> From the back cover:
>
> Childbirth in Republican China: Delivering Modernity is the study of
> a pivotal period (1911–1949) in which traditional midwifery, marked
> by private, unregulated old-style midwives, was transformed into
> modern midwifery through the adoption of a highly medicalized and
> state-sponsored birth model that is standard in urban China today. in
> the twentieth century, biomedical technologies altered the process of
> childbirth on virtually every level. What had been a matter of
> private interest, focusing on family and lineage, became a national
> priority, a symbol of the new citizen who would participate in the
> creation of a revitalized nation. This transformation of reproduction
> coalesces with the broader story of China's twentieth-century
> revolutions, marked by an emphasis on science and modernity. The
> roles of the state and Western medical personnel were paramount in
> affecting these changes, but equally important were the intense
> social and cultural shifts that occurred simultaneously. The dominant
> themes of reproduction in twentieth-century China are characterized
> by expanding state involvement, shifting gender roles, escalating
> consumption patterns accompanying the commercialization of private
> lives, and the increasing medicalization of the birth process.
>
> "This well-researched book is an important addition to the literature
> on state building and mod- ernization in modern China. Focusing on
> the introduction and development of the biomedical birth model in the
> Republican period, it provides a stimulating case study of the

> "Colonial Policing In The Dutch East Indies: The Case Of The Ambonese
> Gewapende Politie (1893-1946)"
> by Martin Thiry, 2011 Library of Congress Florence Tan Moeson Fellow
> Date: Friday, September 9, 2011
> Time: 1:00-2:00pm
> Location: Asian Reading Room Foyer, LJ-150, 1st Floor, Jefferson Building,

> [Metro stop: Capitol South on the Blue/Orange Line.]
>
> Summary:
> The role of ethnic minorities in colonial policing is integral to the rise
> of the nation-state and an expression of agency on the part of minority
> groups in the development of the nation-state. During the late colonial
> period an amalgamation of ethnic minorities, referred to collectively as
> the Ambonese, were employed as policing agents. In this capacity the
> Ambonese have been understood as subject forces and less as actors,
> obscuring a fuller history of the Ambonese as colonial police. The ways
> in which they served in the years 1873-1945 helped lay foundations for the
> Indonesian nation-state. The Dutch were trying to form and keep together
> the colonial state; with the help of the Ambonese they served to cohere
> Indonesia.
> The introduction of armed police units, fortified in ever greater numbers
> by the Ambonese (personnel from Ambon, greater Maluku, Manado, and Timor),
> allowed the start of the pacification of the archipelago, particularly in
> the Outer Islands where the Dutch had so far exercised no more than
> nominal control. Ambonese would serve prominently in the Marechausse and
> later in the much more robust gewapende politie, critically in their own
> home areas.
> About the presenter:
> Martin Thiry graduated from Harvard in 2000 and joined the New Orleans
> Police Department where he was a patrolman and a robbery detective. He
> will complete his PhD in History at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and
> the East-West Center in Spring 2012.

> Extensive land and maritime networks have crisscrossed Asia for
> centuries,
> providing the basis for encounters between diverse ethnic, linguistic,
> economic, religious, and political groups. Today, developments such as
> new infrastructural projects, an increase in media access, and renewed
> interest in shaping cross-border cultural identities serve to both
> underscore these long-standing linkages and create new forms of
> connections across Asia. During the 3rd Asian Borderlands Research
> Conference in Kunming, we invite submissions that address
> continuities and ruptures along routes and borders in Asia, broadly
> related to the theme, "Connections, Corridors, and Communities".
>
> * Connections: How are Asian borderlands made more (or less) visible
> through the study of cross-border connections? In what ways does the
> idea of the "borderland" remain resilient throughout political and
> historical ruptures? What are the characteristics of various kinds of
> connections that are being created (as well as cut off) in Asian
> borderlands?
>
>
> * Corridors: Are networks and paths throughout Asian borderlands being
> forged, reopened, diverted, or closed, and what are the effects of such
> processes? Can one conceive of "corridors" in relation to maritime or
> island borderlands, information technology networks, or bodily
> borders in Asia?
>
> * Communities: What constitutes a "community" or "communities" in and
> across Asian borderlands, and how might these be contingent upon
> other factors, such as politics, environmental issues, and history?
> What are some of the barriers and restrictions to the creation of
> communities in the context of Asian borderlands? In what ways is a
> community defined by the state, by organizations, and/or by local
> individuals?
>
> Since one of the main goals of this conference is to spur collaboration
> and
> conversation across diverse fields in the hope of building up a more
> nuanced
> picture of the intersections and relationships across Asian borderlands,
> submissions are invited from scholars, writers, policy studies
> researchers,
> artists, filmmakers, activists, the media, and others from a wide variety
> of
> disciplinary backgrounds. We invite conceptually innovative papers, based
> on
> new research, in order to develop new perspectives in the study of Asian
> Borderlands.
>
> Only a small number of individual papers will be selected. We therefore
> encourage you to submit a full panel or roundtable proposal. We will
> consider proposals for panels and roundtables that have a thematic focus,
> are of a comparative character, and involve scholars or practitioners
> affiliated with different institutions.*
>
> *New to this Asian Borderlands conference, the roundtable format is
> intended to allow for a more open forum on a broader theme. Typically,
> panelists will each address the main issue or topic of the roundtable,
> and the remainder of the time is open for an informal discussion
> between the panel members and a more extended question-and-answer
> period with the audience. Some examples of wide themes in relation
> to Asian borderlands may include, but are not limited to: migration;
> security; gender; technology; environmental issues, etc.
>
> Please visit http://asianborderlands.net to submit proposals.
>
> The deadline is 1 December 2011.
>
>
> Participants will be notified towards the beginning of the year 2012.
>
> Very limited financial support may be made available to specific scholars
> residing in Asia and some junior or low-income scholars in other parts of
> the world. If you would like to be considered for a grant, please submit
> along with your abstract for a panel and/or paper a short letter stating
> the motivation for your request. Please also specify the kind of funding
> that you have applied for or will receive from other sources. Please note
> that the conference operates on a limited budget, and will not normally be
> able to provide more than a partial coverage of the costs of travel.
