decision to become a Buddhist nun.

The Lotus Sutra in Japanese Culture
George f. Tanabe, Jr., and Willa Jane Tanabe, editors
Japanese and North American scholars from the fields of history, religion,
art, and literature examine the Lotus Sutra in the first systematic attempt
in a Western language to study this important Buddhist text. The essays
describe how doctrine and worship, meaning and ritual, ideology and
power, didactics and aesthetics have been intertwined in the long and fas-
cinating history of the sutra. Illustrated. $25.00, cloth

Brides of the Sea
Port Cities of Asia from the Sixteenth
to the Twentieth Centuries
Frank Broeze, editor
The port cities of Asia described in Brides of the Sea stretch from the Pa-
cific to the Philippines and Japan, and from the east coast of Africa north-
wards to Saudi Arabia. These coastal settlements formed a string of
closely related regional systems connecting their hinterlands to the long-
distance sea routes. The contributors to this pioneering historical work
are economists, sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, and architects
as well as historians. Illustrated. $32.00, cloth

. . . take a closer look at political structures thirty-five years after Inde-
pendence. . . . By presenting each national study in juxtaposition with
those of neighboring South Asian nations, the obvious contrasts and com-
parisons emerge in often dramatic fashion. . . . A welcomed addition to
South Asian scholarship . . . useful to both the scholar and classroom."

Tea in Japan
Essays on the History of Chanoyu
Paul Vailey and Kumukura Isao, editors
Far more than a tea-drinking "ceremony," chanoyu embraces a wide
range of artistic pursuits. Moreover, tea masters of the past were not only
arbiters of taste but confidants of rulers. This first major history of
chanoyu written in English is highly informative on the arts and cultural
history and provides insights into the relationship between culture and
rule in premodern Japan. Illustrated. Available in October. $25.00, cloth

the distinctive charateristics of the common house in Zhejiang province
where village and town settlements reflect the ways in which living and
productive spaces are formed and utilized. Over 300 illustrations. Availa-

A History
of Modern
Tibet
1913-1951
The Demise of the
Lamaist State
MELVYN C. GOLDSTEIN

The "Tibetan Question," the
nature of Tibet's political
status vis-a-vis China, has
been the subject of often
bitterly competing views
while the facts of the issue
have not been fully accessible
to interested observers. In
contrast, this comprehensive
study of modern Tibetan
history presents a detailed,
non-partisan account of the
demise of the Lamaist state.
Drawing on a wealth of
British, American, and Indian
diplomatic records; first-
hand-historical accounts
written by Tibetan partici-
pants; and extensive inter-
views with former Tibetan
officials, monastic leaders,
soldiers, and traders, Gold-
stein meticulously examines
what happened and why.

"A particularly valuable

I think, indispensable to an
understanding of the events

co-editor of Islam, Politics and

Focusing on the state of

China
A Personal Account
C. C. CHEN
In Collaboration with
Frederica M. Bunge

This highly personal account
brings the perspective of a
dedicated clinician to the
challenge of alleviating health
problems in often widely
scattered and undereducated
village populations. It is the
story of practical experimen-
tation in rural health develop-
ment, a story of trial and
error and a continuing search
for the best solutions to
difficult problems. Principles
such as community responsi-
bility and self help, now
promoted in most primary
health care programs, were
fully recognized by Dr. Chen
and his associates more than
40 years before the World
Health Assembly declaration
at Alma Ata in the Soviet
Union in 1977, which called
for "health for all by the year
2000."

WHEN SINGAPORE FELL
Evacuations and Escapes, 1941-42

Joseph Kennedy
From December 7, 1941 to February 15, 1942,
Japanese military forces invaded and conquered
Malaya and Singapore in what Winston Churchill
was to describe as the "worst disaster" of the
Second World War. The British were able to
evacuate a few inhabitants but many individuals
and groups made their own last-minute attempts to
escape from Singapore and subsequent
imprisonment under the Japanese. This book tells
the story of these escapes, quoting first-hand
sources whenever possible.

THE PEASANT SOUL
OF JAPAN

Shoichi Watanabe
Foreword by Louis Allen

Since the publication of the original edition in

hundreds of thousands of Japanese readers.
Japanese academics and professionals agree that
this book explains the complex structure of the
Japanese mind with uncanny insight.

CHILDREN OF THE SUN
The Japanese and the Outside World

Michio Kitahara
The most salient aspect of the Japanese psyche,
according to Kitahara, is what is defined in
psychoanalytic terms as "identification with the
aggressor." Kitahara sets up a historical rationale
for his argument and provides crucial new insights
into "the Japanese Way."

CHINA UNDER
DENG XIAOPING

Political and Economic Reform
David Wen-Wei Chang

Foreword by Robert A. Scalapino

Modern China has gone through stages of chaos
and crisis: from empire, to democratic republic, to
Sovietized Marxian dictatorship, and now is
nearing the end of a Dengist decentralizing reform.
This book looks at the nation's history and assesses
its likely future. Chang suggests that although the
intra-party factional struggle will continue, the
reformers will be successful in the end.

impact on fertility of development programs in Sri
Lanka, electrification and irrigation projects in

CENTER FOR CHINESE STUDIES

FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The Center for Chinese Studies would like to announce a newly-establish-
ed fellowship program designed to assist foreign Sinologists to carry out research
in the R.O.C. The program is open to professors, associate professors, assistant
professors, and doctoral candidates at university departments concerned with
Chinese Studies, which are located outside the Republic of China. The program
is also open to researchers at research institutions outside the R.O.C. that are
related to the field of Chinese Studies.

Research subjects should fall within the field of Chinese Studies. However,
subjects related to contemporary Chinese politics, economics, or the military
are excluded, since the research work of these subjects is sponsored by other
institutions.

The fellowship provides a research subsidy based on the length of research
tenure in the R.O.C, which is set at a period of three months to one year.
Scholars in need of travel funds may also apply for travel grants to the R.O.C.
The final deadline for receipt of applications and all supporting materials is
October 31 of any given year, for research projects beginning after July 1 of
the following year. Further information and application forms may be obtained
by writing the Liaison Division, Center for Chinese Studies, 20 Chungshan

The Peninsular Origins of War

Merrill makes a convincing case for the peninsular as well as the

international origins of the Korean War, and demonstrates that the North

fought to throw them out. These accounts, fascinating and often touched with
humor, are as rich and varied as India itself. To complete the picture and bring
the story up to date, members of a younger generation of Indians take a critical
look at colonial legacies—the English language, for one—and assess their
relevance in modern independent India.

How do firms
become motivated
to adopt small'
group activities?
How do they
acquire expertise
in these
activities?

Strategies for Learning
Small-Group Activities in American, Japanese, and Swedish
Industry
Robert E. Cole
Cole addresses these issues through an examination of small-group activities in
the United States, Japan, and Sweden during the past 25 years. He explores the
differences in the willingness and ability of private sector firms to engage in
building national organizations designed to assist companies adopting small-
group activities. He finds that American firms have been only moderately
willing to engage in such institution building while the Swedes and the Japanese
have shown a far greater willingness. This is especially true of the Japanese, who
have built a highly successful national organization. These striking national
differences reflect the varied historical experience of each country and, perhaps
more important for the future, have serious competitive implications. $29.95

A fresh and
compelling
comparative
analysis of Asian
labor movements.

The Japanese
experience
demonstrates not
only how steep
the price of
success can be
but also the
enduring effects
of culture over
structure.

Beneath the Miracle
Labor Subordination in the New Asian Industrialism
Frederic C. Deyo
This important study examines the dynamics of the remarkable economic
transformation of South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, which has
been based in large measure on the production of manufactured goods for export.
The competitive edge of these countries has in turn been rooted in the
mobilization of a low-cost, disciplined, and productive workforce. Deyo explains
how East Asian governments and employers have attempted to manage this
workforce. He also explores the extent to which workers are able to challenge
management decisions and insert working-class agendas into public policy.

Japan's Administrative
Elite
B. C. Koh
A major player in Japanese society is its government bureaucracy. Neither
Japan's phenomenal track record in the world marketplace nor its remarkable
success in managing its domestic affairs can be understood without insight into
how its government bureaucracy works—how its elite administrators are recruited,
socialized, and promoted; how they interact among themselves and with other
principal players in Japan, notably politicians; how they are rewarded; and what
happens to them when they retire at a relatively young age. Yet, despite its
pivotal importance, there is no comprehensive and up-to-date study of Japan's
administrative elite in the English language. Koh fills that gap. $38.50

MISSIONARIES OF
REVOLUTION
Soviet Advisors and Nationalist
China, 1920-1927
C. Martin Wilbur and
Julie Lien-ying How
During the 1920s the Soviet Union
made a determined effort to stimulate
revolution in China. This was revolu-
tionary Russia's first large-scale inter-
vention in the affairs of a foreign
country and the story of these mission-
aries of revolution constitutes an
engrossing chapter on this little-known
enterprise.

"A true monument of historical schol-
arship that will be read and consulted
by students of this period for a very
long time to come."

AGRARIAN RADICALISM
IN CHINA, 1968-1981
David Zweig
"David Zweig...does a masterful job of
lifting the veil on the political struggles
over the agricultural policy during and
immediately after the Cultural Revolu-
tion. His carefully documented
portrait of this period is critical to an
understanding of the rapid abandon-
ment of collectivism that occurred
when this era of radicalism ended. His
book is the definitive work on the
subject." —Dwight H. Perkins,

expressed in one of its most enduring
forms." —Rosie Llewellyn-Jones,

"Builds upon a growing interest in the
cultures of colonialism. . . . This is the work
of a distinguished historian, who has the
imagination and knowledge to see the
social, political and cultural interrelation
across time and space, and it sets a standard
for all who are interested in the complex
relations between Europeans and the rest of
the world." —Bernard S. Cohn,

Aspects of Realism in

The World Around the Chinese Artist
discusses the central tension of much Chinese
art, the relationship between the physical
reality of the world and the subjective reality
of those who interpret the world through their
art. Edwards focuses on three Chinese
masters of landscape painting, Hsia Kuei,
Shen Chou, and Shi-t'ao, and on their
involvement with the world they sought to
portray.

High Religion
A Cultural and Political History of Sherpa Buddhism
Sherry B. Ortner

Sherry Ortner is the first anthropologist to integrate social scientific and
historical modes of analysis in a study of the Sherpa monasteries and one
of the very few to attempt such an account for Buddhist monasteries
anywhere. Combining ethnographic and oral-historical methods, she
scrutinizes the interplay of political and cultural factors in the events
culminating in the monastery foundings. Her work constitutes a major
advance both in our knowledge of Sherpa buddhism and in the
integration of anthropological and historical modes of analysis.

Meaning and Power in a Southeast
Asian Realm
Shelly Errington

The ruler in the Indie States of Southeast Asia was seen not as the "head of
state" but as the center or navel of the world. Like polities, persons and
houses were and are viewed as centered spaces (locations) where spiritual
potency can gather. Shelly Errington explores the politics of constituting and
maintaining such centered socio-political spaces in a former Indie State
called Luwu, which lies in South Sulawesi (Celebes), Indonesia. The meaning
of political life and the ways its cultural forms were and are sustained
depend on locally construed ideas of "power" or spiritual potency and
"the person," which the author explores in detail.
