PUBLICATIONS Books
Faith, Will, and Revolutionary Change: Modernity, Salvation, and Liberation in East and West. (New Tentative Title) Under contract for publication by Princeton University Press. The book offers a comparative analysis of the theme of spiritual regeneration in the thought of revolutionary Marxist thinkers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Making systematic comparisons among thinkers who stressed the need for revolution in the cultural and spiritual realm in these diverse settings, the book draws on the perspectives offered by liberation theology in Latin America and Black theology in South Africa to examine the marriage between Marxian analyses of socioeconomic crisis and the new importance of the transcendent. The responses of these thinkers to the modernist view that mistrusts the non‐rational as the motive force behind social injustice and extremist violence are considered so that the potential contribution of these non‐Western perspectives to Marxism and to the broader Western discourse on modernity as a whole can be assessed. Competing Modernities in Twentieth‐Century Japan, three‐volume conference volume under contract with the University of Hawaii Press. As Series Co‐Chair, major contributor to conceptualization, planning, and execution of Volume I: Taisho Demokurashii, based on conference held at Westin Maui, November 1‐5, 1995. In progress. Editor of Volumes 2 and 3. The State, Identity, and the National Question in China and Japan. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1994. A systematic, comparative approach to both Chinese and Japanese political thought and practice to study a hitherto neglected aspect of the adaptation of Western political philosophy and radical thought to a non‐European context. Focusing on the nature and role of the nation‐state, the study explores the ways in which Chinese and Japanese radical political theorists attempted to reconcile their relatively new appreciation for the nation‐state (and its historical value for China and Japan) with their allegiance to Marxism and its vision for a modernizing, internationalist, socialist revolution.
