Find tips, reviews, and features on Divorce in Japan Family Gender sold for 78.79 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
Historians have paid little attention to divorce in Japan even though until the midtwentieth century Japan had one of the highest divorce rates in the world This book shows that the high prevalence of divorce was made possible by a regulatory framework condoning consensual divorce Spouses and their families were usually free to negotiate dissolution with little interference from public authorities Only in the rare cases of intractable conflict did parties seek legal adjudication a situation that holds true to this day Despite the institutional and ideological continuities over four centuries the perception and practice of divorce have been transformed in adapting to new social roles for men and women changing views of marriage and parenting and changes in intergenerational relations Married couples across all social groups have more control over initiating and terminating their marriage than ever before Wives now have the same legal rights to sue for divorce as their husbands The author shows however that not all changes have been to the womens advantage nor were traditional practices as detrimental to women as is often assumed

Find tips, reviews, and features on Empires of Coal Fueling China sold for 27.09 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
From 18681872 German geologist Ferdinand von Richthofen went on an expedition to China His reports on what he found there would transform Western interest in China from the land of porcelain and tea to a repository of immense coal reserves By the 1890s European and American powers and the Qing state and local elites battled for control over the rights to these valuable mineral deposits As coal went from a useful commodity to the essential fuel of industrialization this vast natural resource would prove integral to the struggle for political control of China Geology served both as the handmaiden to European imperialism and the rallying point of Chinese resistance to Western encroachment In the late nineteenth century both foreign powers and the Chinese viewed control over mineral resources as the key to modernization and industrialization When the first China Geological Survey began work in the 1910s conceptions of natural resources had already shifted and the Qing state expanded its control over mining rights setting the precedent for the subsequent Republican and Peoples Republic of China regimes In Empires of Coal Shellen Xiao Wu argues that the changes specific to the late Qing were part of global trends in the nineteenth century when the rise of science and industrialization destabilized global systems and caused widespread unrest and the toppling of ruling regimes around the world

In The Greater East Asia CoProsperity Sphere Jeremy Yellen exposes the history politics and intrigue that characterized the era when Japans total empire met the total war of World War II He illuminates the ways in which the imperial center and its individual colonies understood the concept of the Sphere offering two sometimes competing sometimes complementary and always intertwined visionsone from Japan the other from Burma and the PhilippinesYellen argues that from 1940 to 1945 the Greater East Asia CoProsperity Sphere epitomized two concurrent wars for Asias future the first was for a new type of empire in Asia and the second was a political war waged by nationalist elites in the colonial capitals of Rangoon and Manila Exploring Japanese visions for international order in the face of an everchanging geopolitical situation The Greater East Asia CoProsperity Sphere explores wartime Japans desire to shape and control its imperial future while its colonies attempted to do the same At Japans zenith as an imperial power the Sphere represented a plan for regional domination by the end of the war it had been recast as the epitome of cooperative internationalism In the end the Sphere could not survive wartime defeat and Yellens lucidly written account reveals much about the desires of Japan as an imperial and colonial power as well as the ways in which the subdued colonies in Burma and the Philippines jockeyed for agency and a say in the future of the region

How did American schoolchildren French philosophers Russian Sinologists Dutch merchants and British lawyers imagine China and Chinese law What happened when agents of presumably dominant Western empires had to endure the humiliations and anxieties of maintaining a profitable but precarious relationship with China In Chinese Law in Imperial Eyes Li Chen provides a richly textured analysis of these related issues and their intersection with law culture and politics in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesUsing a wide array of sources Chens study focuses on the power dynamics of SinoWestern relations during the formative century before the First Opium War 18391842 He highlights the centrality of law to modern imperial ideology and politics and brings new insight to the origins of comparative Chinese law in the West the First Opium War and foreign extraterritoriality in China The shifting balance of economic and political power formed and transformed knowledge of China and Chinese law in different contact zones Chen argues that recovering the variegated and contradictory roles of Chinese law in Western modernization helps provincialize the subsequent EuroAmericentric discourse of global modernityChen draws attention to important yet underanalyzed sites in which imperial sovereignty national identity cultural tradition or international law and order were defined and restructured His valuable case studies show how constructed differences between societies were hardened into cultural or racial boundaries and then politicized to rationalize international conflicts and hierarchy

Neither Donkey nor Horse tells the story of how Chinese medicine was transformed from the antithesis of modernity in the early twentieth century into a potent symbol of and vehicle for Chinas exploration of its own modernity half a century later Instead of viewing this transition as derivative of the political history of modern China Sean Hsianglin Lei argues that Chinas medical history had a life of its own one that at times directly influenced the ideological struggle over the meaning of Chinas modernity and the Chinese state nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp Far from being a remnant of Chinas premodern past Chinese medicine in the twentieth century coevolved with Western medicine and the Nationalist state undergoing a profound transformationinstitutionally epistemologically and materiallythat resulted in the creation of a modern Chinese medicine This new medicine was derided as neither donkey nor horse because it necessarily betrayed both of the parental traditions and therefore was doomed to fail Yet this hybrid medicine survived through selfinnovation and negotiation thus challenging the conception of modernity that rejected the possibility of productive crossbreeding between the modern and the traditional nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbsp By exploring the production of modern Chinese medicine and Chinas modernity in tandem Lei offers both a political history of medicine and a medical history of the Chinese state
