Japan - Jeff Kingston - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Japan - Jeff Kingston - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Japan, anchored by its traditions, transformed by American post-war Occupation, and globally recognized for its technological innovations, manufacturing prowess, and pop culture, faces powerful challenges from within and without. How Japan chooses to handle these problems and opportunities will determine its future for decades to come. In this book, Jeff Kingston - one of the most lucid analysts of Japan today - takes readers on a fascinating journey through this country's contemporary history, exploring the key developments and forces, both at home and abroad, that are shaping Japan in the twenty-first century. Whether Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's transformative agenda of "Abenomics" and "proactive pacifism" toward a rising China and a belligerent North Korea can set Japan on the path to greater prosperity and security remains to be seen. But having won a third term as president of the Liberal Democratic Party in 2018, Japan's ongoing transformation is very much in Abe's hands.

Bob Marley - Jason Toynbee - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Bob Marley - Jason Toynbee - Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Is Bob Marley the only third world superstar? How did he achieve this unique status? In this captivating new study of one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century, Jason Toynbee sheds new light on issues such as Marley''s contribution as a musician and public intellectual, how he was granted access to the global media system, and what his music means in cultural and political terms. Tracing Marley''s life and work from Jamaica to the world stage, Toynbee suggests that we need to understand Marley first and foremost as a ''social author''. Trained in the co-operative yet also highly competitive musical laboratory of downtown Kingston, Marley went on to translate reggae into a successful international style. His crowning achievement was to mix postcolonial anger and hope with Jamaican textures and beats to produce the first world music. However the period since his death has been marked by brutal and intensifying inequality in the capitalist world system. There is an urgent need, then, to reconsider the nature of his legacy. Toynbee does this in the concluding chapters, weighing Marley''s impact as advocate of human emancipation against his marginalisation as a ''Natural Mystic'' and pretext for disengagement from radical politics.
