Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After graduating with Cornell's civil engineering class of 1971 and a five-week stint as a taxi driver in New York City, Jim Jouppi shipped out for a Peace Corps adventure in Thailand. After completing his two-year tour, he was ready to go back home when, after meeting a flirtatious Thai jownatee, he decided to take a home leave and return for one more year. Upon his return to Thailand, he found himself immersed in a very personal dilemma while trying to escape the confluence of Thai government, Peace Corps, and counterinsurgency politics in the Communist sensitive province where he was stationed. Jouppi was later employed in America as an engineer-in-training, carpenter apprentice, refugee worker, and postal worker, spent three years in the Army as a medic, and earned a master's degree in tropical public health civil engineering in England. His first sustained attempt at memoir writing was critiqued by the late Dr. John Shade of the Pearl S. Buck Foundation in 1979 as 'a statement of the times which has to be presented as other than the truth because too many people are not ready for the truth.' His self-published Peace Corps survival manual was later critiqued by Buckminster Fuller protégée James (Jay) Baldwin as 'part of your basic homework if you are considering the Peace Corps or any other government-sponsored assistance program.' Prior to writing this latest version of his memoir, he learned as much as possible from people with different perspectives in an effort to understand the larger mosaic. He concludes with a plan for a post-pandemic Peace Corps with enhanced pre-training; independent, so far as is possible, from American Intelligence, a Peace Corps which can build on its sixty-year history and continue to be a viable vocational option for Americans into the future.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Under the best of conditions, the Peace Corps experience is somewhat like being parachuted into a human drama unfolding in a different culture. The volunteer struggles to be understood, but his attempts can be for naught if he misunderstands the framework of his role. The only way to really understand the framework of one's Peace Corps role is to live inside it, as did author James Jouppi.In August of 1971, Jouppi arrived in Thailand as part of Peace Corps Thailand Group 38, a civil engineering group slated to work in the most communist-sensitive and most poverty-stricken areas of Thailand for Thailand's Community Development Department. In Backward Buildup, Jouppi documents the challenges of working inside the Peace Corps system, both prior to his work areas being designated red and after that time as well.Augmented with maps, photographs, and letters, Backward Buildup offers a compelling look into both the politics of Nixon-era America and that of staunchly anti-communist Thailand as it fought a shadow war adjoining the one that was raging in Vietnam and Laos, before projecting into the present and providing insights for new strategies in the future.
