{"product_id":"another-japan-is-possible-jennifer-chan-9780804757812","title":"Another Japan Is Possible: New Social Movements and Global Citizenship Education","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book looks at the emergence of internationally linked Japanese nongovernmental advocacy networks that have grown rapidly since the 1990s in the context of three conjunctural forces: neoliberalism, militarism, and nationalism. It connects three disparate literatures--on the global justice movement, on Japanese civil society, and on global citizenship education. Through the narratives of fifty activists in eight overlapping issue areas--global governance, labor, food sovereignty, peace, HIV\/AIDS, gender, minority and human rights, and youth--\u003ci\u003eAnother Japan is Possible\u003c\/i\u003e examines the genesis of these new social movements; their critiques of neoliberalism, militarism, and nationalism; their local, regional, and global connections; their relationships with the Japanese government; and their role in constructing a new identity of the Japanese as global citizens. Its purpose is to highlight the interactions between the global and the local--that is, how international human rights and global governance issues resonate within Japan and how, in turn, local alternatives are articulated by Japanese advocacy groups--and to analyze citizenship from a postnational and postmodern perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Chan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080475781X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804757812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Jennifer Chan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120258609407,"sku":"9780804757812","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0867e217-7454-4b9b-b33e-d96b1143bd4c.jpg?v=1687413347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/another-japan-is-possible-jennifer-chan-9780804757812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
