Such Fsupport, predicated on a truly capacious vision of how this collection functioned as both conversation starter and field interrogator, was unwaver- ing from proposal to final submission. This aspirational engagement with collection topic and project focus was likewise reflected in all our inter- actions with Ashley Petrucci, Gary Kramer, and other members of the Tem- ple University Press team, including most recently Sarah Munroe, who has maintained momentum and commitment. Admittedly, The Subject(s) of Human Rights reflects the provocative suggestions put forth by the anony- mous readers, who pushed us (as editors) and our contributors to clarify the intellectual, academic, and activist stakes of such human rights inquiry and critique. To that end, the contributors to this collection have very much been part of this larger publishing journey; the originality of their ideas coupled with the willingness to revise made this a joyous editing endeavor. Jamie Armstrong, editorial project manager at Amnet Systems, deserves consider- able praise for guiding the manuscript at a critical production stage. We are also indebted to the unparalleled generosity of Dinh Q. Lê, whose “Burma,” from the evocative Fragile Spring series, serves as the cover for this collection. This collection is very much the culmination of a conversation that began in Taiwan at the 2015 Summer Institute in Asian American Studies (SIAAS), which was in major part funded by The Ministry of Science and Technology in Taiwan (MOST 102-2420-H-009-004-MY3), National Taiwan Normal University and the College of Liberal Arts at National Taiwan University. viii | Acknowledgments Accordingly, The Subject(s) of Human Rightsis wonderfully beholden to those who comprise the SIAAS collective: Guy Beauregard, Pin-chia Feng, Shyh-jen Fuh, Hsiu-chuan Lee, and Andy Chih-ming Wang. As Guy Beau- regard eloquently characterizes, this critical conversation would not have happened without them; it would also not have occurred without the work of SIAAS participants who, in substantive and substantial ways, helped re- frame, rethink, and re-engage with many of the pressing issues addressed in this collection. The Ministry of Science and Technology in Taiwan (MOST 104-2410-H-003-034-MY3 and MOST 107-2410-H-002-048-MY3), along with the College of Liberal Arts at National Taiwan University, provided key support to conceptualize, edit, and contribute to this collection and is grate- fully acknowledged.

  • TODAY, HE TOOK IT to DUCH June 30
    THIRTY YEARS AGO, DUCH TOOK HIS TOENAILS; TODAY, HE TOOK IT TO DUCH June 30, 2009 By Laura MacDonald, Member of the New York Bar and Consultant to the Center for International Human Rights, Northwestern University School of Law In some respects, today was a lot like yesterday as a packed public gallery again listened to the testimony of an aging male survivor of Tuol Sleng prison (S-21) spared only because of a useful skill. However, mechanic Chum Mey’s testimony was much, much more than a repeat of artist Vann Nath’s testimony yesterday. With Chum Mey’s testimony, finally, the passion and anger of an S-21 victim has been properly injected into the trial of prison chief Kaing Guek Eav (alias Duch). Chum Mey’s Story When the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975, 79-year-old civil party Chum Mey was a mechanic working in Phnom Penh. Chum Mey and his family were forced to evacuate the city, but a series of tragedies and events brought him back to Phnom Penh to fix sewing machines and other equipment in a Khmer Rouge factory where the black clothes worn by the soldiers were produced. After over three years there, Chum Mey was called away from the factory under the pretext of fixing a Khmer Rouge vehicle. He was delivered to a place he later learned was S-21 where he was arrested, accused of being CIA or KGB, handcuffed, blindfolded, photographed, and stripped to his underwear. Chum Mey was shackled in a two meter by one meter individual cell containing only an ammunition box for feces and a plastic jug for urine.

  • The Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia: a Trial of Errors
    The Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia: A Trial of Errors by: Elizabeth Kelliher-Paz On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge entered the cities of Cambodia and forced people to abandon their homes and businesses to live in cooperatives in the countryside.1 Three years later, Vietnamese forces invaded and KR leader Pol Pot fled the country; by this time, over 1.7 million people had been executed or died from torture, starvation, illness, or exhaustion.2 The Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) was formed in 2003 by the Royal Cambodian Government in conjunction with the United Nations to bring the perpetrators to justice.3 This paper will focus on the ECCC’s first case, against Comrade Duch, as illustrative of the Court’s problems with corruption, achieving international legitimacy, and failing to convict criminals for genocide. I. Background History of the Khmer Rouge & Cambodia To fully comprehend the atrocities of the Cambodian genocide, it is important to understand the context in which the Khmer Rouge formed and came to power. As a former colony of France (part of what was called “French Indo-China”) and as a country formerly occupied by Japan during World War II, Cambodia has gone through several governmental changes that influenced the Khmer Rouge ideology. The Indochinese Communist Party (ICP) was formed in Vietnam in 1930, and its influence spread to other East Asian nations.4 In Cambodia, the ICP opposed the French government, and the French jailed many of its members.5 When the Japanese came to power in March 1945, they released some of the ICP guerillas from jail, mostly due to the Japanese superior 1 David Chandler, The Khmer Rouge in a Cold War Context, 2 (2011), (unpublished speech, transcript at: www.cambodiatribunal.org/sites/default/.../genocide_education.pdf ).

  • Khmer Rouge Jail Survivor 'Tortured' Patrick Falby June 30, 2009
    Khmer Rouge jail survivor ‘tortured’ Patrick Falby June 30, 2009 A rare survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime's main jail says torturers ripped out his toenails and gave him electric shocks to make him confess to being a Soviet and US agent. Former mechanic Chum Mey described to Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes tribunal on Tuesday how he pleaded for his life as he was tortured for 12 days and nights at the 1975- 79 communist movement's Tuol Sleng detention centre. The 79-year-old is the second survivor to give evidence at the trial of prison chief Duch, who is accused of overseeing the torture and extermination of 15,000 people who passed through the facility. "Because I kept telling them I didn't know about the KGB and the CIA, they used pliers to twist my toenails. The nail was completely detached from my toe, they pulled it out," Chum Mey said. He then stood in the centre of the courtroom and removed his sandals to show that his toenails had grown back deformed. "I have been paying so much attention to the court and I would really like the court to find justice for me," said Chum Mey, who has been regularly attending hearings since they began in February. The former inmate described how he buried his two-year-old son who died of illness as the hardline Khmer Rouge emptied the capital Phnom Penh in 1975, and talked of his two daughters who disappeared under the regime. Chum Mey said he had been working at a sewing machine factory when he was brought to Tuol Sleng in 1978, while his pregnant wife was held in an adjacent "re-education centre".

  • Transcultural Intertextuality: Reading Asian North American Poetry
    TRANSCULTURAL INTERTEXTUALITY: READING ASIAN NORTH AMERICAN POETRY by Xiwen Mai A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Susan Y. Najita, Chair Professor Laurence Goldstein Professor Shuen-Fu Lin Associate Professor Sarita See © Xiwen Mai 2010 To My Parents ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the unwavering support, encouragement, and advice of my dissertation committee. My greatest intellectual debt is to Professor Susan Najita, the chair of my committee. She has not only ushered me through every step of graduate school—from the coursework of the very first semester to the completion of this dissertation—but also challenged me to think deeply about my position as a critic. Her incisive questions and invaluable comments on every draft of my chapters have sharpened my thinking and made this project a better one. Professor Laurence Goldstein has been a thoughtful and thorough reader whose passion for both studying and writing poetry inspires me. For his generous investment in this project‘s development, I owe him more than I can say. I am also fortunate to have Professor Sarita See as a committee member. It was during her seminar on Asian American literary criticism that the thought of studying Asian North American poetry first occurred to me. Our numerous conversations ever since have always brought me a renewed sense of purpose. For her wonderful humor and energy, I will always be grateful. Professor Shuen-Fu Lin has been a great source of inspiration for me as well with his vast and profound knowledge of poetry in both English and Chinese.

  • The Muse of Fire: Liberty and War Songs As a Source of American History
    3 7^ A'£?/</ THE MUSE OF FIRE: LIBERTY AND WAR SONGS AS A SOURCE OF AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Kent Adam Bowman, B.A., M.A Denton, Texas August, 1984 Bowman, Kent Adam, The Muse of Fire; Liberty and War Songs as a Source of American History. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 1984, 337 pp., bibliography, 135 titles. The development of American liberty and war songs from a few themes during the pre-Revolutionary period to a distinct form of American popular music in the Civil War period reflects the growth of many aspects of American culture and thought. This study therefore treats as historical documents the songs published in newspapers, broadsides, and songbooks during the period from 1765 to 1865. Chapter One briefly summarizes the development of American popular music before 1765 and provides other introductory material. Chapter Two examines the origin and development of the first liberty-song themes in the period from 1765 to 1775. Chapters Three and Four cover songs written during the American Revolution. Chapter Three describes battle songs, emphasizing the use of humor, and Chapter Four examines the figures treated in the war song. Chapter Five covers the War of 1812, concentrating on the naval song, and describes the first use of dialect in the American war song. Chapter Six covers the Mexican War (1846-1848) and includes discussion of the aggressive American attitude toward the war as evidenced in song.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.
