Since the late 1990s, Asian nations have increasingly encouraged, facilitated, or demanded the return of emigrants. In this interdisciplinary collection, distinguished scholars from countries around the world explore the changing relations between nation-states and transnational mobility. Taking into account illegally trafficked migrants, deportees, temporary laborers on short-term contracts, and highly skilled émigrés, the contributors argue that the figure of the returnee energizes and redefines nationalism in an era of increasingly fluid and indeterminate national sovereignty. They acknowledge the diversity, complexity, and instability of reverse migration, while emphasizing its discursive, policy, and political significance at a moment when the tensions between state power and transnational subjects are particularly visible. Taken together, the essays foreground Asia as a useful site for rethinking the intersections of migration, sovereignty, and nationalism.

Описание: In Western thought, it has been persistently assumed that in moral and political matters, people should rely on the inner voice of conscience rather than on external authorities, laws, and regulations. This volume investigates this concept, examining the development of the Western politics of conscience, from Socrates to the present, and the formation of the Western ethico-political subject. The work opens with a discussion of the ambiguous role of conscience in politics, contesting the claim that it is the best defense against totalitarianism. It then look back at canonical authors, from the Church Fathers and Luther to Rousseau and Derrida, to show how the experience of conscience constitutes the foundation of Western ethics and politics. This unique work not only synthesizes philosophical and political insights, but also pays attention to political theology to provide a compelling and innovative argument that the experience of conscience has always been at the core of the political Western tradition. An engaging and accessible text, it will appeal to political theorists and philosophers as well as theologians and those interested in the critique of the Western civilization.

Описание: Theological and Philosophical Responses to Syncretism: Beyond the Mirage of Pure Religion by Patrik Fridlund and Mika Vahakangas (eds.) starts from the observation that there is a substantial gap between religions’ self-understanding and the empirical results of religious studies concerning religious blending. Even in theology of religion, one often portrays religions as if they were entities fundamentally separate from each other. The aims of this book are to elaborate theologically the consequences of syncretism to Christian faith and of syncretism to philosophy. By creating a critical interchange between theological, philosophical and empirical approaches to religion, this book challenges the conventional views of purity of religions prevailing in theology and philosophy as well as proposes theological and philosophical ways forward.Contributors are: Jonas Adelin, Stephen Bevans, Gavin d’Costa, Patrik Fridlund, Lotta Gammelin, Elizabeth Harris, Jerker Karlsson, Paul Linjamaa, Kang-San Tan, Mika Vahakangas.

It was a blessing to be Moodie's Boy. Yes, being Moodie's Boy gave the author the opportunity to set up, stand, dream, and reach for his goals as he played with the hands of fate. Moodie's Boy is a gripping true story of tradition, change, struggle, survival, determination, hope and the persistence which awaits readers as author Peri Mika Chinoda shares his life and his growing up in Africa. It is a stirring and inspiring life story that unravels the destiny of the author. It shows how one European old lady defied the institutionalized racial policies of the British colony and changed the life of an African boy who would also change the lives of others. Throughout the story the reader is told about the history, culture, and politics of this British colony and shown how destiny was shaped by a person's simple act of kindness and goodwill. The reader is also exposed to a rich dosage of morals embedded in African folklore. Born in a traditional African family in Southern Rhodesia, a British colony at the time, Micah grows up in an environment where the father is the head of the household and always has the last say on everything. As part of their culture, his father has three wives and the children are to do some household chores and respect all the three wives as mothers. Each mother, however, is solely responsible for the daily needs of her children while the father is responsible for the general welfare of the household. Micah's mother wants her children to attend school, but the economic and family obstacles are in the way. These extreme and almost impassable obstacles, plus the distance away from the nearest school; however, do not stop Micah from pursuing a deep quest for an education. This situation compels him to leave home at the age of nine. In the shelter of his two older brothers, he secures employment and attends night school. When this fails, his determination forces him to be employed on a farm to save enough money for school. He asks his African employer to withhold part of his wages for school, but his employer cheats him of the year's wages rightly due to him. In desperation, he seeks another employment in the nearest town, and gets employed as a kitchen assistant by Minnah Pigot-Moodie, a British spinster who would turn the hands of fate on him. Will Micah again ask this employer to withhold his wages for school? Will she also cheat him of his rightful earnings? Will he really have a chance for a brighter future? Readers will find out as this story unfolds his life, education, career, and so much more. One reader comments: "This is quite a story I found it to be very inspiring and uplifting. What a contrast our lives - the author's and mine, and as an adult now I can understand my position of privilege so much better. I am encouraging my students to read Moodie's Boy because of their need to understand how the majority of people in the world live". Another says, "This book has helped me better understand what life was like in Rhodesia".
