Synopsis

Spaces of Creative Resistance: Social Change Projects in 21st Century East Asia brings together an exciting cross-regional inter-disciplinary group of scholars, scholar activists, artists and others for a collection which addresses the last two decade’s hollowing out of social connections, socio-economic income gaps, and general precarity of life in East Asia societies. Written by authors from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, each chapter is focused on those making a difference together in socially sustainable ways, particularly in the areas of gender, labor, and environments -- both built and natural. These projects all constitute acts of creative resistance to neoliberal development, and each act of creative resistance demonstrates how individuals and communities across East Asia are making new worlds and lifeways in the small and everyday. Taking on larger political and economic forces that affect their lives and communities, each project and group of individuals featured here is focused on making more liveable presents and more possible futures.
