  • ISBN : 146164397X

Download or read book Teaching the Violent Past written by Elizabeth A. Cole and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-10-04 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During an armed conflict or period of gross human rights violations, the first priority is a cessation of violence. For the cease-fire to be more than a lull in hostilities and atrocities, however, it must be accompanied by a plan for political transition and social reconstruction. Essential to this long-term reconciliation process is education reform that teaches future generations information repressed under dictatorial regimes and offers new representations of former enemies. In Teaching the Violent Past, Cole has gathered nine case studies exploring the use of history education to promote tolerance, inclusiveness, and critical thinking in nations around the world.

Book Stalin s Millennials

    Book Details:
  • Author : Tinatin Japaridze
  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 2022-02-21
  • ISBN : 1793641870
  • Pages : 173 pages

Download or read book Stalin s Millennials written by Tinatin Japaridze and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Joseph Stalin’s increasing popularity in the post-Soviet space, and analyzes how his image, and the nostalgia it evokes, is manipulated and exploited for political gain. The author argues that, in addition to the evil dictator and the Georgian comrade, there is a third portrayal of Stalin—the one projected by the generation that saw the tail end of the USSR, the post-Soviet millennials. This book is not a biography of one of the most controversial historical figures of the past century. Rather, through a combination of sociopolitical commentary and autobiographical elements that are uncommon in monographs of this kind, the attempt is to explore how Joseph Stalin’s complex legacies and the conflicting cult of his irreconcilable tripartite of personalities still loom over the region as a whole, including Russia and, perhaps to an even deeper extent, Koba’s native land—now the independent Republic of Georgia, caught between its unreconciled Soviet past and the potential future within the European Union.

Book From Honto Jin to Bensheng Ren

Download or read book From Honto Jin to Bensheng Ren written by Shih-jung Tzeng and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-05-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to use numerous volumes of mostly unpublished diaries for examining issues of Taiwanese identity. Using the diaries of two Taiwanese intellectuals, the author examines how the Taiwanese national consciousness emerged and was reconstructed under the Japanese and Chinese Nationalist rule between 1920 and 1955, suggesting that a multi-dimensional Taiwanese national consciousness was created in the 1920s. Nevertheless, between 1937 and 1945, it was reconstructed by the imperial war mobilization. It then underwent a further reconstruction during and after the regime change from Japan to China, leading to the emergence of the bensheng ren (native Taiwanese) consciousness. The emerging international Cold War environment enabled the creation of a de facto independent state based on Taiwan-size governance, which had an impact on shaping the bensheng ren identity.

Book The Politics of Locality

Download or read book The Politics of Locality written by Hsin-Yi Lu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-08-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the mid-1990s, Taiwan witnessed a remarkable proliferation of historical writings and cultural movements pertaining to 'the local'. 'Place (difang)' and 'community (shequ)' became two ubiquitous terms in the lexicon of being Taiwanese. This book is a critical examination of the socio-historical condition in which the discourse of local diversity emerged and gradually permeated Taiwan's public culture. Interweaving ethnographic sensibility and theoretical insights across disciplines, including anthropology, cultural studies and cultural geography the study elucidates the complex relationships between localism, nationalism and globalism. Not only is it a rare type of ethnography in Taiwan studies, this book also enriches our understanding of the increasingly significant field of East Asia (post)modernity.

Book The History of Modern Japanese Education

Download or read book The History of Modern Japanese Education written by Benjamin C. Duke and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Modern Japanese Education is the first account in English of the construction of a national school system in Japan, as outlined in the 1872 document, the Gakusei. Divided into three parts tracing decades of change, the book begins by exploring the feudal background for the Gakusei during the Tokugawa era which produced the initial leaders of modern Japan. Next, Benjamin Duke traces the Ministry of Education's investigations of the 1870s to determine the best western model for Japan, including the decision to adopt American teaching methods. He then goes on to cover the eventual "reverse course" sparked by the Imperial Household protest that the western model overshadowed cherished Japanese traditions. Ultimately, the 1890 Imperial Rescript on Education integrated Confucian teachings of loyalty and filial piety with Imperial ideology, laying the moral basis for a western-style academic curriculum in the nation's schools.

Book Rethinking Japan s Identity and International Role

Download or read book Rethinking Japan s Identity and International Role written by Susanne Klien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a study of Japan's international role with a special focus on its historical evolution. To that end, the following three pillars lay the necessary theoretical foundations: one, the notions of historical and political identity and a discussion of the ambivalent shapes they have taken in Japan; two, the regional context, an examination of Japan's situation with respect to Asian history as a whole, and finally, the "civilian power" concept as defined by Hanns W. Maull.
