Changing politics of East Asian colonial and wartime memory in Unesco
Since the mid-2010s, conflicts at UNESCO over the interpretation of Japanese colonial rule and wartime actions in the first half of the twentieth century in Japan, South Korea, and China have been fierce. Contested nominations include the Meiji Industrial Revolution Sites for the World Heritage List (Japan), the Documents of Nanjing Massacre for the Memory of the World (MoW) Register (China), and two still pending applications on the Documents on…

The Paper Parish: The parish register and the reformation of parish memory in early modern London
This essay explores the development of parish record-keeping in early modern London, examining the implications of changing practices for communal memory. Building on the study of more than 50 parish registers, it investigates who wrote the parish records, how they were kept and how they were used. Many of the extant records are the product of a ‘memorial moment’ at the turn of the seventeenth century, involving a concerted attempt to re-order an…

Michaela Bank. Women of Two Countries: German-American Women, Women's Rights, and Nativism, 1848-1890
Developed from the author's dissertation, Women of Two Countries examines the roles of German Americans who joined the American women's rights movement. To Michaela Bank, it is a given that these women navigated a world infused with nativism. Her ideas echo work in women's history about the contradictions in a social movement that claimed universality while giving voice to and practicing discrimination. Nativism, Bank argues, was expressed in act…
Rodo wa Shinsei nari, Ketsugo wa Seiryroku nari: Takano Fusataro to Sono Jidai (Labor is Sacred, Unity is Strength: The Life and Times of Takano Fusataro)
In this long-awaited biography of Takano Fusatarō, a study of one of Japan's most important early labor organizers and itself a labor of love, Nimura Kazuo takes his readers on a remarkable journey through Japan and the US of the turn of the 20th century with a remarkable example of the historian's craft. This is Nimura's second major book, following his (1985) prize-winning study of the Ashio Copper Mine dispute and riot of 1907.1 In some ways i…

Consumption, Leisure and the Middle Class in Transwar Japan
The rise of a mass consumer society and the spread of commercialized leisure are aspects of global modernity in the 20th century. In Japan, these phenomena emerged to prominence in the transwar decades from the 1920s through the 1960s. This essay argues that the ascendance of middle-class lifeways, consumption and leisure prominent among them, took place through a process that involved the transposing of difference as much as the diffusing of sam…

Influences on biomedicine in rural Dominican Republic: An analysis of process
This paper, based on fieldwork among agrarian reform beneficiaries in the Dominican Republic, examines the utilization of health care. Specific attention is given to the consumption of private medical care and its relationship to changes in the system of land tenure, policy in the agrarian reform, and the roles of physicians. A principal concern of the paper is the examination of the adaptive strategies of beneficiaries of the reform in light of …
HIV-1 associated cognitive/motor complex in an injecting drug user
The clinical and social consequences of AIDS dementia complex/HIV-1 associated cognitive/motor complex (ADC/HACC) in drug users have not been well documented. The value of prospective serial neuropsychological, neuroradiological and neurophysiological measurements to assist diagnosis of ADC/HACC in patients with premorbid personality disorder and intercurrent drug use is demonstrated. The psychosocial problems resulting from ADC/HACC with respect…

Part three: Hispanic drinking after migration: The case of dominicans1
Increased reliance on alcohol and problem drinking is frequently reported for immigrants of minority group status who move to urban areas. However, for recent migrants from the Dominican Republic, alcohol consumption is lower and drinking problems are fewer due to increased economic opportunity and an emerging morality that disparages heavy drinking and reinforces economic incentives
