Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

In the years Bbetween the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the beginning of the war mobilization boom in 1930 collieries in Europe and America embraced new technologies and had long since been excluded women from working underground. In Japan however mining women witnessed no significant changes in working practices over this period. The availability of the cheap and abundant labor of these women allowed the captains of the coal industry in Japan to avoid expensive investments in new machinery and sophisticated mining methods; instead they continued to intensely exploit workers and markets intensively making substantial profits without the burdens of extensive mechanization. This unique book explores the lives of the thousands of women who labored underground in Japan’s coal mines in the years 1868 to 1930. It examines their working lives their family lives their aspirations achievements and disappointments. Drawing heavily on interview material with the miners themselves W. Donald Burton combines translations of their stories with features of Japanese society at the time and coal mining technology. In doing so he presents a complex account of the women’s lives as well as providing a keen insight intoon gender relations and the industrial and labor history of Japan. Coal Mining Women in Japan will be welcomed by students and scholars of Japanese history gender studies and industrial history. | Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

Industrial Heritage and Regional Identities

Industrial Heritage and Regional Identities

Heritage is not what we see in front of us it is what we make of it in our heads. Heritage sites have been connected to a range of identarian projects both spatial and non-spatial. One of the most common links with heritage has been national identity. This book stresses that heritage has developed powerful links to regional and local identities. Contributors deal explicitly with regions of heavy industry in different parts of the world exploring non-spatial forms of identity: including class religious ethnic racial gender and cultural identities. In many heritage sites non-spatial forms of identity are interlinked with spatial ones. Civil society action has been important in representations of regional identities and industrial-heritage campaigns. Region-branding seems to determine the ultimate success of industrial heritage a process that is closely connected to the marketing of regions to provide a viable economic future and attract tourism to the region. Selected case-studies on coal and steel producing regions in this book provide the first global survey of how regions of heavy industry deal with their industrial heritage and what it means for regional identity and region-branding. This book draws a range of powerful conclusions about the path dependency of particular forms for post-industrial regional identity in former regions of heavy industry. It highlights both commonalities and differences in the strategies employed with regard to the regions’ industrial heritage. This book will appeal to lecturers students and scholars in the fields of heritage management industrial studies and cultural geography. | Industrial Heritage and Regional Identities

Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

Do you feel like you’re the only person at your office without an I Voted! sticker on Election Day? It turns out that you're far from alone – 100 million eligible U. S. voters never went to the polls in 2016. That’s about 35 million more than voted for the winning presidential candidate. In this book Christopher Freiman explains why these 100 million need not feel guilty. Why It’s OK to Ignore Politics argues that you’re under no obligation to be politically active. Freiman addresses new objections to political abstention as well as some old chestnuts (But what if everyone stopped voting?). He also synthesizes recent empirical work showing how our political motivations distort our choices and reasoning. Because participating in politics is not an effective way to do good Freiman argues that we actually have a moral duty to disengage from politics and instead take direct action to make the world a better place. Key Features: Makes the case against a duty of political participation for a non-expert audience Presupposes no knowledge of philosophy or political science and is written in a style free of technical jargon Addresses the standard much-repeated arguments for why one should vote (e. g. one shouldn’t free ride on the efforts of others) Presents the growing literature on politically motivated reasoning in an accessible and entertaining way Covers a significant amount of new ground in the debate over a duty of political participation (e. g. whether participating absolves us of our complicity in state injustice) Challenges the increasingly popular argument from philosophers and economists that swing state voting is effective altruism Discusses the therapeutic benefits of ignoring politics—it’s good for you your relationships and society as a whole. | Why It's OK to Ignore Politics

The Routledge Handbook of Green Social Work

The Routledge Handbook of Green Social Work

Green social work espouses a holistic approach to all peoples and other living things – plants and animals and the physical ecosystem; emphasises the relational nature of all its constituent parts; and redefines the duty to care for and about others as one that includes the duty to care for and about planet earth. By acknowledging the interdependency of all living things it allows for the inclusion of all systems and institutions in its remit including both (hu)man-made and natural disasters arising from the (hu)made ones of poverty to chemical pollution of the earth’s land waters and soils and climate change to the natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes which turn to disasters through human (in)action. Green social work’s value system is also one that favours equality social inclusion the equitable distribution of resources and a rights-based approach to meeting people’s needs to live in an ethical and sustainable manner. Responding to these issues is one of the biggest challenges facing social workers in the twenty-first century which this Handbook is intended to address. Through providing the theories practices policies knowledge and skills required to act responsibly in responding to the diverse disasters that threaten to endanger all living things and planet earth itself this green social work handbook will be required reading for all social work students academics and professionals as well as those working in the fields of community development and disaster management. | The Routledge Handbook of Green Social Work

A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum

The Sylloge Tacticorum is a mid-Byzantine example of the literary genre of military manuals or Taktika which stretches back to antiquity. It was one of a number produced during the tenth century CE a period when the Byzantine empire enjoyed a large measure of success in its wars against its traditional enemy the Arabs. Compiled to record and preserve military strategies know-how and tactics the manual discusses a wide variety of matters: battle formations raids sieges ambushes surprise attacks the treatment of prisoners of war and defectors distribution of booty punishment of military offences how to mount effective espionage and how to send and receive envoys. There is even advice on the personal qualities required by generals on how to neutralize enemy horses and on how to protect the troops against poisoned food. The work culminates in an account of the stratagems employed by great Greek and Roman military commanders of the past. While like so much of Byzantine literature the Sylloge often simply reproduces material found in earlier texts it also preserves a great deal of information about the military tactics being developed by the Byzantine army during the tenth century. It is the first Byzantine source to record the reappearance of a specialized heavy cavalry (the kataphraktoi) and of a specialized infantry (the menavlatoi) used to repel the attacks of the opposing heavy cavalry. There is also a great deal of information on new infantry and cavalry formations and on the new tactics that required them. This is the first complete translation of the Sylloge into English. It is accompanied by a glossary of the specialised Greek military vocabulary used in the work and by footnotes which explain obscure references and identify the author’s classical and Byzantine sources. An introduction places the work in its historical and literary context and considers some of the questions that | A Tenth-Century Byzantine Military Manual: The Sylloge Tacticorum
