Comprising two volumes, this is a pioneering study which examines how the United States has deployed public diplomacy with Japan to confront Japanese sexual and labour trafficking, while also charting the successes and failures of the US's own record on anti-trafficking practices at home and abroad. The subject is an important aspect of human rights advocacy where much remains either unknown or imprecise with regard to a phenomenon that involves millions of people across all continents and within all nation states. The approach is largely chronological and country-based, using documentary evidence from 1945 onwards to trace national and international responses to what is frequently termed 'modern slavery', placed within the broader and still evolving context of respect for the full panoply of human rights. Volume 1 comprises the analysis, debates and outcomes, together with ten primary documents relating to the years 1945–1999, as well as a bibliography and index. Volume 2 comprises a further 34 documents relating to the years 2000–2020, including international covenants, US Trafficking In Persons and Congressional reports, and Japanese government papers

"This book explores how capital-labour relations and antagonisms structure forms of militancy in Vietnam and shows that Vietnamese labour militancy is in line with global trends of worker activism. Vietnamese labour politics is undergoing significant changes, with a new Labour code that became law in 2021 allowing workers to join 'worker representative organisations' not subordinate to the state-led union or the ruling Communist Party. This book reflects on the nature of Vietnamese labour politics on the cusp of reform. It focuses on nominally formal labour within the garment and footwear industry in the southern part of the country, the author argues that while employment in the formal economy is expanding in terms of the absolute numbers of people working in formally registered firms, capital employs various ways to make conditions inside these companies increasingly insecure. In response, workers organise in forms of decentralised resistance. The book analyses two of these in detail; wildcat strikes and 'microstrikes'-short collective work stoppages that occur inside workplaces. Arguing that labour resistance is structured in relation to capital's behaviour, and not only because of weak labour relations institutions and mechanisms, this book makes a valuable contribution to the field of labour and social movement studies, development studies, sociology, and political economy and Southeast Asian Studies"--

"The birth of the Basque insurgent group ETA (Euzkadi Ta Askatasuna [Freedom for the Basque Country]) in 1959 coincided with the beginning of an industrialization process that modernized Spanish society during the 1960s. At that time, in the mid-1960s, ETA already believed that the independence of the Basque people would only be achieved through the workers' struggle. This notion was not only held by the organization. In 1968, when ETA assassinated its first victim, Melitón Manzanas, a police officer and the head of the Political-Social Brigade of the Basque province of Guipúzkoa, many Basque people understood the necessity of the armed struggle against the Franco regime. In 1973, when ETA murdered Admiral Carrero Blanco, who had been appointed president of the government by Franco, the Basque nationalist society and much of the anti-Francoist Spanish movement also began to sympathize with ETA and its armed struggle. However, by 2011 when ETA declared a unilateral cease-fire, the organization had become completely isolated from both Spanish society and the Basque people. What had happened in the intervening sixty years to cause ETA to move from being the vanguard of the struggle against the Franco regime to the context of the twenty-first century in which the majority of the Basque population wanted the organization to abandon the armed struggle? Rather than focusing on what "mistakes" ETA has committed, my work reveals the necessity of understanding how this organization reflects changes in both Basque and Spanish society. Therefore, my intention in this book is to understand the Basque conflict not as an isolated armed struggle between ETA and the Spanish security forces but as a part of recent Spanish contemporary history"--

"Get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it takes to be considered two of the worst figures in history, with the third book in this nonfiction series that focuses on the most despicable historical figures. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are possibly the most famous and most romanticized criminals in American history. When the police found photos of them posing with guns and goofing around, they became media darlings. However, their fame was short-lived, and their lives would end in a violent police ambush. Because the reality was very different. During their 1930s crime spree, the two young Texans and the rest of their gang lived a vicious life filled with narrow escapes, bungled robberies, injuries, and murders. And they weren't the only gangsters operating at the time. Criminals like Al Capone, Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd, and "Ma" Barker grabbed their own share of headlines, but in the end it was Bonnie and Clyde who really captured the public's imagination. A lot of that was because of Bonnie herself. The cute, blonde criminal was unique at the time. There is no question that their story continues to fascinate writers, musicians, visual artists, and filmmakers. But is that fascination justified? Or are we confusing the movie images with reality and ignoring the ugly truth of their story?"--
