Playing Changes: Music As Mediator Between Japanese And Black Americans, E Taylor Atkins

Faculty Books & Book Chapters

Since the mid-twentieth century, music has played a central role in encounters and interactions between the people of Japan and those of African descent. It proved far more effective for pro- moting interracial dialogue and understanding than efforts in the early 1900s to foster an alliance against white supremacy and imperialism. This essay unpacks the ways that encounters with Black music transformed Japanese musicking and generated knowledge and empathy for people of African descent among Japanese. Personal interactions between Black and Japanese musicians constituted a process of “grassroots globalization” that circumvented the dominance of American mass media in representing African …

A Daughter Of The Samurai, Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto

Zea E-Books Collection

Born in 1874 the youngest daughter of a samurai and former daimyo—a feudal prince under the Takugawa shogunate—Etsu Inagaki grew up surrounded by ghosts of an aristocratic military lineage. Having fought on the losing side in the wars that installed the Meiji emperor, the ­Inagaki family was reduced in power, status, and wealth but not in pride or ­devotion to its traditional roles and customs. Etsu’s upbringing and education were conservative and old-fashioned, guided by the Shinto and Buddhist beliefs her family held. The samurai virtues of honor, ­stoicism, and sacrifice applied to daughters and wives as well as sons …

Reminiscences Of Lafcadio Hearn, Setsuko Koizumi, Paul Kiyoshi Hisada, Frederick Johnson

Zea E-Books Collection

Setsuko Koizumi (1868–1932) was the daughter of a Japanese samurai family in Matsué. In 1891 she married a foreigner — Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904) — and their union lasted 13 years and produced three children. Hearn adopted her family name, becoming Koizumi Yakumo 小泉八雲,and spent those years in Japan writing, teaching, and achieving international recognition. Setsuko’s Reminiscences tells something of the couple’s moves and travels, but focuses mostly on the character, habits, and eccentricities of her husband. The book is a heartfelt and intimate portrait of a marriage that brought Lafcadio the home and family he had never before enjoyed. This …

Kokoro: Hints And Echoes Of Japanese Inner Life, Lafcadio Hearn, Koizumi Yakumo

Zea E-Books Collection

The works of Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo) played a critical role in introducing his adopted Japan to a worldwide audience. In Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life, he writes, “The papers composing this volume treat of the inner rather than of the outer life of Japan, — for which reason they have been grouped under the title Kokoro (heart). This word signifies also mind, in the emotional sense; spirit; courage; resolve; sentiment; affection; and inner meaning, — just as we say in English, ‘the heart of things.’” After centuries of isolation Meiji-era Japan was forced to adjust …

Making A Muslim: Reading Publics And Contesting Identities In Nineteenth-Century North India, S. Akbar Zaidi

Faculty Research - Books

Using primarily Urdu sources from the nineteenth century, this book allows us to rethink notions of 'the Muslim', in its numerous, complex and often contradictory forms, which emerged in colonial North India after 1857. Allowing the self-representation of Muslimness and its manifestations to emerge, it contrasts how the colonial British 'made Muslims' very differently compared to how the community envisaged themselves. A key argument made here contests the general sense of the narrative of lamentation, decay, decline, and a sense of self-pity and ruination, by proposing a different condition, that of zillat, a condition which gave rise to much self-reflection …

The Reformation Of Public Memory: Campaign For Redress Shifts Public Memory Of Comfort Women Issue, Sara Shields

Student Research Poster Presentations 2021

The comfort station system established by the Japanese during World War II institutionalized sexual violence against women in order to supposedly prevent both violent rapes and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among Japanese soldiers. There are still arguments and denial over the issue of comfort women today, stating that these women were there of their own free will and were not enslaved. Until recently, they were regarded as “military prostitutes,” and were viewed as a disgrace by their respective cultures. However, evidence gathered since the early 1990s indicates that not only were comfort women sexual slaves of the Imperial …

18_大都會漁港 — 反思香港漁業發展, 羅 家輝

專題講座

1947年，英國殖民地部漁業顧問希克林(Frederick Hickling)來港考察，發現香港的漁業技術，比他到訪過的英國屬土都要先進，他認為1940年代香港的漁業發展水平，大致等同1890年代的英國本土—即英國漁業開始機動化的時代。1995年，美國生態學者沙芬拿(Carl Safina)在西太平洋島國帕勞(Palau)調查，準備撰寫專書《海洋之歌─全球海洋生態發現之旅(Song for the Blue Ocean)，在跟土著青年的對談中，得悉早前香港漁船的活珊瑚魚作業，對當地社會和生態帶來深遠影響……戰後半個世紀香港漁業經歷了甚麼變化是成功還是失敗？進步還是落後？本土還是國際？仍有不少問題值得深思。

常言道: 「香港由小漁村發展成為國際大都會。」誠然，今天香港已不是「小漁村」。2010年施政報告宣佈香港水域禁止拖網後，香港仔、筲箕灣、青山灣陸續湧現鐵殼雙拖漁船，每對拖網漁船投資額約 3,000萬元。主流說法是今天漁業已是「夕陽行業」? 但有人認為今天香港漁業才「開始發展」？問題也許暫無定論，但上船親身了解後，必另有一番體會。

香港高樓大廈林立，人口稠密，卻擁有大片受保護地區，保護各種動植物及地質遺跡。1976年《郊野公園條例》通過，香港郊野公園的規模自此確立。海岸公園及海岸保護區自1980年末開始發展，現時共有五個海岸公園及一個海岸保護區，保護珍貴的海洋動植物。香港的岩石亦具有重大研究價值，政府設立地質公園，保護有過億年歷史的地質遺跡。米埔自然保護區是雀鳥天堂，上世紀各種漁農業活動促成今天的生態面貌；建立香港濕地公園旨在補償天水圍新市鎮發展所損失的生態環境，園內的人工濕地已成為不少動物的棲息之所。

20_基礎教育, 賽馬會香港歷史學習計劃

專題展覽

教育被視為培養人才和推動社會流動的主要途徑，香港的教育發展源遠流長，始於宋朝已有相關的文字記載。直至晚清時期，香港的教育制度與中國各省縣無異，民辦學塾是主要的教育場所。香港開埠後，由華人及宗教團體籌辦的學校紛紛成立，中西式教育並行發展，而港英政府亦逐步承擔教育策劃者的角色。戰後政府分階段發展教育，並以普及化作為發展方向，成功推行九年免費教育。此後，政府不斷增加對教育的投放，市民的教育水平持續提高，為香港社會及經濟發展提供了良好的基礎。

19_運動競技, 賽馬會香港歷史學習計劃

專題展覽

現時不少香港人都熱愛參與足球和游泳等運動，原來許多體育項目最早是由英國人傳入。自1842年香港成為英國殖民地後，各種西式體育項目逐漸引入香港。起初，體育活動只是洋人的消遣娛樂。直至清末民初，中國屢遭西方列強侵略，人們提倡以「體育救國」，體育運動才開始在華人間流行。1960年代以後，政府著手推廣體育事務，不但加快興建各種運動設施，更投放大量資源培育人才，使體育運動愈加普及，香港的運動健兒在不同項目都有出色表現。

17_淪陷歲月, 賽馬會香港歷史學習計劃

專題展覽

1941年12月至1945年8月，香港在日本軍政府的統治下，經歷了三年零八個月的黑暗歲月。日軍不但以殘酷的手段管治香港，又強迫遣返市民歸鄉，加上糧食嚴重不足，導致不少市民無辜喪命。即使有幸生存的人，他們的生活亦苦不堪言。面對物資短缺、物價飆升，以及日軍的嚴密監管，大部分市民都過著三餐不繼、誠惶誠恐的生活。另一方面，為鞏固在港統治，日軍多方面施行日化政策，除了下令採用日式地名，還透過教育和政治宣傳等手段努力灌輸日本文化及價值觀念。 本展覽將會展示日治期間香港社會的狀況，以及市民的日常生活。

15_四大工業, 賽馬會香港歷史學習計劃

專題展覽

「穿膠花」、「剪線頭」是不少老一輩香港人的集體回憶。1950年代，韓戰禁運、內地移民等因素促使香港工業起飛，使這個轉口港搖身一變成為世界工廠。當中「紡織及製衣業」、「塑膠及玩具業」、「鐘錶業」和「電子業」發展尤為突出，獲得了「四大工業」的美譽。這些港製產品價廉物美，遠銷歐美市場，取得了驕人成績，使「香港製造」品牌蜚聲國際。然而隨著內地在1978年推出改革開放政策，香港工廠相繼北移，四大工業亦逐步轉型。本展覽將介紹四大工業的發展，重溫香港製造業的黃金歲月。

16_中英禁區, 賽馬會香港歷史學習計劃

專題展覽

中英街是香港最具特殊意義的一條街。嚴格而言，中英街並不算一條街，它是港深兩地接壤的禁區中的一處邊界，只是中間沒有鐵絲網或圍牆之類的分界物而已。香港只擁有這條街一半的管轄權，另一半屬於深圳。冷戰時期，中英街是分隔世界兩大政治陣營的主要邊界之一；一邊是社會主義的中國，另一邊則由資本主義的英國管治。不過，中英街的邊界線只有疏落的幾座界石，兩邊分屬中港兩地的居民可以自由往來。中國改革開放之初，中英街是內地居民都期望一到的地方。最熱鬧時，一天就有近十萬人湧到這裏購物。本展覽將帶你走過中英街近百年潮起潮的變遷。
