In this philosophical study of the later writings of the leading Social Darwinist of Meiji Japan, Baron Katō Hiroyuki (18361916), Davis argues that Katō developed his own philosophical "system." The study's purpose is to recover a "missing link" in the development of Darwinist social thought as a global phenomenon. As such, Davis engages Katō as a thinker and determines what was really at stake in his theory of moral and political naturalism.

Worker activism is not fully explained by familiar models of class consciousness; educational aspirations, family pressures, gender roles, state directives, native-place origins, and clientelist networks have proven as decisive as class consciousness in shaping the behavior of East Asian workers. These workers appear to have been more consumed with the politics of "place" than with a "class" struggle to further their interests. Contents: Putting class in its place : bases of worker identity in East Asia / Elizabeth J. Perry Conditions for the disappearance of the Japanese working-class movement / Andrew Gordon Work, culture, and consciousness of the Korean working-class / Hagen Koo Class identity without class consciousness?

The six essays in this volume offer interpretive readings of a film, a work of plastic art, and an essay, all products of contemporary China. The works are "Chinese" not just because they are by Chinese artists and writers and "from China" but also because they bear witness to cultural and intellectual imaginations by the Chinese themselves and about China in an era of border-crossing. They are part of an interactive reconstruction of the meaning of "Chineseness" in our time.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. xii, 322 pages ; 22 cm. Status, purpose, and lineage are the themes of this study of the postwar Japanese labor movement. Between 1943 and 1984, Japan went from being a vast empire to a defeated, occupied, and outcast nation.

This study looks at individual behavior motivated by this search for high purpose and examines cases differing by status, age, and experience.

This study analyzes the identities of the five-fury spirits in light of the cult's historical linkages with local society in southern Anhui and with other religious traditions in a larger context. These two contexts interacted in complex ways to generate, around the time of the mid-Ming, a localized religious order. Guo explores not only how history transformed the symbolic order, but also how history itself was symbolically ordered and reordered in the process.
