Beskrivning
Spaces of Creative Resistance: Social Change Projects in Twenty-First-Century East Asia brings together an exciting cross-regional interdisciplinary group of scholars, scholar activists, artists, and others for a collection that addresses the last two decades' hollowing out of social connections, socioeconomic income gaps, and general precarity of life in East Asian societies. Written by authors from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, each chapter is focused on people making a difference together in socially sustainable ways, particularly in the areas of gender, labor, and environments—both built and natural. These projects all constitute acts of creative resistance to neoliberal development, and each act of creative resistance demonstrates how individuals and communities across East Asia are making new worlds and lifeways in the small and everyday. Taking on larger political and economic forces that affect their lives and communities, each project and group of individuals featured here is focused on making more liveable presents and more possible futures.

Recensioner i media

"The force of this volume lies as much in the collection of essays as a whole as it does in the individual arguments; diverse, sometimes uncertain, they present a true politics of the everyday. Above all, it insists on the endurance of particularity—of a potentiality not defined by, or contained by, the seemingly totalizing ubiquity of global capital; these are stories of our time." - Thomas Looser (associate professor and chair of East Asian Studies at New York University)
