THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY AND INTELLECTUAL HIS- TORY OF A PIONEERING AMERICAN YOGI, TIBETAN BUDDHIST, AND REBEL PERSONALITY. In 1937, Theos Casimir Bernard (1908–1947), the self- proclaimed “White Lama,” became the third American in history to reach Lhasa, the capital city of Tibet. Dur- ing his stay, he amassed the largest collection of Tibetan texts, art, and artifacts in the Western hemisphere at that time. He also documented, in both still photography and 16mm film, the age-old civilization of Tibet on the eve of its destruction by Chinese Communists. Based on thou- paul g. hackett sands of primary sources and rare archival materials, White Lama recounts the real story behind the purported adventures of this iconic figure and his role in America’s religious counterculture. “The narrative jumps off the page, During his brief span, Bernard met, associated, and cor- and Hackett is at his best as he tells responded with the major social, political, and cultural this story, weaving his account of leaders of his day, from the regent and high politicians Bernard’s many encounters with of Tibet to the saints, scholars, and diplomats of Brit- exceptional men into the broader ish India, from Charles Lindbergh and Franklin Delano context of espionage, diplomatic Roosevelt to Gandhi and Nehru.

THE FAMED SOCIOLOGIST’S UNPUBLISHED, ETHNOGRAPHIC WORK, REFLECTING THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF HIS INFLUENTIAL APPROACH TO STUDYING SOCIAL PROBLEMS. As a soldier in the French army, Pierre Bourdieu took thousands of photographs documenting the abject condi- tions and suffering (as well as the resourcefulness, deter- mination, grace, and dignity) of the Algerian people as they fought the Algerian War (1954–1962). Sympathizing with those he was supposed to regard as “enemies,” Bour- dieu instead became deeply and permanently invested in their struggle to overthrow French rule and the debilita- tions of poverty. Upon realizing the inadequacy of his education in mak- ing sense of this wartime reality, Bourdieu immediately undertook the creation of a new ethnographic-sociologi- From the foreword cal science—one that became synonymous with his work over the next few decades—capable of explaining the “These images are valuable in them- mechanics of French colonial aggression and the impres- selves.

As McCool shows, the the Future of Water in the West history, culture, and fate of America is tied to its rivers, and their restoration is a microcosm mirroring American beliefs, livelihoods, and an increasing awareness of what two hundred years of environmental degradation can do. McCool profiles the individuals he calls “instigators,” who initiated the fight for these waterways and, despite enormous odds, have succeeded in the near-impossible task of challenging and changing the status quo. Part one recounts the history of America’s relationship to its riv- ers; part two describes how and why Americans “parted” them out, destroying their essence and diminishing their value; and part three proves society can live in harmony with its waterways and restore their well-being—and, by extension, the well-being of those who depend on them.

His most Washington College of Law remarkable contribution uncovers Hollywood’s reliance on self-regulation. Rather than involve congress, judges, or juries in settling copyright disputes, studio heads and filmmakers have often kept such arguments “in house,” turning to talent guilds and other groups for solutions. Whether the issue has been battling piracy in the 1900s, controlling the threat of home video, or managing mod- ern amateur and noncommercial uses of protected con- tent, much of Hollywood’s engagement with the law has occurred offstage, in the larger theater of copyright. Decherney’s unique history recounts these extralegal so- lutions and their impact on American media and culture.

THE FASCINATING HISTORY BEHIND A PROLIFIC MOVIE-PALACE SHOWMAN AND RADIO STAR WHO TRANSFORMED THE MOVIEGOING EXPERIENCE, RADIO BROADCASTING, AND AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE. Samuel “Roxy” Rothafel (1882–1936) built an influential and prolific career as film exhibitor, stage producer, radio broadcaster, musical arranger, theater manager, war pro- pagandist, and international celebrity. He helped engi- neer the integration of film, music, and live performance with silent-film exhibition; scored early Fox Movietone films such as Sunrise (1927); pioneered the convergence of film, broadcasting, and music publishing and record- ing in the 1920s; and helped movies and moviegoing be- come the dominant form of mass entertainment between the world wars.

Roxy scored motion pictures; produced enormous stage shows; managed many of New York’s most important movie houses; directed or edited propaganda films for the Ameri- can war effort; produced short and feature-length films; exhibited foreign documentary, independent, and avant- garde motion pictures; and expanded the conception of mainstream, commercial cinema. He was also one of the chief creators of the radio variety program, pioneering ra- dio broadcasting, promotions, and tours between 1922 and 1935 and helping to establish the careers of radio, dance, and music figures, such as Eugene Ormandy, Jan Peerce, James Melton, Erno Rapee, Hugo Riesenfeld, Maria Gam- barelli, and the Rockettes.

A PROVOCATIVE STUDY OF THE IDEOLOGICALLY MOTIVATED, BIG-BUSINESS-DOMINATED, EXPANSION- IST IMPULSES OF AMERICAN PHILANTHROPY. Inderjeet Parmar reveals the complex interrelations, shared mindsets, and collaborative efforts of influential public and private organizations in the building of Amer- ican hegemony. Focusing on the involvement of the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations in U.S. foreign af- fairs, Parmar marks the transformation of America from an “isolationist” nation into the world’s only superpower, all in the name of benevolent stewardship.

Parmar begins in the 1920s with the establishment of these foundations and their system of top-down, elitist, scientific giving, which focused more on effecting social, “Theoretically sophisticated, impres- political, and economic change than in solving modern sively researched, and lucidly society’s structural problems.

ESSAYS THAT REIMAGINE THE SUBSTANCE AND LEGITIMACY OF A DISCIPLINE NOW CHANGING THE COURSE OF CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT. Human beings have long imagined their subjectivity, eth- ics, and ancestry with and through animals, yet not until the mid-twentieth century did contemporary thought reflect critically on animals’ significance in human self- conception. Thinkers such as French philosopher Jacques Derrida, South African novelist J. M. Coetzee, and Ameri- can theorist Donna Haraway have initiated rigorous inqui- ries into the question of the animal, now blossoming in a number of directions. It is no longer strange to say that if animals did not exist, we would have to invent them. This interdisciplinary and cross-cultural collection reflects “The significance of Animals and the growth of animal studies as an independent field and the Human Imagination is not to the rise of “animality” as a critical lens through which to be underestimated.

26 | SPRING 2012 Sinning in the Hebrew Bible How the Worst Stories Speak for Its Truth Alan F. Segal

LOCATING THE SOURCE OF THE BIBLE’S SINGULAR POWER IN ITS DARKEST, MOST HAUNTING PARABLES. Stories of rape, murder, adultery, and conquest raise cru- cial ethical issues in the Hebrew Bible, and their interpre- tation guides many societies in forming their religious and moral convictions. From the sacrifice of Isaac to the adultery of David, narratives of sin engender vivid analy- sis and debate, powering the myths that form the basis of the religious covenant, or the relationship between a people and their God. Rereading these stories against different forms and con- texts, Alan F. Segal demonstrates the significance of sin- ning throughout history and today. Drawing on literary and historical theory, as well as research in the social sci- ences, he explores the motivation for creating sin stories, “Alan Segal’s approach to myth is their prevalence in the Hebrew Bible, and their possible very illuminating for the “The Worst, meaning to Israelite readers and listeners.

28 | SPRING 2012 The Dao of the Military Liu An’s Art of War Edited by Andrew Seth Meyer Foreword by John S. Major

RECOVERING A NEGLECTED EARLY CHINESE TEXT ON STRATEGY THAT APPRECIATES THE MORAL AND SPIRITUAL COMPLEXITIES OF WAR. Master Sun’s The Art of War, the best-known ancient text on adversarial strategy, is by no means China’s only trea- tise on military affairs. A single chapter in the Huainanzi, an important compendium of philosophy and political theory written in the second century B.C.E., synthesizes the entire corpus of military literature inherited from the Chinese classical era. Drawing on all major, existing military writings, as well as other lost sources, it assesses tactics and strategy, logistics, organization, and politi- cal economy, as well as cosmology and the fundamental morality of warfare. “The Dao of the Military summarizes This powerful work set out to become the last word on and reflects on many aspects of military matters, subsuming and therefore replacing all the theory and practice of warfare preceding literature.

AN EXAMINATION OF THE FORCES ENDANGERING LIBERAL REFORM AND THE BALANCE OF POWER IN POSTCOMMUNIST EUROPE. How has Hungary, a country once understood as the van- guard of postcommunist political and economic reforms, become the chilling example of the new threats now destabilizing democracies across Central Europe? The unwelcome return of Hungary’s long-buried demons— nationalism, ethnic hatred, deeply rooted corruption, and authoritarian tendencies—has raised legitimate concerns internationally. Since winning a two-thirds majority in parliament in the spring of 2010, right-wing populist prime minister Viktor Orban has embarked on a sweeping and ruthless concentration of power and has sought to reshape the state according to the principles of his own private vision. “Paul Lendvai is one of the grand old A new constitution, along with a vast series of laws and men of Central European journalism, decrees that include radical changes in the judicial and author of a stack of books translated electoral system and the dismantling of constitutional into a dozen languages.

72 | SPRING 2012 Visions of the Ottoman World in Renassiance Europe european history Andrei Pippidi Andrei Pippidi follows conceptions of the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries and ties the roots of these images to patterns in western intellectualism. A pathbreaking book, his volume reconsiders the writing of Erasmus, Luther, and Machia- velli, individuals we take to be intellectuals yet who mostly did not travel or have direct contact with the Ottoman Em- pire. Nor were these figures well-disposed to the Ottoman's predecessor, the Byzantine Empire, whose fall presented an intellectual conundrum: how to explain the impressive advance of the Ottomans across the Balkans and the in- ability of Christian Europe to hold the line against them? Christians also felt compelled to incorporate this signifi- cant new threat into their vision of the world, to rationalize and unravel its origins. These issues and events spawned a common market of ideas in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, as Europeans debated and represented the new “One of he most fascinating schol- Ottoman age.

74 | SPRING 2012 Eileen Chang hong kong university press Romancing Languages, Cultures, and Genres Edited by Kam Louie

Eileen Chang (1920–1995) is arguably the most perceptive writer in modern Chinese lit- erature. She was one of the most popular writ- ers in 1940s Shanghai, but her insistence on writing about individual human relationships and mundane matters rather than revolution- ary and political movements meant that in mainland China she was neglected until very recently. Outside the mainland, her life and writings never ceased to fascinate Chinese readers. There are hundreds of works about her in the Chinese language but very few in other languages. This is the first work in Eng- lish to explore her earliest short stories as well as novels that were published posthumously. Contributors include Jessica Tsui Yan It discusses the translation of her stories for Li, Nicole Huang, Esther M. K. Cheung, film and stage presentation, as well as non- Shuang Shen, Xiaojue Wang, Gina literary aspects of her life that are essential for Marchetti, Hsiu-Chuang Deppman, a more comprehensive understanding of her Laikwan Pang, Tze-lan Sang, David Der- writings, including her intense concern for wei Wang, and Leo Ou-fan Lee. privacy and enduring sensitivity to her pub- lic image. The thirteen essays examine the fidelity and betrayals that dominate her alter ego’s relationships with parents and lovers, in- formed by theories and methodologies from a range of disciplines including literary, histori- cal, gender, and film studies. These relation- ships are frequently dramatized in plays and filmic translations of her work. kam louie is dean of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Hong Kong and author of Theorising Chinese Masculinity.

“The work is original and insightful, and its broad cov- erage should help it to find a relatively wide reader- ship.” —Chris Berry, Goldsmiths, University of London

This book sheds light on “contact moments” between Japanese male-queer culture and that of the West in the postwar period and critiques various contemporary ex- amples of persistent Orientalism and nativism. Focus- ing on a range of Japanese as well as English male-queer materials, including magazines, memoirs and cyber- texts, Suganuma shows how the interactions of the two cultures affected the subject formation process of queer selves. The instances examined range from the hentai magazines of the 1950s and their depiction of men who had sex with foreign men (mostly American servicemen); the depiction of race in the magazine Barazoku; John Whittier Treat’s memoir of his sabbatical in Japan and his “I found myself nodding in enthu- depiction of his own Orientalism; the writings and strate- siastic agreement on almost every page.

Scandinavian countries are often noted as cases of successful modern- ization processes. However, these references to a “Scandinavian mode” tend to focus on the mid-twentieth century after World War II. In Skirbekk’s view, the uniqueness of moderniza- tion processes in Scandinavia, for instance in Norway, is better conceived by focusing on the ninteenth century, with a continuation into the twentieth century.
