"How does a nation deal with the memory of its brutal past?" is perhaps the question that most guides David Goodman, a journalist and longtime observer of South African life. Like the Truth and Reconciliation hearings, the political instrument of South Africa's struggle to come to terms with apartheid-era crimes, the strength of Fault Lines rests on an unflinching yet compassionate quest for truth. Goodman brings all his investigative skills to the task of getting an answer from all sides. He juxtaposes profiles of a victim of police brutality and the former security officer who helped torture him, or a well-off Afrikaner farmer and his neighbor, a black South African forcibly removed from his land. While formal apartheid has ended, Goodman finds "an unfinished revolution," with many citizens still mired in terrible economic and social injustice. Fault Lines is fascinating, if disturbing, reading for anyone interested in understanding the history and present of what the author calls "the most exciting country in the world." --Maria Dolan ]]> 22447 4.06 358 65 1999 663535 1568981783 9781568981789 1 <![CDATA[Angura: Posters of the Japanese Avant-Garde]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176903416m/663535.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176903416s/663535.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/663535.Angura_Posters_of_the_Japanese_Avant_Garde 4.50 6 Angura: Posters of the Japanese Avant-Garde documents the extraordinary posters created for a group of experimental Japanese theatre groups during the 1960s and 70s. Ranging from the vivid and sexually explicit images of sixties psychedelia to the subtle refinement of traditional Japanese printmaking, the posters represent a tumultuous period both in Japanese graphic arts and in Japanese society as a whole. Silkscreened with up to twenty different colors and printed in limited editions, the posters were ostensibly meant as advertisements for the theatre productions of a thriving counterculture. But the designers focused such lavish care on the posters that they were rarely finished before the productions opened, eliminating their commercial function and making them objects of art. Author David G. Goodman illuminates these arresting images, describes the context in which they were created, and provides a brief history of modern Japanese graphic design. In the foreword, Ellen Lupton discusses the relevance of these images for the contemporary designer. Angura will appeal to anyone interested in Japanese anime graphics.]]> 22447 4.06 358 65 1999 6276305 1854377795 9781854377791 3 <![CDATA[Shape]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6276305.Shape 4.20 5 22447 4.06 358 65 337375 3.88 8 4 2009 373083 1891847031 9781891847035 1 <![CDATA[Modern Twang: An Alternative Country Music Guide and Directory]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255121m/373083.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255121s/373083.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/373083.Modern_Twang_An_Alternative_Country_Music_Guide_and_Directory 3.75 4 22447 4.06 358 65 1999 3824361 041516253X 9780415162531 0 <![CDATA[Globalising Food: Agrarian Questions and Global Restructuring]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3824361.Globalising_Food_Agrarian_Questions_and_Global_Restructuring 4.00 1 Globalising Food addresses the key themes that are transforming the character of the traditional agricultural communities, ranging from multinational food corporations and World Bank policies, to regulation of pollution and labor relations.]]> 22447 4.06 358 65 1997 373080 1878239708 9781878239709 0 <![CDATA[Backcountry Skiing Adventures: Vermont and New York: Classic Ski and Snowboard Tours in Vermont and New York]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255120m/373080.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174255120s/373080.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/373080.Backcountry_Skiing_Adventures_Vermont_and_New_York_Classic_Ski_and_Snowboard_Tours_in_Vermont_and_New_York 4.00 1 </div>]]> 22447 4.06 358 65 2001 1483233 1888281065 9781888281064 0 <![CDATA[Man Versus Machine: Kasparov Versus Deep Blue]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184080030m/1483233.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1184080030s/1483233.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1483233.Man_Versus_Machine_Kasparov_Versus_Deep_Blue 3.00 1 22447 4.06 358 65 48832 3.23 61 4 1997 6702458 0415455642 9780415455640 0 <![CDATA[The New Rich in China: Future Rulers, Present Lives]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6702458-the-new-rich-in-china 0.0 0 Three decades of reform since 1978 in the People’s Republic of China have resulted in the emergence of new social groups which have included new occupations and professions generated as the economy has opened up and developed and, most spectacularly given the legacy of state socialism, the identification of those who are regarded as wealthy. However, although China’s new rich are certainly a consequence of globalization, there remains a need for caution in assuming either that China’s new rich are a middle class, or that if they are they should immediately be equated with a universal middle class.



Including sections on class, status and power, agency and structure and lifestyle The New Rich in China investigates the political, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the emergent new rich in China, the similarities and differences to similar phenomenon elsewhere and the consequences of the new rich for China itself. In doing so it links the importance of China to the world economy and helps us understand how the growth of China’s new rich may influence our understanding of social change elsewhere. This is a subject that will become increasingly important as China continues its development and private entrepreneurship continues to be encouraged and as such The New Rich in China will be an invaluable volume for students and scholars of Chinese studies, history and politics and social change.

China Rising examines the extent to which China's future foreign policy stance may be shaped by its own agendas and constrained through interdependence and interaction with the outside world. It considers the Chinese foreign policy establishment's reactions to interdependence, the roles of the Army in foreign policy, the development of the navy, arms control policy, resource dependency, China's role in international trade and economic organizations, and its role in the region.]]> 22447 4.06 358 65 1997
