ISBN: 9780774808415 / Angielski / Miękka / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout its modern history China has suffered from immense destruction and loss of life from warfare.

But in China, the story of modern war-related death and suffering has remained hidden. The Rape of Nanking is beginning to be known, but hundreds of other massacres are still unrecognized by the outside world and even by China itself. The focus of Scars of War is the social and psychological, not the economic, costs of war on the country. The book is...

Images in Asian Religions: Text and Contexts
ISBN: 9780774809498 / Angielski / Miękka / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Bringing together anthropologists, art historians, and scholars of religion with interests in India, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, Images in Asian...

Obedient Autonomy: Chinese Intellectuals and the Achievement of Orderly Life
ISBN: 9780774809290 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the west, the idea of autonomy is often associated with a sense of freedom -- a self-interested state of being, unfettered by rules or obligations to others. In this original anthropological study, Erika Evasdottir explores a type of "obedient" autonomy that thrives on setbacks, blossoms as more rules are imposed, and flourishes in adversity. Obedient Autonomy analyzes this model, and explains its precepts through examining the specialized and highly organized discipline of archaeology in China. The book follows Chinese students on their journey to becoming full-fledged...

During World War II over 5,500 young Japanese Americans left the concentration camps to which they had been confined with their families in order to attend college.

Using abundant primary data, the author gives a clear and...
