What Is In A Rim? Critical Perspectives On The Pacific Region Idea

What Is In A Rim? Critical Perspectives On The Pacific Region Idea

In this volume scholars question the current euphoria over the rapid growth of the Pacific rim - as an economic region and as a political ideal. They suggest that much of the discourse on the region is highly ideological focusing on its potential for capitalist development while ignoring the limitations of such development its human costs and consequences. This critique of the idea of a Pacific rim also seeks to redress the balance by focusing on the region in terms of human interactions. | What Is In A Rim?

Indian Ocean Regionalism

Indian Ocean Regionalism

Pan-regional constructions in the Indian Ocean are of relatively recent origin are contested and remain relatively weak at present. Sub-regional constructions on the other hand have tended to be more focussed especially in terms of security and have generally been more successful. The principal purpose of this volume is to critically evaluate the debates surrounding these issues and to elucidate some of the main strengths and weaknesses of regionalism at both scales. The discussion begins at the pan-regional scale with an evaluation of pan-regional contestation followed up by a chapter on the main pan-regional grouping – Indian Ocean Region-Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) – which was renamed Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) in 2013. Thereafter key examples of sub-regional groupings – South Asia ASEAN SADC and GCC – are critically discussed in turn. The principal readership for this volume will be: scholars of geography politics and international relations; students of Indian Ocean studies; regionalism experts; bureaucrats and politicians both within and outside the Indian Ocean Region who wish to gain insights into Indian Ocean matters; scholars who appreciate a view of regional relations ‘from the inside’. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region. | Indian Ocean Regionalism

The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

Incorporating published and archival material this volume fills an important gap in the history of the Jewish experience during World War II describing how the war affected Jews living along the southern rim of the Mediterranean and the Levant from Morocco to Iran. Surviving the Nazi slaughter did not mean that Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa were unaffected by the war: there was constant anti-Semitic propaganda and general economic deprivation; communities were bombed; and Jews suffered because of the anti-Semitic Vichy regulations that left them unemployed homeless and subject to forced labor and deportation to labor camps. Nevertheless they fought for the Allies and assisted the Americans and the British in the invasion of North Africa. These men and women were community leaders and average people who despite their dire economic circumstances worked with the refugees attempting to escape the Nazis via North Africa Turkey or Iran and connected with international aid agencies during and after the war. By 1945 no Jewish community had been left untouched and many were financially decimated a situation that would have serious repercussions on the future of Jews in the region. Covering the entire Middle East and North Africa region this book on World War II is a key resource for students scholars and general readers interested in Jewish history World War II and Middle East history. | The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa The Impact of World War II

Transpacific Americas Encounters and Engagements Between the Americas and the South Pacific

Transpacific Americas Encounters and Engagements Between the Americas and the South Pacific

This volume explores cultural social and economic connections between the Americas and the South Pacific. It reaches beyond Sino-American collaborations to focus on rather neglected and sometimes invisible Southern linkages asking how these connections originated and have developed over time which local responses they have generated and what impact these processes have in the region in terms of representational forms and strategies new cultural practices and empowerment of individuals in (post)colonial contexts. The volume also compares and contrasts intriguing parallels of politics and identity formation. By extending the focus beyond East Asia to the Southern Pacific region including Island connections with the Americas the volume provides a more comprehensive understanding of recent dynamics and shifting relations across the Pacific. By approaching the Transpacific Americas as an assemblage or relational space which is created and becomes meaningful through multiple localities and their translocal connections the book complicates the Euro-American distinction between centre and rim. While the collection offers a distinctive geographical focus it simultaneously emphasizes the translocal qualities of specific locations through their entanglements in transpacific assemblages within and across cultural social and economic spheres. Furthermore without neglecting the inextricable historical dimension of anthropological perspectives the focus is on the diverse and unexpected contemporary forms of cultural social and economic encounters and engagements and on (re)emerging Indigenous networks. Primarily based on empirical research the volume explores face-to-face encounters relations from below and transcultural interactions and relationships in as well as ideas and conceptualizations of cultural spaces across localities that have long been perceived as separate but are indeed closely interconnected. | Transpacific Americas Encounters and Engagements Between the Americas and the South Pacific
