It compares legislative responses to terrorism in the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel finding that government centralization and abridgement of rights are common, but that the story is much more nuanced and complicated than at first meets the eye. Not all terror attacks lead to new legislation, many lead to muted responses. 606 $aCivil rights$xGovernment policy 606 $aTerrorism$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCivil rights$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aTerrorism$xGovernment policy. 676 $a323.4/9 700 $aRubin$b Gabriel$f1979-$0990587 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791973603321 996 $aFreedom and order$93711706 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04746nam 22006254a 450 001 9910971521603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9780231502467 010 $a023150246X 024 7 $a10.7312/hsi-12852 035 $a(CKB)111087026932556 035 $a(EBL)909023 035 $a(OCoLC)818856536 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000122670 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11143264 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000122670 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10130954 035 $a(PQKB)11154038 035 $a(DE-B1597)458952 035 $a(OCoLC)979904161 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780231502467 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL909023 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10183460 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31756310 035 $a(Perlego)775742 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC909023 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111087026932556 100 $a20020620d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe city trilogy $eFive jade disks, Defenders of the Dragon City, Tale of a feather /$fChang Hsi-kuo ; translated from the Chinese by John Balcom 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew York $cColumbia University Press$dc2003 215 $a1 online resource (407 pages) $cmaps 225 1 $aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan 311 08$a9780231128520 311 08$a0231128525 327 $tFront matter --$tCONTENTS --$tTRANSLATOR' S PREFACE /$rHsi-Kuo, Chang / Science Fiction In Taiwan --$tACKNOWLEDGMENTS --$t1.

TALE OF A FEATHER 330 $aTaiwan's most innovative science fiction writer presents three tales of intrigue, espionage, betrayal, political strife, time travel, and Chinese history and mysticism. After thousands of years of civil unrest and countless wars, the weary Huhui people of Sunlon City have once again succumbed to a ruthless and overpowering enemy. In Five Jade Disks, the first book in the trilogy, the imperialistic Shan have enslaved the inhabitants of Sunlon City and imposed a harsh martial order. As the Shan fight to retain control of the restless Huhui natives, an unstable rebel alliance prepares to win back its homeland. Amidst the confusion of revolt, Miss Qi, a determined young girl, emerges as an unlikely leader. With the help of her friends and the loyal Green Snake Brotherhood, Miss Qi discovers that an ancient cult and its insidious and unusually powerful leader may hold the key to the rebels' victory-or may yet be the cause of their undoing. As she rushes to put the pieces together, the rebels, divided by internal factions, strive to band together in a heroic attempt to overthrow the Shan. The story continues in Defenders of the Dragon City. The Shan have been defeated, but the victory celebrations of the Huhui are quickly brought to an end. After deserting Sunlon City, the Shan regroup and return for one final and bitter attempt to destroy the weakened rebel forces. During their exile, the Shan turn their aggressions against the indigenous races of the Huhui planet, a colorful mix of peaceful tribes resembling serpents, eagles, and leopards. Forced into the war to save their remaining territory, the indigenous peoples join the Huhui in their continuing struggle against the Shan. The third novel, Tale of a Feather, opens with images of chaos and devastation. The conflict with the Shan has left the city in flames, and refugees are fleeing in droves through the main gates. Taking advantage of the turmoil, a ruthless dictator assumes control of the weak interim government and begins a treacherous campaign to eliminate his adversaries. In this volatile atmosphere, Miss Qi continues her desperate search to discover the origin of the mysterious Bronze Statue Cult and come to terms with the dark power it wields over her people. The trilogy, first published in Taiwan in the late 1980's and early 1990's and widely considered to be a modern classic, is now presented for the first time in English and in a single volume. In these allegorical tales, Chang confronts some of the most serious and divisive issues of our time, including the burden of history and the ravages of oppression, racism, and ethnic displacement. 410 0$aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a895.1/352 700 $aChang$b S.
