Blanco -- Tropics of savagery : the culture of Japanese empire in comparative frame / by Robert Thomas Tierney -- Colonial project, national game : a history of baseball in Taiwan / by Andrew Morris. 330 $aTropics of Savagery is an incisive and provocative study of the figures and tropes of "savagery" in Japanese colonial culture. Through a rigorous analysis of literary works, ethnographic studies, and a variety of other discourses, Robert Thomas Tierney demonstrates how imperial Japan constructed its own identity in relation both to the West and to the people it colonized. By examining the representations of Taiwanese aborigines and indigenous Micronesians in the works of prominent writers, he shows that the trope of the savage underwent several metamorphoses over the course of Japan's colonial period--violent headhunter to be subjugated, ethnographic other to be studied, happy primitive to be exoticized, and hybrid colonial subject to be assimilated. 410 0$aAsia Pacific modern ;$v5. 606 $aImperialism$xHistory 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xHistory 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zJapan 606 $aPopular culture$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aIndigenous peoples in literature 607 $aJapan$xColonies$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImperialism$xHistory. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xHistory. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory. 615 0$aJapanese literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples in literature. 676 $a325/.352 700 $aTierney$b Robert Thomas$f1953-$01041161 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459584103321 996 $aTropics of savagery$92464502 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03965oam 2200577 450 001 9910707922503321 005 20200407130917.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002469347 035 $a(OCoLC)934804740 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002469347 100 $a20160115d2015 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAir travel and communicable diseases, comprehensive federal plan needed for U.S. aviation system's preparedness : report to Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Aviation, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of Representatives 210 1$a[Washington, D.C.] :$cUnited States Government Accountability Office,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (ii, 60 pages) $ccolor illustrations, color map 300 $a"December 2015." 300 $a"Accessible version." 300 $a"GAO-16-127." 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 330 $aPast communicable diseases, such as the recent Ebola epidemic, have resulted in many deaths and highlight the potential economic cost of disruptions to air travel and the U.S. and global economies. GAO was asked to review the preparedness of the U.S. aviation system to respond to communicable diseases. This report examines (1) the extent to which selected U.S. airports and airlines have plans for responding to communicable disease threats from abroad and to which a national aviation-preparedness plan guides preparedness, and (2) the challenges that U.S. airports and airlines have faced when responding to threats and any actions taken to address them. GAO reviewed available documents and interviewed representatives from 14 U.S. international airports -- selected to reflect a range of activities and facilities -- and the 3 major U.S. airlines. GAO also reviewed applicable federal requirements and international obligations and guidance for U.S. airports and airlines, and interviewed officials and reviewed documents from federal agencies and aviation stakeholder groups. GAO recommends that DOT work with relevant stakeholders, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, to develop a national aviation-preparedness plan for communicable diseases. DOT agrees a plan is needed, but suggests public health agencies lead the effort. GAO continues to believe the recommendation is correctly directed to DOT, as discussed in this report.--Highlights page. 517 $aAir travel and communicable diseases, comprehensive federal plan needed for U.S. aviation system's preparedness 606 $aAir travel$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAeronautics$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEpidemics$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aCommunicable diseases$zUnited States$xPrevention 606 $aAeronautics$xHealth aspects$2fast 606 $aAir travel$xHealth aspects$2fast 606 $aCommunicable diseases$xPrevention$2fast 606 $aEpidemics$xPrevention$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aAir travel$xHealth aspects 615 0$aAeronautics$xHealth aspects 615 0$aEpidemics$xPrevention. 615 0$aCommunicable diseases$xPrevention. 615 7$aAeronautics$xHealth aspects. 615 7$aAir travel$xHealth aspects. 615 7$aCommunicable diseases$xPrevention. 615 7$aEpidemics$xPrevention. 712 02$aUnited States.$bCongress.$bHouse.$bCommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure.$bSubcommittee on Aviation, 801 0$bFER 801 1$bFER 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910707922503321 996 $aAir travel and communicable diseases, comprehensive federal plan needed for U.S. aviation system's preparedness : report to Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Aviation, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House of Representatives$93286931 997 $aUNINA
