This is more than a book. This is a blazing voyage.
Growing up in apartheid-era Chatsworth, Kumi Naidoo tells how his mother’s suicide when he was just 15 years old acted as a catalyst for his journey into radical action against the apartheid regime. In this revelatory and intimate story, Kumi describes his political awakening, and his experiences as a young community organiser and underground ANC activist during the 1980s.
His grief and anger became fuel for his efforts to help liberate South Africa and to build a better world.
With rapid technological and cultural advancements, the 21st
century has witnessed the wide scale development of
transnationalist economies, which has led to the concurrent
evolution of language and literacy studies, expanding
cross-cultural approaches to literacy and communication. Current
language education applies new technologies and multiple modes of
text to a diverse range of cultural contexts, enhancing the
classroom experience for multi-lingual learners. The Handbook of
Research on Cross-Cultural Approaches to Language and Literacy
Development provides an authoritative exploration of cross-cultural
approaches to language learning through extensive research that
illuminates the theoretical frameworks behind multicultural
pedagogy and its myriad applications for a globalized society. With
its comprehensive coverage of transnational case studies, trends in
literacy teaching, and emerging instructive technologies, this
handbook is an essential reference source for K-20 educators,
administrators in school districts, English as a Second Language
(ESL) teachers, and researchers in the field of Second Language
Acquisition (SLA). This diverse publication features comprehensive
and accessible articles on the latest instructional pedagogies and
strategies, current empirical research on cross-cultural language
development, and the unique challenges faced by teachers,
researchers, and policymakers who promote cross-cultural
perspectives.

This significant and timely volume focuses on the unique trajectory
of tourism development in Japan, which has been characterized by an
historical emphasis on promoting both domestic and international
tourism to Japanese tourists, followed by the more recent policy of
competing aggressively in the international incoming tourist
market. Initial chapters present an overview of past and present
tourism, including policy and research perspectives. Thematic
perspectives on tourism and specific contexts and places in which
tourism occurs are then examined. Strains of Japanese tourism such
as sport, surf, forest, mountain, urban, tea, pilgrimage and even
whaling heritage tourism are among those analyzed. The book also
explores tourism's role in confronting difficult pasts and
presents, and the challenges facing the development of tourism in
contemporary Japan. A short postscript outlines some of the
challenges and possible future directions tourism in Japan may take
in light of the COVID-19 crisis. Written by a team of well-known
editors and contributors, including academics from Japan, this
volume will be of great interest to upper-students and researchers
and academics in development studies, cultural studies, geography
and tourism.
This volume provides protocols for mouse models of allergic
diseases and guidelines for choosing a particular strains,

analyze pathophysiology of allergic diseases, manipulation of
intestinal microbiota, and desensitization of immure responses in
animal models. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to
their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and
reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols,
and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Animal Models of Allergic Disease:

In this book Ryoshin Minami studies the last hundred years of
Japan's remarkable economic growth from the Meiji period up to the
present day. First, he reveals the factors which account for
Japan's successful economic take-off during the Meiji period.
Second, he explains why Japan achieved a more rapid rate of
economic growth than other developed countries. This forms the
major part of the book and will interest those in the developed
countries who have felt the full force of Japan's export drive and
whose own industries are consequently in decline. Finally, the
author evaluates the results of Japan's economic growth and makes
predictions for its future. The book makes a comprehensive survey
of the Japanese experience in the pre- and post-war periods and
points out lessons not only for developed countries but also for
developing countries.

Values-rich journeys can be described as pilgrimage, spiritual
travel, personal heritage tourism, holistic tourism, and valuistic
journeys. There are many motivations for undertaking these
journeys; the most important being personal values, life
experience, personal and social identity, lifestyle, social and
cultural influence. This book presents contributions that address
pilgrim motivation, identity and values as they are shaped by the
broader sociological, psychological, cultural and environmental
perspectives. The focus of the book is the travellers themselves
and their inner world through the lens of their pilgrimage. The
research presented focuses on the typology of pilgrim journeys as
ways in which identity and values are presented to a post-modern
consumer society, providing interesting and challenging
perspectives on the identity of pilgrims in the 21st century. The
book: - Provides a framework for understanding the impact of values
and identity on the motivation and behaviour of contemporary
pilgrims. - Presents a comprehensive review of the latest research,
a collection of case studies and models of practical applications.
- Discusses the perceptions of tourism and pilgrimage in the age of
value transformations and identity challenges.
