China Engages Latin America: Tracing the Trajectory By Adrian Hearn, Jose Luis Leon-Manriquez, Adrian H. Hearn (editor), Jose Luis Leon-Manriguez (editor)
2011 | 250 Pages | ISBN: 1588267679 | PDF | 2 MB
While the United States is preoccupied with the Middle East, what inroads is China making into Latin America? In China Engages Latin America, experts from three continents provide local answers to this global question.The authors explore the multiple motivations driving the establishment of new Sino Latin American linkages, the nature of those linkages, and the reactions that they have generated (not least, in the US). Enriching their analysis, they also examine how China Latin America relations have developed over more than two hundred years. The result is a work that deals with key issues of broad regional relevance, as well as country-specific political, economic, and cultural concerns.

Katie Hail-Jares, "Challenging Perspectives on Street-Based Sex Work"
English | ISBN: 1439914532 | 2017 | 308 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Are sex workers victims, criminals, or just trying to make a living? Over the last five years, public policy and academic discourse have moved from criminalization of sex workers to victim-based understanding, shaped by human trafficking. While most research focuses on macro-level policies and theories, less is known about the on-the-ground perspectives of people whose lives are impacted by sex work, including attorneys, social workers, police officers, probation officers, and sex workers themselves.

Carbon Technocracy: Energy Regimes in Modern East Asia By Victor Seow
2022 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 022672199X | PDF | 12 MB
A forceful reckoning with the relationship between energy and power through the history of what was once East Asia's largest coal mine. The coal-mining town of Fushun in China's Northeast is home to a monstrous open pit. First excavated in the early twentieth century, this pit grew like a widening maw over the ensuing decades, as various Chinese and Japanese states endeavored to unearth Fushun's purportedly "inexhaustible" carbon resources. Today, the depleted mine that remains is a wondrous and terrifying monument to fantasies of a fossil-fueled future and the technologies mobilized in attempts to turn those developmentalist dreams into reality. In Carbon Technocracy, Victor Seow uses the remarkable story of the Fushun colliery to chart how the fossil fuel economy emerged in tandem with the rise of the modern technocratic state. Taking coal as an essential feedstock of national wealth and power, Chinese and Japanese bureaucrats, engineers, and industrialists deployed new technologies like open-pit mining and hydraulic stowage in pursuit of intensive energy extraction. But as much as these mine operators idealized the might of fossil fuel-driven machines, their extractive efforts nevertheless relied heavily on the human labor that those devices were expected to displace. Under the carbon energy regime, countless workers here and elsewhere would be subjected to invasive techniques of labor control, ever-escalating output targets, and the dangers of an increasingly exploited earth. Although Fushun is no longer the coal capital it once was, the pattern of aggressive fossil-fueled development that led to its ascent endures. As we confront a planetary crisis precipitated by our extravagant consumption of carbon, it holds urgent lessons. This is a groundbreaking exploration of how the mutual production of energy and power came to define industrial modernity and the wider world that carbon made.
