Singer in Japan -- pt. 2. Sewing modernity in war and peace.Since its early days of mass production in the 1850's, the sewing machine has been intricately connected with the global development of capitalism. Andrew Gordon traces the machine's remarkable journey into and throughout Japan, where it not only transformed manners of dress, but also helped change patterns of daily life, class structure, and the role of women. As he explores the selling, buying, and use of the sewing machine in the early to mid-twentieth century, Gordon finds that its history is a lens through which we can examine the modern transformation of daily life in Japan. Both as a tool of production and as an object of consumer desire, the sewing machine is entwined with the emergence and ascendance of the middle class, of the female consumer, and of the professional home manager as defining elements of Japanese modernity.Asia--local studies/global themes ;19.Sewing-machine industryUnited StatesHistory20th centuryClothing tradeJapanHistory20th centuryConsumersJapanHistory20th century19th century japan.19th century women.business infrastructure.company business profiles.consumerism history.corporate innovation.dress and textiles.east asia.fashion and clothing.female consumer.history of anthropology.history of capitalism.history of fashion.japan social history.japanese class structure.japanese females.japanese history.japanese role of women.japanese women.middle class.modern japan.sewing machine history.socioeconomic change.western dress.women in workplace.Sewing-machine industryHistoryClothing tradeHistoryConsumersHistory338.7/64620440952Gordon Andrew1952-1017492MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781558803321Fabricating consumers3719617UNINA04549nam 22007695 450 991048441870332120250609111526.09783030511449303051144810.1007/978-3-030-51144-9(CKB)4100000011384312(MiAaPQ)EBC6306523(DE-He213)978-3-030-51144-9(Perlego)3481257(MiAaPQ)EBC6299914(EXLCZ)99410000001138431220200812d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNarratives of Vulnerability in Mexico's War on Drugs /by Raúl Diego Rivera Hernández1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (xi, 211 pages) illustrations9783030511432 303051143X Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Conclusion. ."This book provides an important and eloquent analysis of how cultural productions related to the War on Drugs reveal the ways the victimization of migrants in transit, journalists, and the relatives of disappeared ultimately give rise to crucial modes of politics and resistance. This is a topic that will be of great interest to anyone interested in the war on drugs, migration, democracy in Mexico, or indeed imperatives in general for human rights and social justice." --Shaylih Muehlmann, University of British Columbia, Canada This book explores the current human rights crisis created by the War on Drugs in Mexico. It focuses on three vulnerable communities that have felt the impacts of this war firsthand: undocumented Central American migrants in transit to the United States; journalists who report on violence in highly dangerous regions; and the mourning relatives of victims of severe crimes, who take collective action by participating in human rights investigations and searching for their missing loved ones. Analyzing contemporary novels, journalistic chronicles, testimonial works, and documentaries, the book reveals the political potential of these communities' vulnerability and victimization portrayed in these fictional and non-fictional representations. Violence against migrants, journalists, and activists reveals an array of human rights violations affecting the right to safe transit across borders, freedom of expression, the right to information, and the right to truth and justice. Raúl Diego Rivera Hernández is an Associate Professor at Villanova University. He has Edited of Del Internet a las calles: #Yosoy132, una opción alternativa de hacer política (2016).
