Paperback. Condizione: Fair. In the late nineteenth century the borderlands between the United States, the British Empire in Canada, and the Asia-Pacific Rim emerged as a crossroads of the Pacific world. In Pacific Connections, Kornel Chang tells the dramatic stories of the laborers, merchants, smugglers, and activists who crossed these borders into the twentieth century, and the American and British empire-builders who countered them by hardening racial and national lines.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A poignant return to Korea's forgotten "Asian Spring"-a moment ripe with possibility denied by the postwar US military occupation. When Japanese imperial rule ended in August 1945, the Korean peninsula erupted with hopes of freedom, independence, and equality. Workers threw themselves into union activism and took control of factories. Peasants occupied formerly Japanese-owned farmlands, and women demanded a level playing field, politically and economically. A Fractured Liberation brings to vivid life the brief but intense moment in postwar Korea when anything seemed possible, but nothing was guaranteed. The country had been abruptly split into US and Soviet military occupation zones, but, as Kornel Chang shows, activists sought self-governance throughout a unified Korea. These mostly left-leaning efforts were bolstered by American supporters, including New Deal liberals, Christian socialists, and trade unionists. The Koreans' greatest obstacle, however, proved to be the rigidly anti-communist US military government in the south, which curbed protests and muzzled reformers. As concern over the Cold War's superpower rivalry overshadowed local democratic aspirations, the United States narrowed the possibilities for Korean independence, helping to cement the North-South divide and ensure decades of authoritarian rule on both sides. After liberation in 1945, Koreans erupted with hopes for reform that had been bottled up during forty years of Japanese imperial rule. Arguing that permanent North-South division was far from inevitable, Kornel Chang explores the movement for a unified Korean social democracy and its suppression by anticommunist US military authorities. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A poignant return to Korea's forgotten "Asian Spring"-a moment ripe with possibility denied by the postwar US military occupation. When Japanese imperial rule ended in August 1945, the Korean peninsula erupted with hopes that had been bottled up for forty years. New mother Chon SukhuXXXXXi marveled at the news, envisioning her son growing up free in an independent Korea. Yi Ilchae, who only days before had been drafted into the Japanese army, threw himself into union activism. An electrifying excitement jolted Koreans into action everywhere. Peasants occupied Japanese-owned farmlands, workers seized control of factories, and women demanded political and economic equality. A Fractured Liberation brings to vivid life the brief but intense moment in postwar Korea when anything seemed possible, but nothing was guaranteed. The country had been abruptly split into US and Soviet military occupation zones, but, as Kornel Chang shows, ordinary people threw themselves into achieving self-governance throughout a unified Korea. The mostly left-leaning efforts were bolstered by an eclectic group of American supporters, including New Deal liberals, Christian socialists, and trade unionists. The Koreans' greatest obstacle, however, proved to be the US military government in the south and its rigidly anti-communist leadership. Despite promising liberation from the hated Japanese-imposed institutions, the US occupation government under General John R. Hodge hired back Koreans who had worked for the Japanese to do the dirty work of curbing protests and muzzling reformers. As concern over the budding superpower rivalry with the Soviet Union overshadowed the Koreans' democratic aspirations, the United States increasingly narrowed the possibilities for Korean independence, helping to cement the North-South divide and ensure decades of authoritarian rule on both sides.
