Since the early 1950s, Alaska and Japan have engaged in both economic and cultural exchanges that have made lasting impacts on the 49th State. For the nearly 75-year-long relationship, Japan was Alaska’s number one trade partner by the measure of its exports, worth at its height in 1992, well over $3 billion. From products like timber, fish, and natural gas, Alaska had the raw resources that Japan lacked, while Japan had the industrial economy that Alaska needed. Diminishing public and scholarly interest of Alaska-Japan relations, however, has resulted in the neglect of this recent period of Alaska’s economic and diplomatic history. As such, this thesis asks: 1. How and why did Alaska’s relationship with Japan develop and evolve over time? 2. In what ways did that relationship grow beyond its foundation in trade? 3. How did this relationship affect Alaska and what are its legacies? Using the Jack London Hypothesis of economic cycles, this thesis provides a history of Alaska-Japan relations and asserts that in periods of economic bust, when Alaska was forced to seek alternate streams of revenue, it actively pursued foreign trade with Japan, but that in times of economic boom Alaska neglected its relationship with Japan. During these periods of decreased attention to trade, however, the two partners sustained their relationship through the preexisting cultural, diplomatic, and business institutions that were built in the preceding boom period. Additionally, this research demonstrates that while Alaska’s economic cycles drove its pursuit of international trade, Japan’s receptiveness to these trade overtures also depended on its own waxing and waning economic conditions.

Tokyo today is one of the world’s mega-cities and the center of a scintillating, hyper-modern culture—but not everyone is aware of its past. Founded in 1590 as the seat of the warlord Tokugawa family, Tokyo, then called Edo, was the locus of Japanese trade, economics, and urban civilization until 1868, when it mutated into Tokyo and became Japan’s modern capital. This beautifully illustrated book presents important sites and features from the rich history of Edo, taken from contemporary sources such as diaries, guidebooks, and woodblock prints. These include the huge bridge on which the city was centered; the vast castle of the Shogun; sumptuous Buddhist temples, bars, kabuki theaters, and Yoshiwara—the famous red-light district.

International migration and other types of cross-border movement of people are becoming an important part of international relations in Northeast Asia. In this particular study, experts on China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and Russia examine the political, economic, social and cultural dimensions of the interaction between border-crossing individuals and host communities, highlighting the challenges that face national and local leaders in each country and suggesting needed changes in national and international policies. The authors analyze population trends and migration patterns in each country: Chinese migration to the Russian Far East, Chinese, Koreans, and Russians in Japan, North Koreans in China, and migration issues in South Korea and Mongolia. The book introduces a wealth of empirical material and insight to both international migration studies and Northeast Asian area studies.

It is important to see China’s activities in the Pacific Islands, not just in terms of a specific set of interests, but in the context of Beijing’s recent efforts to develop a comprehensive and global foreign policy. China’s policy towards Oceania is part of a much larger outreach to the developing world, a major work in progress that involves similar initiatives in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. This groundbreaking study of China’s “soft power” initiatives in these countries offers, for the first time, the diverse perspectives of scholars and diplomats from Oceania, North American, China, and Japan. It explores such issues as regional competition for diplomatic and economic ties between Taiwan and China, the role of overseas Chinese in developing these relationships, and various analyses of the benefits and drawbacks of China’s growing presence in Oceania. In addition, the reader obtains a rare review of the Japanese response to China’s role in Oceania, presented by Japan’s leading scholar of the Pacific region.

Saul will be taking you on an eighty-year verbal trip. You must fasten your reading seat belt because as you vicariously take this reading trip with him, some of the paths, lanes, dirt roads, highways, and expressways will be very bumpy; however, the scenes will be historically interesting. Billy, no Saul, no Mr. Bethay, no Airman Bethay, no Dean Bethay, no Big Ears, no the Dancer are a few of the names he is known by; what one calls him lets him know where he knows them from. When you finish reading Why I Have So Many Names, you may want to call him something else yourself too because he will take you back with him to the Cook County Training School, to Fort Valley State College, to Michigan State College, to Teachers College Columbia University, to Jersey City State College, and to the University of Hawaii. Airman Bethay will let you experience being in the Air Force for four years. The typist taught himself to type sixty-five words per minute on a manual typewriter. Mr. Saul will show you what it is like to teach high school boys and adults how to become better farmers. Dean Bethay will let you know what it is like to be an appreciated advisor in colleges and universities; counseling in junior high schools and colleges was Mr. Bethay's claim to fame. The professor ran workshops. The coordinator will share with you the personality it takes to work with different groups at the same time. The director was in charges of many programs for children and adults. The evaluator inspected summer camp programs for youth. The proofreader was in charge of editing books. "Honey" was noted for his great parties. The cook could hold his own in the kitchen. Watch out for the dancer when he is shooting pool. Doc spends most of his retirement time playing billiards and bid whist. The weekends are spent in the off and on Broadway theaters, concerts, and museums. The model at eighty-three-plus is still being asked to participate in fashion shows. Monday nights are reserved for Scrabble. Your generous purchasing donations will be used to help some needy students at Fort Valley State University, not the author. The author tries to live up to Fort Valley State (College) University's motto: If I have helped somebody as I traveled these eighty years, then my travel has not been in vain.
