1:16:35

Passing, Posing, Persuasion: Cultural Production and Coloniality in Japan's East Asian Empire (U Hawaii Press, 2023) interrogates the intersections between cultural production, identity, and persuasive messaging that idealized inclusion and unity across Japan’s East Asian empire (1895–1945).

19d ago1:10:14

1:10:14

Anxiety may have been abounding in the old Cold War West that progress - whether political or economic - has been reversed, but for citizens of former-socialist countries, murky temporal trajectories are nothing new. Grounded in the multiethnic frontier town of Hunchun at the triple border of China, Russia, and North Korea, Ed Pulford traces how se…

They think we are idiots. You are seeing a coverup taking place before your very eyes. In 1963 evil forces were able to pull a fast one. We as a nation were very naive. Today everyone has a high quality camera and recording device and independent journalists are all of us. It is harder to pull off an assassination today. Too many eyes on the crime.…

Viren Murthy, "Pan-Asianism and the Legacy of the Chinese Revolution" (U Chicago Press, 2023) 1:28:22

1M ago1:28:22

1:28:22

Recent proposals to revive the ancient Silk Road for the contemporary era and ongoing Western interest in China’s growth and development have led to increased attention to the concept of pan-Asianism. Most of that discussion, however, lacks any historical grounding in the thought of influential twentieth-century pan-Asianists. In Pan-Asianism and t…

South Korea is sometimes held as a dream case of modernization theory, a testament to how economic development leads to democracy.

How do election campaigns in South Korea look like? Why have satellite parties become an important instrument of power politics? What do the election results mean for the Yoon government’s ability to implement its policy agenda?

4M ago1:11:04

1:11:04

Histories of North Korea typically focus on one man — Kim Il Sung — and one narrative — his grand rise to absolute power. Andre Schmid’s new book, North Korea's Mundane Revolution: Socialist Living and the Rise of Kim Il Sung, 1953-1965 (University of California Press, 2024), tells a much more complex and richly textured story. Moving away from the…

Well, we are still here. Eclipse be damned. The MSM tried desperately to make us all believe that the end was near. I even heard someone on "The View" blame the eclipse on climate change. You can’t make this shite up. I am on the road and making a podcast from the seat of an automobile…. An internal combustion driven vehicle. I know, I am so 20th c…

Attending my first caucus in Missouri was interesting and it gave me insight into why nothing can get done in Congress. No one listens. No one understands.

Yes, Nikki Haley loves losing. She lost big time despite convincing large numbers of Dems to vote for her in South Carolina. When you outspend your opponent 30 to 1 and lose by double digits you might want to rethink your immediate plans. But her assignment is to hurt Trump at all costs. Will the American public fall for this? Thirty percent will f…

“The things that are happening to North Korea are happening to all of us…they are part of the human community.

Nikki can’t say no. I bet she was fun in high school. How many times must you be humiliated before you throw in the towel? Yet, the money keeps rolling in and she keeps trying to convince us that she has a chance. Trump gets hit with a $355 million fine and apparently NYC DA thinks that’s a win for NY? Ross Perot said it best. “You will hear the su…

Name a competent leader either foreign or domestic. I dare you. We are being led by psychopaths, maniacs and freaks. The DOJ is a joke.

Killing a political enemy is common in history. But is that what Putin actually did? If so, is the West contemplating the demise of Donald J. Trump? The circumstances are remarkably similar. Would the Deep State kill an opponent? I say yes.

While we will probably learn nothing new from the Tucker Carlson interview of Vladimir Putin this move makes Tucker Carlson bigger than Joe Rogan. Nikki Haley fails miserably and will continue on to fail more. Is King Chuck dead? If he were do you think we would know immediately? I doubt it.

Sometimes the medicine is hard to swallow. But the medicine is the cure. Donald Trump is that medicine. He is the chemo that is actually poison, but could save your live.

The invention of an easily learned Korean alphabet in the mid-fifteenth century sparked an "epistolary revolution" in the following century as letter writing became an indispensable daily practice for elite men and women alike.

I am as empathetic as the next guy but I do believe there should be limits.

Anyone who tells you that 2024 is going to be a wonderful year is either naive or in denial.

While I have always been a ardent critic of Elon Musk and his "smoke and mirrors" empire I need to admit that a broken clock can be correct twice a day.
