The book provides an examination of the evolution of China and Taiwan after 1949. This starting point situates the contestation for power between the two entities in the region after Taipei was recognized by the international community as the representative of China. The ramifications for Taiwan were drastic as country after country switched its recognition to China including those in the Caribbean and Latin America. Taiwan was able to maintain diplomatic relations with several countries in both regions through diplomatic strategies including providing financial assistance. This has waned over time considering China's economic rise to power and Western Europe's and the United States' fall in global economic and political prestige and power. This book discusses China's and Taiwan's continuing engagement with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with a particular emphasis on the sharp rise in trade between China and the two regions. China's foreign policy agenda, and how Taiwan reacts to China's policies, are also examined

"Seven years ago, Richard Frishman embarked on a 25,000-mile journey in his car that took him from his home state of Washington to Maine, from Mississippi to Michigan. The photographs he took along the way--in major cities, backwater towns and in the countryside--capture structures and landscapes that speak to America's history of racial oppression. Frishman's goal in documenting these places and sites was to heighten awareness, motivate action and spark an honest conversation about the legacy of racial injustice in America today. As he assembled his work, and wrote detailed captions that tell the fascinating and often horrifying stories behind the photographs, he recognized that combining forces with a writer who could imbue the book with a personal touch would add an even deeper dimension. Hence, each section of the book opens with an essay by noted sociologist and Mississippi-native B. Brian Foster that eloquently speaks to the memories, the history and the ongoing struggles of Black people in the United States. Within this collection, readers will witness a history of white supremacist violence and institutional racism. A history of segregated bathrooms, beaches, churches, dining areas, doors, hospitals, hotels, waiting rooms, and water. But there are histories of Black aliveness here too. Histories of Black migration, Black entrepreneurship, Black pleasure and play, Black protest and organizing, Black singing and dancing, and Black placemaking. This remarkable book brings home a powerful truth: these ghosts of segregation haunt us because they are very much alive. The stories and photographs in this book seek to preserve the evidence of our nation's sins. When these telling traces are erased, the lessons they contain are easily denied and forgotten. Particularly by those who seek to deny and forget"--

"Welcome to this textbook, Life Cycle Nutrition for Public Health Professionals. It was written as the result of interactions with other public health nutrition academicians, practitioners, and graduate students that indicated the need for such a text, developed from a public health and community-based focus rather than a clinical nutrition perspective. This text links to the expressed Public Health 3.0 strategy that supports the need for public health leaders to develop and embrace community-wide approaches to assuring conditions in which all people can be healthy. Thus, the text considers nutrition through the entire human life course as viewed through a population health lens. The text is designed for public health students who will benefit from enhanced knowledge of nutrition principles and nutrition students who will benefit from enhanced knowledge of public health principles, as well as public health nutrition practitioners. A distinguished group of authors have collaborated to develop the contents"--

One of the most durable figures in modern history, the peasant has long been a site of intense intellectual and political debate. Yet underlying much of this literature is the assumption that peasants simply existed everywhere, a general if not generic group, traced backward from modernity to antiquity. Focused on the transformation of Panjab during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book accounts for the colonial origins of global capitalism through a radical history of the concept of "the peasant," demonstrating how seemingly fixed hierarchies were in fact produced, legitimized, and challenged within the preeminent agricultural region of South Asia. Navyug Gill uncovers how and why British officials and ascendant Panjabis disrupted existing forms of identity and occupation to generate a new agrarian order in the countryside. The notion of the hereditary caste peasant engaged in timeless cultivation thus emerged, paradoxically, as a result of a dramatic series of conceptual, juridical, and monetary divisions.Far from archaic relics, this book ultimately reveals both the landowning peasant and landless laborer to be novel political subjects forged through the encounter between colonialism and struggles over culture and capital within Panjabi society. Questions of progress, exploitation and knowledge come to animate the vernacular operations of power. With this history, Gill brings difference and contingency to understandings of the global past in order to re-think the itinerary of comparative political economy as well as alternative possibilities for emancipatory futures
