing or by passive observation. It is assumed that cooperation is being used to accomplish some common purpose that is greater than the purpose of each individual, but we recognize that the… [detailed...]
