Making Urban Revolution in China: The CCP-GMD Struggle for Beiping-Tianjin, 1945-49

Making Urban Revolution in China: The CCP-GMD Struggle for Beiping-Tianjin, 1945-49

Joseph K.S. Yick

M.E. Sharpe
1995
sidottu
The end of the Sino-Japanese War in 1945 brought not peace but renewed confrontation between Mao Zedong's Chinese Communist Party and Chiang Kaishek's Guomindang. The ensuing Civil War, at the threshold of the Cold War, held enormous significance for international strategic alliances, and in particular the interests of the United States in East Asia, and has been the subject of intense research and debate ever since. Joseph Yick's Making Urban Revolution in China: The CCP-GMD Struggle for Beiping-Tianjin, 1945-1949, based partly on the rich new sources available in the PRC since 1978, rethinks the traditional interpretations of the Chinese Communist Party's victory in 1949 and makes a major contribution to the historiography of this period.

Ecological Urbanism of Yoruba Cities in Nigeria

Ecological Urbanism of Yoruba Cities in Nigeria

Joseph Adeniran Adedeji; Roman J. M. Lenz

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book offers in-depth ethnographic analyses of key informants’ interviews on the ecological urbanism and ecosystem services (ES) of selected green infrastructure (GI) in Yoruba cities of Ile-Ife, Ibadan, Osogbo, Lagos, Abeokuta, Akure, Ondo, among others in Southwest Nigeria. It examines the Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) demonstrated for wellbeing through home gardens by this largest ethno-linguistic group in Nigeria. This is in addition to the ES of Osun Grove UNESCO World Heritage Site, Osogbo; Biological Garden and Park, Akure; Lekki Conservation Centre, Lagos; Adekunle Fajuyi Park, Ado-Ekiti; Muri Okunola Park, Lagos; and some institutional GI including University of Ibadan Botanical Gardens, Ibadan; Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta Botanical Garden, Abeokuta; and University of Lagos Lagoon Front Resort, Lagos, Nigeria. The study draws on theoretical praxis of Western biophilic ideologies, spirit ontologies of the Global South, and largely, Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) to examine eco-cultural green spaces, home gardens, and English-types of parks and gardens as archetypes of GI in Yoruba traditional urbanism, colonial and post-colonial city planning. The book provides methods of achieving a form of modernized traditionalism as means of translating the IKS into design strategies for eco-cultural cities. The strategies are framework, model, and ethnographic design algorithms that are syntheses of the lived experiences of the key informants.

Bootstrap New Urbanism

Bootstrap New Urbanism

Joseph A. Rodriguez

Lexington Books
2014
sidottu
Joseph A. Rodriguez critically examines the urban design and revitalization initiatives undertaken by both the government and the people of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In the 1990s, New Urbanists followed a city tradition of using urban design to solve problems while seeking to elevate the city’s national reputation and status. While New Urbanism was not the only design element undertaken to further Milwaukee’s redevelopment, the elite focus on New Urbanism reflected an attempt to fashion a self-help narrative for the revitalization of the city. This approach linked New Urbanist design to the strengthening of grassroots community organizing and volunteerism to solve urban problems. Bootstrap New Urbanism: Design, Race, and Redevelopment in Milwaukee uncovers a practice with implications for urban history, architectural history, planning history, environmental design, ethnic studies, and urban politics.

Writing the Urban Jungle

Writing the Urban Jungle

Joseph McLaughlin

University of Virginia Press
2000
sidottu
Much has been written about cultural imperialism and the effects of Britain and British culture on colonized people, but Joseph McLaughlin suggests that the influence worked both ways. Focusing on the relationship between the literature of British imperialism and turn-of-the-century metropolitan culture, this work offers an account of the cultural confusion caused by bringing the foreign home. Narratives, plots and language formerly used to describe the colonies, McLaughlin argues, became ways of reading and writing about life in London, ""that great cesspool into which all loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained"", as Arthur Conan Doyle's Dr Watson describes it in ""A Study in Scarlet"" (1887), the initial Sherlock Holmes tale. Canonical and popular literature by Doyle, Margaret Harkness, Joseph Conrad and T.S. Eliot, and the literature of social reform and urban ethnography by General William Booth of the Salvation Army and Jack London all display this inversion of colonial rhetoric. By deploying the metaphor of ""the urban jungle"", these writers reconfigure the urban poor as ""a new race of city savages"" and read urban culture as a ""Darkest England"", an Africa-like place rife with danger and novel possibilities. Drawing from and extending the field of criticism pioneered by Edward Said, this work presents a paradigm for reading late-Victorian, modernist and postcolonial literary and historical texts. It also provides a tool for urban anthropologists working in our own fin de siecle.

Le d sordre urbain est une r alit dans les grandes m tropoles africaines. Le commerce et la gestion de l'espace urbain dans les CTD au Cameroun est d'une importance capitale du fait de l'acc l ration du processus de d centralisation dans ce pays. Le livre que vous tenez est une analyse des enjeux, logique, et strat gie des acteurs dans la commune d'arrondissement de Yaound 1er. Elle part du constat selon lequel les activit s commerciales au Cameroun pour la plupart se pratiquent dans un cadre informel. Il n'est pas tonnant de rencontrer des marchands dans des zones proscrites par la loi en mati re d'utilisation de l'espace urbain. Ainsi l'utilisation anarchique de l'espace urbain a permis de d celer le probl me de l'incivisme commercial dans l'espace urbain. Il ressort de notre enqu te que la raison la plus avanc e et controvers e est la d faillance de l'Etat mettre sur pied une politique fiable de planification, d'am nagement et de gestion de l'espace urbain avec les populations locales.

Urbane Unordnung ist eine Realit t in den gro en afrikanischen Metropolen. Der Handel und die Verwaltung des st dtischen Raums in den CTDs in Kamerun ist von entscheidender Bedeutung aufgrund der Beschleunigung des Dezentralisierungsprozesses in diesem Land. Das Buch, das Sie in H nden halten, ist eine Analyse der Herausforderungen, der Logik und der Strategie der Akteure in der Arrondissementgemeinde Yaound 1er. Es geht von der Feststellung aus, dass die meisten gesch ftlichen Aktivit ten in Kamerun in einem informellen Rahmen stattfinden. Es ist nicht verwunderlich, dass man H ndler in Bereichen antrifft, die in Bezug auf die Nutzung des st dtischen Raums gesetzlich ge chtet sind. So hat die anarchische Nutzung des st dtischen Raums es erm glicht, das Problem des kommerziellen Incivismus im st dtischen Raum zu erkennen. Um dieses Problem zu erfassen, haben wir einen qualitativen Ansatz gew hlt, der sich auf Interviews (06) und Beobachtungen vor Ort (05 M rkte, 05 st dtische R ume) konzentriert. Aus unserer Untersuchung geht hervor, dass der am h ufigsten genannte und umstrittenste Grund das Versagen des Staates ist, eine verl ssliche Politik der Planung, Gestaltung und Verwaltung des st dtischen Raums zu entwickeln. Nach diesen Ergebnissen soll als Ausblick ein Vorschlag f r die Zukunft gemacht werden.

Urban disorder

Our Knowledge Publishing

Urban disorder is a reality in Africa's major metropolises. The trade and management of urban space in Cameroon's CTDs is of paramount importance given the acceleration of the decentralization process in this country. The book you are holding is an analysis of the stakes, logic and strategy of the players in the Yaound 1er arrondissement. It is based on the observation that most commercial activities in Cameroon take place in an informal setting. It's not surprising to find merchants in areas where the law prohibits the use of urban space. The anarchic use of urban space has revealed the problem of uncivilized commerce in urban areas. To understand this problem, we used a qualitative approach based on interviews (06) and in situ observation (05 markets, 05 urban spaces). Our survey revealed that the most advanced and controversial reason is the failure of the State to set up a reliable policy for the planning, development and management of urban space. In the light of these findings, we would like to offer a few words of perspective.

Governing urban centres and security challenges

Governing urban centres and security challenges

Bamidele Joseph Adekunle

Scholars' Press
2019
pokkari
The book examined the profile of security challenges in the North Central Nigeria in the Fourth Republic, examined the nexus between urban governance and security challenges in the study area, appraised the strategies put in place to combat security challenges in the selected states during the period under study and investigated the factors militating against the effort of government to tackle security challenges in the study area. These were with a view to assessing the effect of urban governance on security in the selected States. The study concluded that urban centre governance in the North Central Nigeria has contributed to the security challenges in the study area. The poor governance arose from its failure to provide adequate social services, especially in the areas of education, health and gainful employment to the people, and funding of security outfits.

Cultural Patterns in Urban Schools

Cultural Patterns in Urban Schools

Joseph D. Lohman

University of California Press
2022
pokkari
Cultural Patterns in Urban Schools: A Guide for Educators is a comprehensive manual designed to help teachers, counselors, and administrators navigate the challenges of teaching in increasingly diverse urban environments. By focusing on the subcultures from which many students originate, this book emphasizes understanding and acceptance as keys to unlocking the strengths and potential of students who may feel alienated by traditional school systems. Developed from the insights of experienced educators working with minority youth, it provides real-world scenarios, thoughtful commentary, and actionable strategies to foster communication and engagement. The manual explores the broader cultural and socioeconomic shifts affecting urban schools, highlighting the clash between established middle-class norms and the lived realities of students from diverse backgrounds. Through its structure, which includes case studies, guiding questions, and social science digests, the book equips educators with tools to address cultural conflicts, promote inclusion, and adapt teaching methods. With a focus on empathy and informed practice, it serves as a critical resource for creating educational environments where all students can thrive and contribute to their communities. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1969.

Qu'arriverait-il si tous vos d sirs taient satisfaits ? Que deviendraient vos r ves ? Vos motivations ? Notre existence n'a un sens que dans la mesure o nous produisons un effet sur le monde qui nous entoure. C'est ce qu'Antoine va d couvrir tout au long de ce roman gr ce une machine con ue pour modifier son environnement et le cours de sa vie selon ses d sirs. Le toit faisait le dos rond et exhibait l'harmonieux arrangement de ses tuiles, ajust es comme des cailles d'armadillo, et qui s'effor aient de s'adapter la forme si contraire leur g om trie rigide. Dans les murs renfl s vers l'ext rieur, des ouvertures ovales rappelant les fen tres s'ouvraient comme des yeux opaques derri re lesquels on sentait somnoler des douceurs tranquilles et envo tantes. Aucune duret dans cette silhouette qui esquissait l'allure famili re et compl te d'un oeuf. Il se sentait voluptueusement bien. Son regard se fixa sur le vide; il se mit contempler l'obscurit . Entre lui et l'ext rieur, un espace capitonn s' tait install , une distance souple qui absorbait tout. La maison se referma sur lui avec un petit bruit de succion comme une substance molle.
