T. E. WORONOV

Images o Chinese teens with theirheads buried in books, preparing orexams, dominate understandings oChinese youth, both in China and inthe West. But what happens to thosewho don’t pass their exams—up to halo China’s youth?

Class Work examines this orgot-ten hal ’s trajectory through twourban vocational schools in Nanjing,China. Exploring the students’backgrounds, experiences, school-ing, and their trajectories into theworkorce, . E. Woronov exploresthe value systems in contemporaryChina that stigmatize youth in urban vocational schools as “ailures,” andthe political and economic structuresthat unnel them into working-class

utures. Class Work argues that urban vocational schools are not merely“holding tanks” or academic ailures;they are sites or the ormation o anew working class to populate China’srapidly transorming post-industrial,service-based economies.

Decentering Citizenship

Decentering Citizenship ollows threegroups o Filipina migrants’ strugglesto belong in South Korea: actoryworkers claiming rights as workers,wives o South Korean men claimingrights as mothers, and hostesses atAmerican military clubs who areexcluded rom claims—unless they

claim to be victims o trafficking.Moving beyond laws and policies, HaeYeon Choo examines how rights areenacted, translated, and challenged indaily lie and ultimately interrogatesthe concept o citizenship.

Choo reveals citizenship as a languageo social and personal transormationwithin the pursuit o dignity, security,and mobility. Her vivid ethnography oboth migrants and their South Korean

advocates illuminates how socialinequalities o gender, race, class, andnation operate in defining citizenship.Decentering Citizenship argues thatcitizenship emerges rom negotiationsabout rights and belonging betweenSouth Koreans and migrants. As thepromise o equal rights and ull mem-bership in a polity erodes in the aceo global inequalities, this decenteringilluminates important contestation atthe margins o citizenship.

Global Talent

Skilled Labor as Social Capitalin KoreaGI-WOOK SHIN AND JOON NAK CHOI

Global alent seeks to examine the util-ity o skilled oreigners beyond theirhuman capital value by ocusing ontheir social capital potential, especiallytheir role as transnational bridgesbetween host and home countries.

Gi-Wook Shin and Joon Nak Choi

empirically demonstrate their thesisby examining the case o Korea: a statearchetypical o those that have beenembracing economic globalizationwhile acing a demographic crisis—and one where the dominant narrativeon the recruitment o skilled oreignersis largely negative. Tey reveal theunique benefits that oreign studentsand proessionals can provide to Koreaby enhancing Korean firms’ competi-tiveness in the global marketplace and

by generating new jobs or Koreancitizens rather than taking them away.Further, they offer insights that extendwell beyond the Korean experience.

Stretcher-Bearer o EmpireASHWIN DESAI AND GOOLAM VAHED

Te South African Gandhi ocuses onGandhi’s first leadership experiencesin South Arica and the complicatedman they reveal—a man who actuallysupported the British Empire. AshwinDesai and Goolam Vahed unveil a manwho, throughout his stay on Aricansoil, stayed true to Empire while show-ing a disdain or Aricans. For Gandhi,

whites and Indians were bonded byan Aryan bloodline that had no placeor the Arican. Gandhi’s racism wasmatched by his class prejudice towardsthe Indian indentured. He persistentlyclaimed that they were ignorant andneeded his leadership, and he wrotetheir resistances and compromises insurviving a brutal labor regime outo history. Te South African Gandhi writes the indentured and working classback into history.

Tis meticulously researched bookpunctures the dominant narrative oGandhi and uncovers an ambiguousfigure whose time on Arican soil wasmarked by a desire to seek the integra-tion o Indians, minus many basicrights, into the white body politic whilesimultaneously excluding Aricans romhis moral compass and political ideals.

TOWNSEND MIDDLETON

Since the British colonial period,anthropology has been central topolicy in India. But today, those whowere the “objects” o study are harness-ing disciplinary knowledge to redefinetheir communities, achieve greaterprosperity, and secure political rights.

In this groundbreaking study,ownsend Middleton tracks thesenewound “lives” o anthropology.Offering simultaneous ethnographieso the people o Darjeeling’s quest or“tribal” status and the governmentanthropologists handling their claims,Middleton exposes how minoritiesare—and are not—recognized oraffirmative action and autonomy. Atonce ethnographic and historical,

this book chronicles how multicul-tural governance has motivated thepeople o Darjeeling to ethnologicallyredefine themselves—rom Gorkhato tribal and back. But as these com-munities now know, not all ormso difference are legible in the eyeso the state. Te Gorkhas’ searchor recognition has only amplifiedthese communities’ anxieties aboutwho they are—and who they mustbe—i they are to attain the rights,

The Slow Boil

Street Food, Rights, and PublicSpace in MumbaiJONATHAN SHAPIRO ANJARIA

Street ood vendors are both a symboland a scourge o Mumbai: cheaproadside snacks are enjoyed by all,but the people who make them danceon a razor’s edge o legality. Whileneighborhood associations want the vendors off cluttered sidewalks, manyMumbaikers appreciate the convenient

bargains they offer. In Te Slow Boil ,Jonathan Shapiro Anjaria draws on hislong-term fieldwork with these ven-dors to make sense o the paradoxeswithin the city and, thus, to create abetter understanding o urban spacein general.

Much urban studies literature paintsstreet vendors as oppressed and mar-ginalized victims. In contrast, Anjariaacknowledges that diverse political,

economic, historic, and symbolicprocesses create contradictions inthe vendors’ everday lives, like theirillegality and proximity to the state,and their insecurity and permanence.Mumbai’s disorderly sidewalks reflectthe simmering tensions over liveli-hood, democracy, and rights that arecentral to the city but have long beenoverlooked. In Te Slow Boil , theseissues are not subsumed into a largerramework, but are explored on their

own terms.224 pages, May 20169780804799379 Paper $25.95 $20.76 sale

Photography for Everyone

Te Cultural Lives o Cameras andConsumers in Early wentieth-Century JapanKERRY ROSS

Te Japanese passion or photographyis almost a cliché, but how didit begin? Tis book is the first todemonstrate how photography becamean everyday activity in Japan.

Kerry Ross examines the magazines

and merchandise promoted toordinary Japanese people in the earlytwentieth century that allowed con-sumers to participate in that liestyleand to define its contours. Rossdiscusses different acets o this phe-nomenon, rom the revolution in retailcamera shops, to socially constructivehow-to manuals and the vocabularyo popular aesthetics that developedrom enthusiasts sharing photos. Rosslooks at the quotidian activities that

went into the entire picture-makingprocess, such as shopping or a camera,reading photography magazines,and even preserving one’s pictures inalbums. Tese activities embeddedthe camera in everyday lie as botha consumer object and a technologyor understanding modernity, mak-ing it the irresistible enterprise thatEastman encountered in whenhe remarked that the Japanese peoplewere “almost as addicted to the Kodak

habit as ourselves.”256 pages, 20159780804795647 Paper $24.95 $19.96 sale

Protests Against U.S.

Military Base Policy in AsiaPersuasion and Its LimitsYUKO KAWATO

Since the end o World War II, protestsagainst U.S. military basing and relatedpolicies have occurred in several Asianhost countries that are key U.S. allies.Tese protests are a matter o consider-able concern to the United States asit attempts to project power acrossa world in which its basing policies

remain highly contentious. Manyepisodes o contention raise importantquestions about the extent to whichprotests have and will influence policyregarding U.S. military bases in Asia.Yuko Kawato answers these questionsby examining state response to twelvemajor protests in Asia since the endo World War II—in the Philippines,Okinawa, and South Korea. Kawatolays out the conditions under whichprotesters’ normative arguments can

and cannot persuade policy-makers tochange base policy, and how protestscan still generate some political ormilitary incentives or policy-makersto adjust policy when persuasionails. He also shows that when policy-makers decide not to change policy,they can offer symbolic concessions toappear norm-abiding and to secure asmoother implementation o policiesthat protesters oppose.

PLA Influence on China’s

National SecurityPolicymakingEDITED BY PHILLIP C. SAUNDERS

AND ANDREW SCOBELL

In recent years there have been reportso actions purportedly taken byPeople’s Liberation Army (PLA) unitswithout civilian authorization, ando Chinese Communist Party (CCP)civilian leaders seeking to curry avorwith the military—suggesting that a

nationalistic and increasingly influ-ential PLA is driving more assertiveChinese policies on a range o militaryand sovereignty issues. o manyexperienced PLA watchers however,the PLA remains a “party-army” that isresponsive to orders rom the CCP.

Tis volume seeks to assess the “real”relationship between the PLA and itscivilian masters by moving beyondmedia and pundit speculation to

mount an in-depth examinationand explanation o the PLA’s role innational security policy-making. Teevidence reveals that today’s PLAdoes appear to have more influenceon purely military issues than inthe past—but much less influenceon political issues—and to be moreactively engaged in policy debateson mixed civil-military issues wheremilitary equities are at stake.

The Supply Side of Security

A Market Teory o Military Alliances

TONGFI KIM

Te Supply Side of Security conceptual-izes military alliances as contracts orexchanging goods and services. Atthe international level, the market orthese contracts is shaped by how manycountries can supply security.

ongfi Kim identifies the supply o

policy concessions and military commit-ments as the main actors that explainthe bargaining power o a state in apotential or existing alliance. Addition-ally, three variables o a state’s domesticpolitics significantly affect its negotiat-ing power: whether there is strongdomestic opposition to the alliance,whether the state’s leader is pro-alliance,and whether that leader is vulnerable.Kim then looks beyond existing allianceliterature, which ocuses on threats,

to produce a deductive theory basedon analysis o how the global powerstructure and domestic politics affectalliances.

Contested Embrace

ransborder Membership Politicsin wentieth-Century Korea

JAEEUN KIM

Scholars have long examined the rela-tionship between nation-states and their“internal others,” such as immigrants andethno-racial minorities. Contested Em-brace shifs the analytic ocus to explorehow a state relates to people it views as“external members” such as emigrantsand diasporas. Specifically, Jaeeun Kim

analyzes disputes over the belonging oKoreans in Japan and China, ocusingon their contested relationship with thecolonial and postcolonial states in theKorean peninsula.

Extending the constructivist approach tonationalisms and the culturalist view othe modern state to a transnational con-text, Contested Embrace illuminates thepolitical and bureaucratic construction oethno-national populations beyond the

territorial boundary o the state. Trougha comparative analysis o transbordermembership politics in the colonial,Cold War, and post-Cold War periods,the book shows how the configurationo geopolitics, bureaucratic techniques,and actors’ agency shapes the making,unmaking, and remaking o transborderties. Kim demonstrates that being a“homeland” state or a member o the“transborder nation” is a precarious, ardu-ous, and revocable political achievement.

The Colonial Origins of

Ethnic Violence in IndiaAJAY VERGHESE

Te neighboring north Indian districtso Jaipur and Ajmer are identical inlanguage, geography, and religiousand caste demography. But when theamous Babri Mosque in Ayodhya wasdestroyed in , Jaipur burned whileAjmer remained peaceul; when thestate clashed over low-caste affirma-tive action quotas in , Ajmer’s

residents rioted while Jaipur’s citizensstayed calm. What explains thesedivergent patterns o ethnic conflictacross multiethnic states? Usingarchival research and elite interviewsin five case studies spanning north,south, and east India, as well as aquantitative analysis o districts,Ajay Verghese shows that the legacieso British colonialism drive contempo-rary conflict.

Because India served as a model orBritish colonial expansion into partso Arica and Southeast Asia, thisproject links Indian ethnic conflict to violent outcomes across an array omultiethnic states, including cases asdiverse as Nigeria and Malaysia. TeColonial Origins of Ethnic Violence inIndia makes important contributionsto the study o Indian politics, ethnic-ity, conflict, and historical legacies.
