Book Description
Unthinking Collaboration uncovers the little-known history of Japanese Americans who weathered the years of World War II on Japanese soil. Severed from the country of their birth when the attack on Pearl Harbor abruptly halted all passenger traffic on the Pacific, these Nisei faced the years of total war as members of the Japanese populace, yet as the target of anti-American propaganda and suspicion. Whereas their white American counterparts were sequestered by Japanese authorities, placed on house arrest, or sent home on exchange ships during the war, American Nisei in Japan were left to contribute to the war effort alongside their Japanese neighbors as soldiers, cryptographers, interpreters, and in farming and manufacturing. When the dust of air raid bombings cleared, many such Nisei transitioned into roles in service of the Allied occupation and its goals of democratization and demilitarization. As censors, translators, interpreters, and administrative staff, they played integral roles in facilitating American-Japanese interaction, as well as in shaping policies and public opinion in the postwar era. Weaving archival data with oral histories, personal narratives, material culture, and fiction, Unthinking Collaboration emphasizes the heterogeneity of Japanese immigrant experiences, and sheds light on broader issues of identity, race, and performance of individuals growing up in a bicultural or multicultural context. By distancing “collaboration” from its default elision with moral judgment, and by incorporating contemporary findings from psychology and behavioral science about the power of the subconscious mind to influence human behavior, author A. Carly Buxton offers an alternative approach to history—one that posits historical subjects as deeply embedded in the realities of their physical and discursive environment. Walking beside Nisei as they navigate their everyday lives in transwar Japan, readers “un-think” long-held assumptions about the actions and decisions of individuals as represented in history. The result is an ambitious historical study that speaks to readers who are interested in broader questions of race and trust, empire-building, World War II and its legacy on both the Western and Pacific fronts, and to all who consider questions of loyalty, treason, assimilation, and collaboration.

Book Description
'The complex interplay of the formation and communication of knowledge, the structure of social interaction, and the evolution of the division of labour, is here skilfully explored in a broad historical, philosophical and analytical framework by a truly international meeting of minds, enabling an encounter with great thinkers, past and present, commencing with Hume and Smith. A heady and unusual elixir, finely distilled, and to be slowly enjoyed if its sophisticated benefits are to be fully gathered by the reader.' - Peter Groenewegen, University of Sydney, Australia Knowledge, Social Institutions and the Division of Labour gives rise to a new and richer institutional analysis of the economy centred around the analysis of language, the division of labour and social knowledge. It is in this perspective that the economic analysis of institutions comes to be associated with the study of civil society, or with the broad framework of communication and coordination behind the interaction of individuals in economic and non-economic spheres. This fascinating book is divided into three parts beginning with the issue of the development of science as an aspect of the division of labour, starting from methodological problems on the communication of scientific knowledge. The volume goes on to explore issues on the moral bases of social interaction and, more particularly, of commercial society before ending with in depth analyses of questions on the division of labour, social institutions and the diffusion of knowledge in society.

Book Description
There is so much poverty in the world because we were obsessed with knowledge. Every Holy Scripture from Bible to the Bhagavad Gita warns us against crowding the mind with knowledge. They all tell us that we must shift from knowledge to wisdom. Knowledge is just a range of information. It can be good or bad, useful or useless. The ability to choose knowledge as per objectives is the first step towards achieving wisdom. The creative use of correct choice of knowledge is its second step. The final step of wisdom is to persist till the objective is achieved. The best place to achieve wisdom is in the class room. This is possible if teachers do not insist on teaching through lectures and testing children through examinations by forcing them to learn by rote like parrots. The teacher must ensure that the student learns by reading speaking, thinking, writing and listening in groups. The teacher must become a facilitator in the process of learning. This will create vibrant and wise children who will make our mother earth a great place to live in. This book tells you how this can be achieved by the students. It also tells you how you can replicate the steps provided by the book for learning by students in acquiring wisdom in your own lives.
