Costs and Benefits of Cross-Country Labour Migration in the GMS
ISBN: 9789814345330 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. International labour migration can be characterized in three ways - as human aspiration, tradition, and necessity. For some people, working overseas is a dream. For others, international labour mobility is a tradition. For a great number of people however, international labour migration is an economic necessity. It is the only viable solution to realize their basic human right to a decent life. GMS worker movements to Thailand typify all three characterizations of international labour mobility. While this book focuses on the economic dimensions of international labour emigration, principally...

Freedom in Entangled Worlds: West Papua and the Architecture of Global Power
ISBN: 9780822351221 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eben Kirksey first went to West Papua, the Indonesian-controlled half of New Guinea, as an exchange student in 1998. His later study of West Papua's resistance to the Indonesian occupiers and the forces of globalization morphed as he discovered that collaboration, rather than resistance, was the primary strategy of this dynamic social movement. Accompanying indigenous activists to Washington, London, and the offices of the oil giant BP, Kirksey saw the revolutionaries' knack for getting inside institutions of power and building coalitions with unlikely allies, including many Indonesians. He...

Universe Unraveling
ISBN: 9780801445477 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, Laos was positioned to become a major front in the Cold War. Yet American policymakers ultimately chose to resist communism in neighboring South Vietnam instead. Two generations of historians have explained this decision by citing logistical considerations. Laos's landlocked, mountainous terrain, they hold, made the kingdom an unpropitious place to fight, while South Vietnam possessing a long coastline, navigable rivers, and all-weather roads better accommodated America's military forces. The Universe Unraveling is a provocative... During the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, Laos was positioned to become a major front in the Cold War. Yet American policymakers ultimatel... |

Laughing at Leviathan: Sovereignty and Audience in West Papua
ISBN: 9780226731988 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For West Papua and its people, the promise of sovereignty has never been realized, despite a long and fraught struggle for independence from Indonesia. In "Laughing at Leviathan," Danilyn Rutherford examines this struggle through a series of interlocking essays that drive at the core meaning of sovereignty itself how it is fueled, formed, and even thwarted by pivotal but often overlooked players: those that make up an audience. Whether these players are citizens, missionaries, competing governmental powers, nongovernmental organizations, or the international community at large, Rutherford...

Islanded Identities: Constructions of Postcolonial Cultural Insularity
ISBN: 9789042034068 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The island, because of its supposed isolation, and its apparent small scale, has historically been a privileged site of colonial aggression and acquisitiveness. Yet the island has also been imagined as a uniquely sovereign space, and thus one in which the colonial enterprise can be seen as especially egregious. 'Islandedness' takes on a particular charge in the early twenty-first century, in the supposedly postcolonial period. While contemporary media offer a simulacrum of proximity to others, the reality is that we are ever more distant, inhabiting islands both real and conceptual. Meanwhile...

Islam, Law and the State in Southeast Asia: Volume 3 : Malaysia and Brunei
ISBN: 9781848850675 / Angielski / Twarda / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Malaysia and Brunei both apply a complex hybrid body of positive law to their Malay Muslim majorities. This volume traces the development of a unique ""Anglo-Malay madhhab"" in these states, initially by colonial and latterly by successor states. In Malaysia and Brunei, shari'ah has been filtered through Anglo-common law state institutions, creating a hybrid ""Anglo-Muslim"" mixture of legal doctrines. This system of jurisprudence makes only very limited reference to the classical shari'ah but draws heavily on the secular English common law and its legal traditions, procedures, and...

Rainforest Foraging and Farming in Island Southeast Asia: The Archaeology of the Niah Caves, Sarawak
ISBN: 9781902937540 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The cathedral-like Niah Caves of Sarawak (Borneo) have iconic status in the archaeology of Southeast Asia, because the excavations by Tom and Barbara Harrisson in the 1950s and 1960s revealed the longest sequence of human occupation in the region, from (we now know) 50,000 years ago to the recent past.

In the Place of Origins: Modernity and Its Mediums in Northern Thailand
ISBN: 9780822324812 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Place of Origins tells the tale of modernity in Northern Thailand, discerning its oblique signs in the performances of contemporary spirit mediums. In a world driven by the twin fantasies of pastness and newness, Rosalind C. Morris reveals that spirit mediumship is not simply a theater of atavistic tendency but an arena in which it is possible to read the relationships between new forms of representation and subjectivity, as well as new modes of magic and political power.
