[201]-251) and index.This book highlights the importance of individuals in the shaping of postwar Japan by providing an historical account of how physicists constituted an influential elite. An history of science perspective provides insight into their role, helping us to understand the hybrid identity of Japanese scientists, and how they reinvented not only themselves, but also Japan. The book is special in that it uses the history of science to deal with issues relating to Japanese identity, and how it was transformed in the decades after Japan's defeat. It explores the lives and work of seven physicists, two of whom were Nobel prize winners. It makes use of little-known Occupation period documents, personal papers of physicists, and Japanese language source material.Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University.Science and stateJapanHistoryResearch, IndustrialJapanPhysicistsJapanElectronic books.Science and stateHistory.Research, IndustrialPhysicists338.952/06Low Morris909278MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450597303321Science and the building of a new Japan2491690UNINA04137nam 22007454a 450 991045117950332120200520144314.01-280-86764-797866108676461-4294-5502-090-474-0700-81-4337-0704-7(CKB)1000000000334885(EBL)280860(OCoLC)228171560(SSID)ssj0000266699(PQKBManifestationID)11238352(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000266699(PQKBWorkID)10322806(PQKB)11262819(MiAaPQ)EBC280860(Au-PeEL)EBL280860(CaPaEBR)ebr10171699(CaONFJC)MIL86764(EXLCZ)99100000000033488520040923d2005 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrVanguard or vandals[electronic resource] youth, politics, and conflict in Africa /edited by Jon Abbink, Ineke van KesselLeiden ;Boston Brill20051 online resource (311 p.)African dynamics,1568-1777 ;4Based on an African Studies Centre conference held in Leiden in April 2003.90-04-14275-4 Includes bibliographical references.Illustrations; Maps; Tables; Photographs; 1 Being young in Africa: The politics of despair and renewal (Jon Abbink); 2 Towards a political history of youth in Muslim northern Nigeria, 1750-2000 (Murray Last); 3 Imagined generations: Constructing youth in revolutionary Zanzibar (G.

The issue is not only the drafting of child soldiers into insurgent armies or predatory militias, as in Somalia, Sierra Leone or Congo, but, more generally, that of the problematic insertion of large numbers of young people in the socio-economic and political order of post-colonial Africa. Even educated youths are being confronted with a lack of opportunities, blocked social mobility, and despair about the future.
