Sommario/riassunto

"Race for Empire offers a profound and challenging reinterpretation of nationalism, racism, and wartime mobilization during the Asia-Pacific war. In parallel case studies--of Japanese Americans mobilized to serve in the United States Army and of Koreans recruited or drafted into the



Japanese military--T. Fujitani examines the U.S. and Japanese empires as they struggled to manage racialized populations while waging total war. Fujitani probes governmental policies and analyzes representations of these soldiers--on film, in literature, and in archival documents--to reveal how characteristics of racism, nationalism, capitalism, gender politics, and the family changed on both sides. He demonstrates that the United States and Japan became increasingly alike over the course of the war, perhaps most tellingly in their common attempts to disavow racism even as they reproduced it in new ways and forms"--

Sommario/riassunto

This book is a great opportunity to make the research community discuss the dangerous environmental challenges such as climate change and its huge effects in addition to the world's reliance on fossil fuel and non-renewable resources. In recent years, the authors have been focused on the advancements of technology and how it can improve our lives, but the authors often overlook the fact that it is creating an unsustainable approach that comes at a high cost which makes a sustainable approach to cities necessary, focusing on accessible public transport, energy, water, and food security, and regenerating compact fabric areas. To discuss how to reach this sustainable approach, IEREK held the Advances in Energy Research, Materials Science and Built Environment (EMBE) conference from October 3 to 4, 2024, with attendees from all over the world. It provides an opportunity to exchange ideas and solutions on urban planning, sustainable architecture, climate change mitigation, and innovative design. The EMBE conference hosts a variety of knowledgeable keynote speakers and researchers who discussed the integration of technology in sustainable urban planning, green urbanism, preservation of coastal areas, innovative renewable materials, and responsive architecture. The book covers a wide range of scientific knowledge that can lead humanity toward a sustainable and greener future.
