Christian Zlolniski
Janitors, Street Vendors, and Activists: The Lives of Mexican Immigrants in Silicon Valley

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: This highly accessible, engagingly written book exposes the underbelly of California`s Silicon Valley, the most successful high-technology region in the world, in a vivid ethnographic study of Mexican immigrants employed in Silicon Valley`s low-wage jobs. Christian Zlolniski`s on-the-ground investigation demonstrates how global forces have incorporated these workers as an integral part of the economy through subcontracting and other flexible labor practices and explores how these labor practices have in turn affected working conditions and workers` daily lives. In Zlolniski`s analysis, these immigrants do not emerge merely as victims of a harsh economy, despite the obstacles they face, they are transforming labor and community politics, infusing new blood into labor unions, and challenging exclusionary notions of civic and political membership. This richly textured and complex portrait of one community opens a window onto the future of Mexican and other Latino immigrants in the new [detailed...]

Janne Lehtinen: Night Shift

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: Collectors from around the world are scrambling for photographs from Scandinavia, and the work of Janne Lehtinen (born 1970), one of Finland`s best young photographers, has been attracting attention for several years now. Lehtinen`s latest book, following Sacred Bird (2006) and The Descendants (2008), is set in a small city in Finland. Between January and December 2006, the photographer prowled its streets at night, camera in hand, capturing such melancholic images as a father getting off work at dawn following a long night shift. But in Lehtinen`s work, fact and fiction blend together, real events from the past are revived in staged images. Thus, as in his earlier, autobiographically tinged series of works, the images collected in Night Shift reveal poignant memories of childhood and make visible the bonds between generations.

Clayton K S Chun
Japan 1945: From Operation Downfall to Hiroshima and Nagasaki

2008 y.
Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Description: In this 200th Campaign series title Clayton Chun examines the final stages of World War II as the Allies debated how to bring about the surrender of Japan. Chun not only describes the actual events but also analyzes the possible operations to capture the Japanese mainland which were never implemented. He details Operation Downfall (the planned invasion of the Japanese home islands) and its two-phased approach. Firstly Operation Olympic would see the invasion of Kyushu, followed by Operation Coronet which would see the invasion of the area around Tokyo. Chun goes on to examine exactly why these plans were never implemented, including Allied fears that both military and civilian casualties would be terrible and would result in a long, drawn out war of attrition. He then goes on to examine the horrific alternative to military invasion - the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons - which made the Allied threat of `prompt and utter destruction` a reality.

Mike M. Mochizuki
Japan : Domestic Change and Foreign Policy (Rand Report No. MR-616-OSD)

1995 y.
Publisher: RAND Corporation
Description: The current process of Japanese domestic change has the potential to produce a Japan that will be more supportive of U.S. interests. In Japan, political realignment has depolarized the ideological conflict about defense policy and Japan`s security relationship with the United States, and recent electoral reform could eventually cause elections to be contested more on the basis of policy than on client-centered politics. But in the near term, there is the danger of weak and unstable governments that will be unable to implement genuine reform in terms of both economic and foreign policy. Yen appreciation and structural recession are motivating Japan to reconsider developmental corporatism as the most effective way of promoting international economic competitiveness while minimizing the negative social effects of economic change at home. In East Asia, Japan is exporting the export-led model of development and thereby magnifying the trade pressures on the United States. If Japan were to [detailed...]

Japan Awakens: Woodblock Prints of the Meiji Period (1868-1912)

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: The Meiji period`s short span of forty-five years marked an astonishing metamorphosis from primitive feudal state to modern industrial and military power in Japan. The nation`s policy of isolationism, sakoku (closed country), initiated in 1639, was abruptly challenged in 1853 when Commodore Matthew C. Perry sailed into Tokyo Bay with four awe-inspiring iron vessels known as `black ships.` Faced with superior military technology, the Japanese were compelled to sign trade treaties with the United States and other Western countries. Soon, after some bloodshed, the final shogunate dictatorship, the Tokugawa, gave way to the sovereignty of the emperor and a restoration movement that worked hard to shape the new Japan by amalgamating Eastern and Western ideas. Emperor Meiji would ultimately become the symbol of a modernized Japan, and his reign--known as Meiji, `enlightened rule`--would represent one of the most remarkable periods in modern world history. The woodblock printing of the [detailed...]
