<DIV>Since the Korean War—the forgotten war—more than a million Korean women have acted as sex workers for U.S. servicemen. More than 100,000 women married GIs and moved to the United States. Through intellectual vigor and personal recollection, Haunting the Korean Diaspora explores the repressed history of emotional and physical violence between the United States and Korea and the unexamined reverberations of sexual relationships between Korean women and American soldiers.

Grace M. Cho exposes how Koreans in the United States have been profoundly affected by the forgotten war and uncovers the silences and secrets that still surround it, arguing that trauma memories have been passed unconsciously through a process psychoanalysts call “transgenerational haunting.” Tracing how such secrets have turned into “ghosts,” Cho investigates the mythic figure of the yanggongju, literally the “Western princess,” who provides sexual favors to American military personnel. She reveals how this figure haunts both the intimate realm of memory and public discourse, in which narratives of U.S. benevolence abroad and assimilation of immigrants at home go unchallenged. Memories of U.S. violence, Cho writes, threaten to undo these narratives—and so they have been rendered unspeakable.

At once political and deeply personal, Cho’s wide-ranging and innovative analysis of U.S. neocolonialism and militarism under contemporary globalization brings forth a new way of understanding—and remembering—the impact of the Korean War. </DIV>

For over 140 years, so far, publications originating in East Asia have been assembled in libraries in the U.S. and Canada in ways that until fairly recently were independent of one another. Early catalog-card distribution by the U. S. Library of Congress, along with printed library catalogs, did allow for the distribution of information about publications and library holdings. But until the internet drastically altered how information was created and shared, academic libraries developed nearly autonomously, relying heavily on publishers, faculty, and graduate students to alert librarians to lacunae in their collections. Libraries still do that to some extent, but accepting libraries as stand-alone institutions within larger institutions is obsolete thinking.
And yet, all collections are unique in the ways they were developed, in the stories of the people who built them, and in their idiosyncrasies. All of that is recorded in this volume and is supplemented by copious notes and bibliographies and many visual images of texts, libraries, and the personalities, some quite unusual, who have had lasting influences on the libraries that no doubt also had lasting influences on them.
The genesis of this collection of essays on the histories of the 25 oldest East Asian libraries in North America is explained by the editor in his preface:
The idea of publishing a volume on the history of East Asian collections in the United States and Canada over the past 140 years came about in October 2007, when the head of more than twenty East Asian libraries met at the University of California, Berkeley, for a two-day symposium on the topic. The event coincided with the dedication of the university’s newly completed C. V. Starr East Asian Library and Chang-Lin Tien Center for East Asian Studies, the first library building ever constructed in North America specifically to house an East Asian collection. [p. xi]
The historical essays in this volume are presented in the chronological order in which the East Asian collections are considered to have been established, although real dates of “founding” might be open to interpretation.
One of the delights that the editor and the designers created is a whole page image, opposite the dedication statement, of photos of some of the librarians who were instrumental in founding or expanding individual collections, librarians such as Gussie Gaskill (Cornell), Kaiming Chiu and Eugene Wu (Harvard-Yenching), Naomi Fukuda (Michigan), Elizabeth Huff (California-Berkeley), T. H. Tsien (Chicago), Mary Wright (Hoover Institution, Stanford), Kan’ichi Asakawa (Yale) and other iconic figures who led the development of major collections.
A chronology of the development of the twenty-five East Asian collections highlighted in this collection precedes the text, as does a timeline of East Asian history. Appendix A lists major East Asian Collections in North American institutions in alphabetical order with information on the size of their holdings as of June 2008; and a ranking list, by size of collections, of those libraries. Appendix B lists the acquisitions budgets of each of the collections. The book, which is indexed, is available from the Association for Asian Studies (www.asian-studies.org). The chapter titles and the text authors are listed below.

五天，一群中國少年，十個會議
當他們開始自治，將會走向獨裁，還是民主？

　　「我前所未有地貪生怕死。必須立即把這個故事寫出來，不然死不瞑目。」——寇延丁

　　人性可能殘忍，卻也可以向善。
　　只要方向正確，《蒼蠅王》或《惡魔教室》那樣的恐怖，就不會發生。

　　這是一場深具啟發的民主實驗，足以提供臺灣社會對照、反省、深化民主素養的契機。

　　二○一六年夏天，一群來自中國城市中產階級、長期固定到邊遠地區擔任慈善志工的家長，帶著他們的孩子，總共十個少年，一同到貴州進行那年的支邊公益行動。同行的還有一位議事規則專家，以及寇延丁。

　　在這趟旅程中，大人們事先說好了：教孩子們議事規則，讓他們自己開會自治，大人盡可能不加干涉。

　　這群生活在中國大城市，從來沒有接觸過民主社會議事規則、沒有自治觀念的孩子們，真的能夠用開會達成共識，經營團體生活，達成志工任務嗎？這本書就記錄了這趟宛若寓言的旅程。這群孩子們是如何做決策，並且自我管理？而在這個過程中，有著過度保護傾向的大人，是否也學會放手，尊重孩子的決定？

　　在這趟旅程的最終，孩子和父母都在其中獲得意想不到的體悟。當年參與的孩子，許多目前已經在國外讀大學，第一手接觸西方的民主，也成為世界公民，他們將如何回看中國，以及思索中國與世界良性互動的機會？或許，未來可能由此催生出一些不同於官方的清新聲音。

　　作者寇延丁以其長期關注中國公民社會發展的眼光，充滿驚奇與感動地觀察了這一趟孩子的民主實驗之旅。這個歷程，既讓她一定程度拾回剛從獄中被釋放後受傷的身心，重新對人性、對「活的」、「可操作的」民主在中國發展感到樂觀；但其後幾年，潛伏的悲觀也愈來愈難以忽視，與此對抗、對話，需要莫大的強壯意志、勇氣、理性與行動力，而她也將這些得之不易的際遇、心靈與能量，作為贈與臺灣讀者的禮物。

　　而對臺灣讀者來說，本書更是個契機，民主在臺灣雖已不需要啟蒙，卻需要不斷反省與深化，履踐「真正做自己的主人」的價值與意義。屬於臺灣的民主實驗，更需要所有世代共同投入。

　　「中國人能不能民主？未來會好嗎？民主在中國有未來嗎？說一千道一萬不如動手一試。你說「中國人素質太差不適合民主」，你說你的我做我的，實際做案例就好啦。只要有一個案例成立，這種全面否定邏輯就不成立。」——寇延丁

It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware.
But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Today, Chinese characters are described as a national treasure, the core of the nation’s civilizational identity. Yet for nearly half of the twentieth century, reformers waged war on the Chinese script. They declared it an archaic hindrance to modernization, portraying the ancient system of writing as a roadblock to literacy and therefore science and democracy. Movements spanning the political spectrum proposed abandonment of characters and alphabetization of Chinese writing, although in the end the Communist Party opted for character simplification.
Chinese Grammatology traces the origins, transmutations, and containment of this script revolution to provide a groundbreaking account of its formative effects on Chinese literature and culture, and lasting implications for the encounter between the alphabetic and nonalphabet worlds. Yurou Zhong explores the growth of competing Romanization and Latinization movements aligned with the clashing Nationalists and Communists. She finds surprising affinities between alphabetic reform and modern Chinese literary movements and examines the politics of literacy programs and mass education against the backdrop of war and revolution. Zhong places the Chinese script revolution in the global context of a phonocentric dominance that privileges phonetic writing, contending that the eventual retention of characters constituted an anti-ethnocentric, anti-imperial critique that coincided with postwar decolonization movements and predated the emergence of Deconstructionism. By revealing the consequences of one of the biggest linguistic experiments in history, Chinese Grammatology provides an ambitious rethinking of the origins of Chinese literary modernity and the politics of the science of writing.

明建文四年，燕王朱棣攻陷南京，從姪兒建文帝手中奪得皇位，成為後世所知的明成祖。這場戰爭不僅扭轉了大明帝國的發展方向，更使建文朝相關議題成為一種禁忌，仿如暗影般籠罩整個明代，既困擾著成祖以降的歷任統治者及其臣民，也深刻影響了明代政治、社會、文化的運作和發展。
從永樂到南明，明代的官方與民間如何記述建文朝？本書嘗試探討明人對建文朝的歷史記憶，隨著時間推移如何被形塑、操縱、延續和遺忘，及其於不斷演變下呈現的樣貌與時代特色。曾被政治力量壓制的歷史記憶，其復甦與再續從來都不只是單純因為「人民永不遺忘」，而牽涉種種當代的現實需求及所欲突破的困境。隨著官方控制力的減弱，許多聲音逐漸加入這個「搶救」與「修正」該段歷史的場域，而各方角力的勝敗消長，其實也是明人認知自身處境、建立自我認同的深層反映。

A detailed historical look at how copyright was negotiated and protected by authors, publishers, and the state in late imperial and modern China
In Pirates and Publishers, Fei-Hsien Wang reveals the unknown social and cultural history of copyright in China from the 1890s through the 1950s, a time of profound sociopolitical changes. Wang draws on a vast range of previously underutilized archival sources to show how copyright was received, appropriated, and practiced in China, within and beyond the legal institutions of the state. Contrary to common belief, copyright was not a problematic doctrine simply imposed on China by foreign powers with little regard for Chinese cultural and social traditions. Shifting the focus from the state legislation of copyright to the daily, on-the-ground negotiations among Chinese authors, publishers, and state agents, Wang presents a more dynamic, nuanced picture of the encounter between Chinese and foreign ideas and customs.
Developing multiple ways for articulating their understanding of copyright, Chinese authors, booksellers, and publishers played a crucial role in its growth and eventual institutionalization in China. These individuals enforced what they viewed as copyright to justify their profit, protect their books, and crack down on piracy in a changing knowledge economy. As China transitioned from a late imperial system to a modern state, booksellers and publishers created and maintained their own economic rules and regulations when faced with the absence of an effective legal framework.
Exploring how copyright was transplanted, adopted, and practiced, Pirates and Publishers demonstrates the pivotal roles of those who produce and circulate knowledge.

“A lively survey of today’s China as seen by [its] brooding intellectuals. A terrific book.” –Nicholas D. Kristof, New York Times Book Review Chinese intellectuals have a traditional duty, for which there is no equivalent in the West: to worry, to "take responsibility for all under heaven,” to argue the question "What can we do with China?" In this “utterly absorbing gem of a book” ( Library Journal ), Perry Link conveys the worries besetting China’s most prominent writers, journalists, scientists, professors, and dissident officials. Link creates “an invaluable opening onto China’s best and brightest hearts and minds” ( Kirkus Reviews ), allowing the Chinese themselves to tell us why Beijing took to the streets in Spring 1989.

In 2012, an Oregon mother named Julie Keith opened up a package of Halloween decorations. The cheap foam headstones had been five dollars at Kmart, too good a deal to pass up. But when she opened the box, something shocking fell out: an SOS letter, handwritten in broken English.
  “Sir: If you occassionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization. Thousands people here who are under the persicuton of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever.”
The note’s author, Sun Yi, was a mild-mannered Chinese engineer turned political prisoner, forced into grueling labor for campaigning for the freedom to join a forbidden meditation movement. He was imprisoned alongside petty criminals, civil rights activists, and tens of thousands of others the Chinese government had decided to “reeducate,” carving foam gravestones and stitching clothing for more than fifteen hours a day.

In Made in China , investigative journalist Amelia Pang pulls back the curtain on Sun’s story and the stories of others like him, including the persecuted Uyghur minority group whose abuse and exploitation is rapidly gathering steam. What she reveals is a closely guarded network of laogai—forced labor camps—that power the rapid pace of American consumerism. Through extensive interviews and firsthand reportage, Pang shows us the true cost of America’s cheap goods and shares what is ultimately a call to action—urging us to ask more questions and demand more answers from the companies we patronize.

◆
以清晰的學者之思，流暢的記者之筆
透過說故事的方式，完整解答越南史
──日本越南史專家小倉貞男的畢生代表之作！
■最陌生的鄰居：越南
說到越南，你（妳）會想到什麼？是風光旖旎的下龍灣、古色古香的順化皇城？還是價格實惠又美味的越南河粉、法式麵包？台灣和越南隔著南海遙遙相望，台北飛河內，只不過兩個小時。可是，即使兩者的地理位置如此接近，台灣人對越南史恐怕仍是一知半解。其實，台灣和越南有非常多的共通點：兩者都受到中國制度和文化的深遠影響，也都曾身為列強的殖民地而邁入現代化，最重要的是，兩者都在追求自我認同的道路上勇往直前。
日本學者小倉貞男曾長期擔任《讀賣新聞》西貢（今胡志明市）特派員，第一線觀察越南社會數十年來的脈動與變遷，甚至親身經歷越戰；可謂窮盡他一生心血的代表之作——《半島之龍》，以清晰的學者之思，流暢的記者之筆，透過說故事的方式，完整解答越南史。
小倉貞男以「A、B」兩軸建構出一部完整的越南史：「A軸」是指越南和中國長達一千年的互動歷史；「B軸」則是指越南脫離中國統治後，躍上世界舞臺，與其他國家互動的另一段千年史。唯有正確地理解「A、B」兩軸的脈絡，才能完整地明白越南何以成為今日的越南。
■A軸：越南中國，一邊一國！
越南史的第一個千年，不得不提它和中國的牽扯糾葛；而這一切，得從漢帝國說起。自從漢帝國征服趙佗所建立的南越王國後，越南便受到中國長達千年的高壓統治。與此同時，中國也向越南輸入官僚體制、漢字、儒家等文化，企圖把越南打造成東南亞版的「小中華」。但越南人民對於自身文化的高度認同，使他們意識到越南從來就不是中國的一部分。另外，由於派駐在越南的中國官員長年貪汙腐敗，導致越南人頻頻揭竿起義，其中更有深具越南特色的女性所主導的抗爭，例如「徵氏姊妹」、趙嫗等人所領導的反抗。
越南史上有三次著名的白藤江之戰，即分別發生於九三八年的越南（吳朝）對抗中國的南漢政權、九八一年的越南（前黎朝）對抗宋帝國，以及一二八八年的越南（陳朝）對抗蒙古帝國，三次戰爭最後都以越南勝利告終。面對來自北方的中國大軍和蒙古鐵騎壓境，為何越南人總是能以寡擊眾？關鍵在於越南朝廷和人民同仇敵愾，團結一致。小倉貞男指出，中國對越南長達千年的壓迫，不只意外地形塑了越南人的民族認同，更成為日後越南對抗帝國主義、追求自由與認同的原動力。
■B軸：與東南亞王國和法國的互動，形塑今日的越南
身為東南亞文化圈的一部分，脫離中國壓力的越南，還得面對其他東南亞王國的挑戰，例如當時雄霸一方的真臘、老撾、素可泰等（即今天的柬埔寨、寮國和泰國）。雖然它們彼此兵戎相向、爭奪土地，但更多是商貿往來和文化交流。越南有自己獨特的村落共同體，管理村落的是「長老評議會」，而「竹垣之內不受君令」、「水田屬皇帝，寺院歸村落」等說法彰顯出越南獨有的東南亞式的制度文化。正是在「南進」的過程中，越南吸收了其他國家的文化精隨，創造出今日豐富的越南文化，更形塑了今日的國家雛形。
十九世紀清法戰爭之後，越南從此切斷了和中國的「藩屬」關係，變成法國的殖民地。法國傳教士亞歷山德羅所創造的越南語拉丁字，更成為今日越南國字的基礎。法國殖民時期，正好也是越南在傳統與現代之間掙扎和調試的轉型期。為了抵抗法國統治，越南的知識分子們百般嘗試，有採取武裝游擊抗法的潘廷逢、黃花探等人，也有主張在體制內和平抗爭的潘周楨；而「最後的皇族」保大帝、「東遊運動」潘佩珠、「越南國父」胡志明、「紅色拿破崙」武元甲等人的傳奇故事，也在這般動盪的年代裡流傳開來，至今仍膾炙人口。
■對台灣來說，越南很重要！
翻開《半島之龍》，會發現這是一段越南人民團結起來、抵抗外侮的壯闊史詩，也是一本以東南亞文化的脈絡而解釋越南何以成為越南的佳作。小倉貞男透過講述精彩人物故事的方式，完整描述了在漢字世界裡覺得錯綜複雜、充滿誤解和不屑的越南史，並且解答越南人柔韌不屈的民族性是如何形塑而成。
最重要的是，越南和台灣一樣，都因為地緣因素，更多收到中國型制度文化的影響，也必須正視和中國的互動關係。而台灣或許能從越南對抗中國、追求自主的千年歷史中，獲得寶貴的啟發和共鳴。

Just as she did with North Korea, award-winning journalist Barbara Demick explores one of the most hidden corners of the world. She tells the story of a Tibetan town perched eleven thousand feet above sea level that is one of the most difficult places in all of China for foreigners to visit. Ngaba was one of the first places where the Tibetans and the Chinese Communists encountered one another. In the 1930s, Mao Zedong’s Red Army fled into the Tibetan plateau to escape their adversaries in the Chinese Civil War. By the time the soldiers reached Ngaba, they were so hungry that they looted monasteries and ate religious statues made of flour and butter—to Tibetans, it was as if they were eating the Buddha. Their experiences would make Ngaba one of the engines of Tibetan resistance for decades to come, culminating in shocking acts of self-immolation.

spans decades of modern Tibetan and Chinese history, as told through the private lives of Demick’s subjects, among them a princess whose family is wiped out during the Cultural Revolution, a young Tibetan nomad who becomes radicalized in the storied monastery of Kirti, an upwardly mobile entrepreneur who falls in love with a Chinese woman, a poet and intellectual who risks everything to voice his resistance, and a Tibetan schoolgirl forced to choose at an early age between her family and the elusive lure of Chinese money. All of them face the same dilemma: Do they resist the Chinese, or do they join them? Do they adhere to Buddhist teachings of compassion and nonviolence, or do they fight?

Illuminating a culture that has long been romanticized by Westerners as deeply spiritual and peaceful, Demick reveals what it is really like to be a Tibetan in the twenty-first century, trying to preserve one’s culture, faith, and language against the depredations of a seemingly unstoppable, technologically all-seeing superpower. Her depiction is nuanced, unvarnished, and at times shocking.

The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days―but armistice talks occupied more than two of those years, as 14,000 Chinese prisoners of war refused to return to Communist China, effectively hijacking the negotiations and thwarting the designs of world leaders at a pivotal moment in Cold War history.

In The Hijacked War , David Cheng Chang vividly portrays the experiences of Chinese prisoners in the dark, cold, and damp tents of Koje and Cheju islands in Korea and how their decisions derailed the high politics being conducted in the corridors of power in Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. The Truman-Acheson administration's policies of voluntary repatriation and prisoner reindoctrination for psychological warfare purposes―the first overt and the second covert―had unintended consequences. The "success" of the reindoctrination program backfired when anti-Communist Chinese prisoners persuaded fellow Chinese prisoners to renounce their homeland, derailing negotiations between the U.S. and China and changing the course of the Cold War in East Asia.

Drawing on newly declassified archival materials from China, Taiwan, and the United States and interviews with surviving Chinese and North Korean prisoners of war, Chang depicts the struggle over prisoner repatriation that dominated the second half of the Korean War, from late 1951 to July 1953, in the prisoners' own words.

50年後，回首過去，一個紅衛兵頭目將血色青春寫成的長篇小說。

Why do the Chinese, who are mostly lactase non-persistent, suddenly thirst for milk today? Whether it is formula milk, fresh cow milk, or tea with condensed milk, the rocketing milk consumption and production in China are of increasing global food safety, health, and environmental concerns. Milk Craze examines and compares developments in China's dairy industry and dietary dairy consumption, cross-nationally and globally, and more specifically in two localities: Shunde and Hong Kong.

Through an innovative analysis of medical texts and social media, as well as careful ethnographic studies, Veronica Mak ponders why the surge in demand for Western cow milk coincides with the plunge in sales of indigenous water-buffalo milk and cheese. She reveals the multiple ways in which global industries and Chinese dairy conglomerates sabotage and destroy local dairy farms. She shows that the rise of milk consumption is not just about the globalization of cow milk production and Westernization of the Chinese diet, but also due to the crossovers between the traditional Chinese diet and medicine and modern global diets. She uses these reference points to explore the multiple meanings of dairy foods in China, such as the class and cultural attributes associated with British "milk tea" and flavored yogurt products, water buffalo curds and cheese, and the lower class associations of labor in the water-buffalo dairying industries, and then discusses these developments in China through colonial and modern global perspectives. Milk Craze argues powerfully that the Westernization or dramatic change of diet in China too often obscures structural, educational, occupational, and social stresses and constraints, while naturalizing the dubious redefinition of health, cognitive performance, and ideal body shape as individual responsibility and imperative.

This investigation into the legal, political, and moral issues surrounding how the police and justice system use surveillance technology asks the question: what are citizens of a free country willing to tolerate in the name of public safety?
As we rethink the scope of police power, Jon Fasman’s chilling examination of how the police and the justice system use the unparalleled power of surveillance technology—how it affects privacy, liberty, and civil rights—becomes more urgent by the day. Embedding himself within police departments on both coasts, Fasman explores the moral, legal, and political questions posed by these techniques and tools.
By zeroing in on how facial recognition, automatic license-plate readers, drones, predictive algorithms, and encryption affect us personally, Fasman vividly illustrates what is at stake and explains how to think through issues of privacy rights, civil liberties, and public safety. How do these technologies impact how police operate in our society? How should archaic privacy laws written for an obsolete era—that of the landline and postbox—be updated?
Fasman looks closely at what can happen when surveillance technologies are combined and put in the hands of governments with scant regard for citizens’ civil liberties, pushing us to ask: Is our democratic culture strong enough to stop us from turning into China, with its architecture of control?
