Download or read book Radiant Void written by Karl R De Mesa and published by Flipside Digital Content Company Inc.. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karl De Mesa's Radiant Void is a collection of engaging and observant reportage and journalism on Philippine popular culture, from indie music, the comedy of Michael V, the rise of sleeping disorders among call center agents, to the rise of MMA in the Philippines."e;If there is one thing that's enviable in Karl De Mesa's writing, it's his sense of restlessness. Coupled with a zeitgeisty sense of phraseology and a penchant for the grotesque, this agitation-encapsulated in spitfire Hunter S. Thompson-vibe notes on a sort of continuing present-day doomsday (a socio-cultural doomsday, if you may)-is even more marked, even more gripping than in his already-golden fiction. I say this because, shit, what's more terrifying than the real world? In Report From the Abyss, De Mesa respects his subjects enough to offer himself up to a sort of voluntary drowning, a drowning in worlds not entirely his, an unwelcome, chest-thumping guest so snarky in prosody and observation-nay, journalism-that these very worlds are shaken, momentarily plucked from their otherwise steady orbits."e; - ALDUS SANTOS, Author of Vocalese (Poems) and Repeat While Fading"e;Karl R. De Mesa's writing is like a Mac running on a multi-core-fast, gripping and smooth. The only choking that happens is the one you feel at the base of your throat after reading it."e; - ISHA, movie soundtrack scorer, folk-jazz singer"e;Philippine culture is not a melting pot, as Karl De Mesa makes clear in this engaging set of essays on the rich smorgasbord that comprises the country. There are pop culture icons here, but also underground heroes, contemporary babes (Marian and Solenn), and discerning pieces on how "e;Jingle Magazine"e; and a defunct rock club shaped much of today's music culture without most of today fans knowing it. Then there's the reportage about deadly family feuds in Mindanao and sleepless call center agents, and you begin to wonder, all this in the same country? The flip side of disunity is diversity, and it takes a writer of Karl De Mesa's versatility to capture it in all its riotous glory."e; - HOWIE SEVERINO, news anchor, journo icon

Download or read book Japanese American Resettlement Through the Lens written by Lane Ryo Hirabayashi and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Japanese American Resettlement through the Lens, Lane Ryo Hirabayashi gathers a unique collection of photographs by War Relocation Authority photographer Hikaru Iwasaki, the only full-time WRA photographer from the period still living. With substantive focus on resettlement - and in particular Iwasaki's photos of Japanese Americans following their release from WRA camps from 1943 to 1945 - Hirabayashi explores the WRA's use of photography in its mission not only to encourage "loyal" Japanese Americans to return to society at large as quickly as possible but also to convince Euro-Americans this was safe and advantageous. Hirabayashi also assesses the relative success of the WRA project, as well as the multiple uses of the photographs over time, first by the WRA and then by students, scholars, and community members in the present day. Although the photos have been used to illustrate a number of publications, this book is the first sustained treatment addressing questions directly related to official WRA photographs. How and under what conditions were they taken? Where were they developed, selected, and stored? How were they used during the 1940s? What impact did they have during and following the war? By focusing on the WRA's Photographic Section, Japanese American Resettlement through the Lens makes a unique contribution to the body of literature on Japanese Americans during World War II.
