Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies Conversations on Race and Racializations【電子書籍】[ Yasuko Takezawa ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞Trans-Pacific Japanese American Studies＜/em＞ is a unique collection of essays derived from a series of dialogues held in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Los Angeles on the issues of racializations, gender, communities, and the positionalities of scholars involved in Japanese American studies. The book brings together some of the most renowned scholars of the discipline in Japan and North America. It seeks to overcome past constraints of dialogues between Japan- and U.S.-based scholars by providing opportunities for candid, extended conversations among its contributors.＜/p＞＜p＞While each contribution focuses on the field of “Japanese American” studies, approaches to the subject varyーranging from national and village archives, community newspapers, personal letters, visual art, and personal interviews. Research papers are divided into six sections: Racializations, Communities, Intersections, Borderlands, Reorientations, and Teaching. Papers by one or two Japan-based scholar(s) are paired with a U.S.-based scholar, reflecting the book’s intention to promote dialogue and mutuality across national formations. The collection is also notable for featuring underrepresented communities in Japanese American studies, such as Okinawan “war brides,” Koreans, women, and multiracials.＜/p＞＜p＞Essays on subject positions raise fundamental questions: Is it possible to engage in a truly equal dialogue when English is the language used in the conversation and in a field where English-language texts predominate? How can scholars foster a mutual respect when U.S.-centrism prevails in the subject matter and in the field’s scholarly hierarchy? Understanding foundational questions that are now frequently unstated assumptions will help to disrupt hierarchies in scholarship and work toward more equal engagements across national divides. Although the study of Japanese Americans has reached a stage of maturity, contributors to this volume recognize important historical and contemporary neglects in that historiography and literature. Japanese America and its scholarly representations, they declare, are much too deep, rich, and varied to contain in a singular narrative or subject position.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,796円

Rethinking Japanese Studies Eurocentrism and the Asia-Pacific Region【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Japanese Studies has provided a fertile space for non-Eurocentric analysis for a number of reasons. It has been embroiled in the long-running internal debate over the so-called Nihonjinron, revolving around the extent to which the effective interpretation of Japanese society and culture requires non-Western, Japan-specific emic concepts and theories. This book takes this question further and explores how we can understand Japanese society and culture by combining Euro-American concepts and theories with those that originate in Japan. Because Japan is the only liberal democracy to have achieved a high level of capitalism outside the Western cultural framework, Japanese Studies has long provided a forum for deliberations about the extent to which the Western conception of modernity is universally applicable. Furthermore, because of Japan’s military, economic and cultural dominance in Asia at different points in the last century, Japanese Studies has had to deal with the issues of Japanocentrism as well as Eurocentrism, a duality requiring complex and nuanced analysis.＜/p＞＜p＞This book identifies variations amongst Japanese Studies academic communities in the Asia-Pacific and examines the extent to which relatively autonomous scholarship, intellectual approach or theories exist in the region. It also evaluates how studies on Japan in the region contribute to global Japanese Studies and explores their potential for formulating concrete strategies to unsettle Eurocentric dominance of the discipline.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,511円

Dogfight over Tokyo The Final Air Battle of the Pacific and the Last Four Men to Die in World War II【電子書籍】[ John Wukovits ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞From an expert in the Pacific theater of World War II comes the tragic story of the pilots who fought the last fight of the war during the first hour of peace＜/strong＞＜/p＞＜p＞When Billy Hobbs and his fellow Hellcat aviators from Air Group 88 lifted off from the venerable Navy carrier USS ＜em＞Yorktown＜/em＞ early on the morning of August 15, 1945, they had no idea they were about to carry out the final air mission of World War II. Two hours later, ＜em＞Yorktown＜/em＞ received word from Admiral Nimitz that the war had ended and that all offensive operations should cease. As they were turning back, twenty Japanese planes suddenly dove from the sky above them and began a ferocious attack. Four American pilots never returnedーmen who had lifted off from the carrier in wartime but were shot down during peacetime.＜/p＞＜p＞Drawing on participant letters, diaries, and interviews, newspaper and radio accounts, and previously untapped archival records, historian and prolific author of acclaimed Pacific theater books, including ＜em＞Tin Can Titans＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Hell from the Heavens＜/em＞, John Wukovits tells the story of Air Group 88's pilots and crew through their eyes. ＜em＞Dogfight over Tokyo＜/em＞ is written in the same riveting, edge-of-your-seat style that has made Wukovits's previous books so successful. This is a stirring, one-of-a-kind tale of naval encounters and the last dogfight of the warーa story that is both inspirational and tragic.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,935円
Waste and Discards in the Asia Pacific Region Social and Cultural Perspectives【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book uncovers, explores and analyses the cultural and social factors and values that lie behind waste making, recycling and disposal in the Asia Pacific region, where impressive economic growth has led to significant increases in production, consumption and concomitant waste production.＜/p＞＜p＞This volume demonstrates the immense scope of waste as a multi-sectoral phenomenon, covering discussions on food, menstrual products, sewage, electronics, scrap, nuclear waste, plastics and even entire villages as they are submerged underwater by dam building, considered expendable in favour of economic growth. It discusses the wide range of approaches and contexts through which people interact with waste, including socio-economic analysis, participatory observation, laboratory science, art, video, installations, literature and photography. Case studies focusing on India, China and Japan, in addition to other regional examples, demonstrate the ubiquity of waste, materially and geographically. They reveal the multiple, sometimes contradictory, dimensions of waste: managing it can foster community building but can also exclude marginalized groups; waste can trigger innovative economic concepts and practices, but it can also pollute the oceans in large garbage gyres and it can wondrously change its nature from trash to useful components to new production, before being discarded once again.＜/p＞＜p＞This timely and wide-ranging collection of essays will be an important read for scholars, researchers and students in sustainability, development studies, discard studies, and social and cultural history, particularly focusing on countries in the Asia Pacific.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	8,866円
Red Star over the Pacific, Second Edition China's Rise and the Challenge to U.S. Maritime Strategy【電子書籍】[ Toshi Yoshihara ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Combining a close knowledge of Asia and an ability to tap Chinese-language sources with naval combat experience and expertise in sea-power theory, the authors assess how the rise of Chinese sea power will affect U.S. maritime strategy in Asia. They argue that China has laid the groundwork for a sustained challenge to American primacy in maritime Asia, and to defend this hypothesis they look back to Alfred Thayer Mahan’s sea-power theories, now popular with the Chinese. The book considers how strategic thought about the sea shapes Beijing’s deliberations and compares China’s geostrategic predicament to that of the Kaiser’s Germany a century ago. It examines the Chinese navy’s operational concepts, tactics, and capabilities and appraises China’s missile force. The authors conclude that China now presents a challenge to America’s strategic position of such magnitude that Washington must compete in earnest.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	5,024円

California Burning The Fall of Pacific Gas and Electric--and What It Means for America's Power Grid【電子書籍】[ Katherine Blunt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜em＞NATIONAL BESTSELLER＜/em＞＜br /＞ 2022 Winner of the Golden Poppy Award for Nonfiction (California Independent Booksellers Alliance)＜/p＞＜p＞A revelatory, urgent narrative with national implications, exploring the decline of California’s largest utility company that led to countless wildfires ー including the one that destroyed the town of Paradise ー and the human cost of infrastructure failure＜/p＞＜p＞Pacific Gas and Electric was a legacy company built by innovators and visionaries, establishing California as a desirable home and economic powerhouse. In ＜em＞California Burning, Wall Street Journal＜/em＞ reporter and Pulitzer finalist Katherine Blunt examines how that legacy fell apartーunraveling a long history of deadly failures in which Pacific Gas and Electric endangered millions of Northern Californians, through criminal neglect of its infrastructure. As PG&E prioritized profits and politics, power lines went uncheckedーuntil a rusted hook purchased for 56 cents in 1921 split in two, sparking the deadliest wildfire in California history.＜/p＞＜p＞Beginning with PG&E’s public reckoning after the Paradise fire, Blunt chronicles the evolution of PG&E’s shareholder base, from innovators who built some of California's first long-distance power lines to aggressive investors keen on reaping dividends. Following key players through pivotal decisions and legal battles, ＜em＞California Burning＜/em＞ reveals the forces that shaped the plight of PG&E: deregulation and market-gaming led by Enron Corp., an unyielding push for renewable energy, and a swift increase in wildfire risk throughout the West, while regulators and lawmakers pushed their own agendas.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞California Burning＜/em＞ is a deeply reported, character-driven narrative, the story of a disaster expanding into a much bigger exploration of accountability. It’s an American tragedy that serves as a cautionary tale for utilities across the nationーespecially as climate change makes aging infrastructure more vulnerable, with potentially fatal consequences.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,095円
American Amphibious Gunboats in World War II A History of LCI and LCS(L) Ships in the Pacific【電子書籍】[ Robin L. Rielly ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞As the United States began its campaign against numerous Japanese-held islands in the Pacific, Japanese tactics required them to develop new weapons and strategies. One of the most crucial to the island assaults was a new group of amphibious gunboats that could deliver heavy fire close in to shore as American forces landed. These gunboats were also to prove important in the interdiction of inter-island barge traffic and, late in the war, the kamikaze threat. Several variations of these gunboats were developed, based on the troop carrying LCI(L). They included three conversions of the LCI(L), with various combinations of guns, rockets and mortars, and a fourth gunboat, the LCS(L), based on the same hull but designed as a weapons platform from the beginning. By the end of the war the amphibious gunboats had proven their worth.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	3,352円

New Oceania Modernisms and Modernities in the Pacific【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞For so long figured in European discourses as the antithesis of modernity, the Pacific Islands have remained all but absent from the modernist studies’ critical map. Yet, as the chapters of ＜em＞New Oceania: Modernisms and Modernities in the Pacific＜/em＞ collectively show, Pacific artists and writers have been as creatively engaged in the construction and representation of modernity as any of their global counterparts. In the second half of the twentieth century, driving a still ongoing process of decolonisation, Pacific Islanders forged an extraordinary cultural and artistic movement. Integrating Indigenous aesthetics, forms, and techniques with a range of other influences ー realist novels, avant-garde poetry, anti-colonial discourse, biblical verse, Indian mythology, American television, Bollywood film ー Pacific artists developed new creative registers to express the complexity of the region’s transnational modernities. ＜em＞New Oceania＜/em＞ presents the first sustained account of the modernist dimensions of this period, while presenting timely reflections on the ideological and methodological limitations of the global modernism rubric. Breaking new critical ground, it brings together scholars from a range of backgrounds to demonstrate the relevance of modernism for Pacific scholars, and the relevance of Pacific literature for modernist scholars.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	9,188円
Minilateralism in the Indo-Pacific The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Mechanism, and ASEAN【電子書籍】楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞While US-centred bilateralism and ASEAN-led multilateralism have largely dominated the post-Cold War regional security architecture in the Indo-Pacific, increasing doubts about their effectiveness have resulted in countries turning to alternative forms of cooperation, such as minilateral arrangements. Compared to multilateral groupings, minilateral platforms are smaller in size, as well as more exclusive, flexible and functional.＜/p＞＜p＞Both China and the US have contributed to minilateral initiatives in the Indo-Pacific. In the case of the former, there is the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation mechanismーinvolving China, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnamーestablished in 2015. In the case of the latter, there has been a revival of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue in 2017ーinvolving the US, Australia, Japan and India. This book examines the rise of these arrangements, their challenges and opportunities, as well as their impact on the extant regional security architecture, including on the ASEAN-led multilateral order.＜/p＞＜p＞A valuable guide for students and policy-makers looking to understand the nature and development of minilateralism in the Indo-Pacific region.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	8,544円

Hundreds of thousands of service members, their families, and residents have been exposedーbut the United States has hidden the damage and refused to help victims.＜br /＞ After World War II, the United States granted immunity to Japanese military scientists in exchange for their data on biological weapons tests conducted in China; in the following years, nuclear detonations in the Pacific obliterated entire islands and exposed Americans, Marshallese, Chamorros, and Japanese fishing crews to radioactive fallout. At the same time, the United States experimented with biological weapons on Okinawa and stockpiled the island with nuclear and chemical munitions, causing numerous accidents. Meanwhile, the CIA orchestrated a campaign to introduce nuclear power to Japanーthe folly of which became horrifyingly clear in the 2011 meltdowns in Fukushima Prefecture.＜br /＞ Caught in a geopolitical grey zone, US territories have been among the worst affected by military contamination, including Guam, Saipan, and Johnston Island, the final disposal site of apocalyptic volumes of chemical weapons and Agent Orange.＜br /＞ Accompanying this damage, US authorities have waged a campaign of cover-ups, lies, and attacks on the media, which the author has experienced firsthand in the form of military surveillance and attempts by the State Department to impede his work. Now, for the first time, this explosive book reveals the horrific extent of contamination in the Pacific and the lengths the Pentagon will go to conceal it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,170円

The Architecture and Landscape Gardening of the Exposition A Pictorial Survey of the Most Beautiful Achitectural Compositions of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition【電子書籍】[ Louis Christian Mullgardt ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Architecture and Landscape Gardening of the Exposition," Louis Christian Mullgardt presents a comprehensive exploration of the architectural innovations and landscape designs that characterized the early 20th-century exposition. The book meticulously details the aesthetic principles, spatial arrangements, and cultural significances of the structures and gardens that defined the exposition, utilizing a blend of evocative prose and analytical rigor. Mullgardt engages with contemporary architectural movements, embedding his observations within the broader discourse of landscape architecture, and invites readers to consider the interplay between nature and built environments in shaping public spaces. Louis Christian Mullgardt, a prominent architect and landscape designer himself, was deeply influenced by the arts and crafts movement and the burgeoning American architecture scene of his time. His first-hand experiences working on the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915 provided him with valuable insights, informing both his theoretical perspectives and practical applications in the book. Mullgardt's appreciation for harmony between nature and structure shines through his examination of the exposition's design philosophy. For anyone intrigued by the nexus of architecture and landscape design, this scholarly work serves as an essential text.

Indo-Pacific Empire China, America and the contest for the world's pivotal region【電子書籍】[ Rory Medcalf ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The definitive guide to the world’s most contested region.＜/p＞＜p＞The Indo-Pacific is both a place and an idea. It is the region central to global prosperity and security. It is also a metaphor for collective action. If diplomacy fails, it will be the theatre of the first general war since 1945. But if its future can be secured, the Indo-Pacific will flourish as a shared space, the centre of gravity in a connected world.＜/p＞＜p＞What we call different parts of the world ? Asia, Europe, the Middle East ? seems innocuous. But the name of a region is totemic, guiding the decisions of leaders and the story of international order, war and peace. In recent years, the label ‘Indo-Pacific’ has suddenly gained wide use. But what does it really mean?＜/p＞＜p＞Written by a globally-renowned expert, ＜em＞Indo-Pacific Empire＜/em＞ is the definitive guide to tensions in the region. It deftly weaves together history, geopolitics, cartography, military strategy, economics, games and propaganda to address a vital question: how can China’s dominance be prevented without war?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	2,316円
The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific Strategy, Order, and Regional Security【電子書籍】[ Alessio Patalano ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞A new framework contextualizes crucial international security issues at sea in the Indo-Pacific＜/p＞＜p＞Competition at sea is once again a central issue of international security. Nowhere is the urgency to address state-on-state competition at sea more strongly felt than in the Indo-Pacific region, where freedom of navigation is challenged by regional states’ continuous investments in naval power, and the renewed political will to use it to undermine its principles.＜/p＞＜p＞The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific provides an original framework in which five “factors of influence” explain how and why naval power matters in this pivotal part of the world. An international group of contributors make the case that these five factors draw upon a longstanding influence of naval power on regional dynamics and impact the extent to which different states in the region use naval power: the capacity to exert control over sea-lanes, the capacity to deploy a nuclear deterrent at sea, the capacity to implement the law of the sea in an advantageous way, the ability to control marine resources, and the capacity for technological innovation.＜/p＞＜p＞The New Age of Naval Power in the Indo-Pacific offers a fresh approach for academics and policy makers seeking to navigate the complexity of maritime security and regional affairs.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,298円

Seeking Refuge Birds and Landscapes of the Pacific Flyway【電子書籍】[ Robert M Wilson ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Each fall and spring, millions of birds travel the Pacific Flyway, the westernmost of the four major North American bird migration routes. The landscapes they cross vary from wetlands to farmland to concrete, inhabited not only by wildlife but also by farmers, suburban families, and major cities. In the twentieth century, farmers used the wetlands to irrigate their crops, transforming the landscape and putting migratory birds at risk. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service responded by establishing a series of refuges that stretched from northern Washington to southern California.＜/p＞＜p＞What emerged from these efforts was a hybrid environment, where the distinctions between irrigated farms and wildlife refuges blurred. Management of the refuges was fraught with conflicting priorities and practices. Farmers and refuge managers harassed birds with shotguns and flares to keep them off private lands, and government pilots took to the air, dropping hand grenades among flocks of geese and herding the startled birds into nearby refuges. Such actions masked the growing connections between refuges and the land around them.＜/p＞＜p＞＜em＞Seeking Refuge＜/em＞ examines the development and management of refuges in the wintering range of migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. Although this is a history of efforts to conserve migratory birds, the story Robert Wilson tells has considerable salience today. Many of the key places migratory birds use ー the Klamath Basin, California’s Central Valley, the Salton Sea ー are sites of recent contentious debates over water use. Migratory birds connect and depend on these landscapes, and farmers face pressure as water is reallocated from irrigation to other purposes. In a time when global warming promises to compound the stresses on water and migratory species, ＜em＞Seeking Refuge＜/em＞ demonstrates the need to foster landscapes where both wildlife and people can thrive.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,796円
The Making of Japanese Settler Colonialism Malthusianism and Trans-Pacific Migration, 1868?1961【電子書籍】[ Sidney Xu Lu ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This innovative study demonstrates how Japanese empire-builders invented and appropriated the discourse of overpopulation to justify Japanese settler colonialism across the Pacific. Lu defines this overpopulation discourse as 'Malthusian expansionism'. This was a set of ideas that demanded additional land abroad to accommodate the supposed surplus people in domestic society on the one hand and emphasized the necessity of national population growth on the other. Lu delineates ideological ties, human connections and institutional continuities between Japanese colonial migration in Asia and Japanese migration to Hawaii and North and South America from 1868 to 1961. He further places Malthusian expansionism at the center of the logic of modern settler colonialism, challenging the conceptual division between migration and settler colonialism in global history.

Not only was he Japan's longest-serving Prime Minister, but he is also credited with giving a new direction to the country's economic, foreign and national-security policies.＜/p＞＜p＞Abe left an indelible imprint on Japan-India relations, establishing close ties with two successive Indian Prime Ministers and signing up to a new global and strategic partnership between Asia's major democracies.
