Описание: This publication provides a virtually complete collection of British diplomatic reports on Japan from 1906 to 1970, previously unknown, inaccessible or withheld. The reports detail the phase of imperial expansion and the territorial conflicts with Russia and China are clearly documented and analysed from the British diplomatic viewpoint. The most detailed narrative refers to relations with the British, including the question of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1921, and political and economic questions throughout the pre-war and modern period. The post-war reports make numerous observations on Japanese-American relations, particularly during the period of US occupation. Economic reports are found regularly from 1930 to 1963, and cover budget affairs, industrial production, shipping and trade figures as well as comment and analysis. The pre-war reports examine Japan's capacity to finance the continuous military activity of the 1930s; later reports reflect the dynamic post-war economic recovery, and the formation and organisation of trade unions.

Описание: False Documents: Inter-American Cultural History, Literature, and the Lost Decade (1975-1992) examines the "return of history" that swept across the Americas during the final two decades of the Cold War as Latin American nations redemocratized and US multiculturalism responded to the conservative bicentennial backlash. Revising the predominantly economic and isolationist accounts of the era, Frans Weiser examines the work of journalists and academics from Hispanic America, Brazil, and the United States who adopted fiction to document recent national discord, repositioning challenges to self-determination in a postnational context.
After deconstructing economic accounts of the "two Americas" model of the hemisphere, including the lost decade (1981-1992) and the "end of history" (1975-1992), Weiser considers six case studies during the same period that reach very different conclusions by drawing on cultural history, including works by Tom s Eloy Mart nez, Laura Antillano, Ana Maria Machado, Silviano Santiago, John Updike, and Jay Cantor. In order to expose how governments controlled and misrepresented recent events, these writers created false documents, or fake historical texts, that presented themselves as legitimate eyewitness accounts or archival documents. Weiser establishes how this alternative to postmodern irony more effectively galvanized citizen responses. As the first book to contextualize the parallel, hemispheric evolutions of postwar literary criticism and cultural historiography, False Documents responds to the methodological impasse between Latin American and American studies as well as the antagonism between history and literature, arguing that collaboration and synthesis are particularly vital at a moment when the humanities is increasingly under attack.

Описание: This volume offers the first, in depth comparison of the Holocaust and new world slavery. Providing a reliable view of the relevant issues, and based on a broad and comprehensive set of data and evidence, Steven Katz analyses the fundamental differences between the two systems and re-evaluates our understanding of the Nazi agenda. Among the subjects he examines are: the use of black slaves as workers compared to the Nazi use of Jewish labor; the causes of slave demographic decline and growth in different New World locations; the main features of Jewish life during the Holocaust relative to slave life with regard to such topics as diet, physical punishment, medical care, and the role of religion; the treatment of slave women and children as compared to the treatment of Jewish women and children in the Holocaust.  Katz shows that slave women were valued as workers, as reproducers of future slaves, and as sexual objects, and that slave children were valued as commodities.  For these reasons, neither slave women nor children were intentionally murdered.  By comparison, Jewish slave women and children were viewed as the ultimate racial enemy and therefore had to be exterminated. These and other findings conclusively demonstrate the uniqueness of the Holocaust compared with other historical instances of slavery.
