central asian textiles tereza hejzlarova snezhanna atanova

For thousands of years, the peoples of Central Asia have created spectacular textiles for every aspect of life. Infinite care, resources and time have gone into making elaborate costumes (connoting the wearer’s identity and place in society), equestrian items, and exquisite furnishings for settled as well as nomadic lifestyles. Items of dress were decorated literally from top to toe: boots were embroidered with metal thread, while hats were stitched, appliquéd and felted. The women of a family would come together to embroider dazzling suzanis to form part of a bride’s dowry; master dyers and weavers would craft vibrant ikat hangings. Combined, these objects tell an evocative story of life along the Silk Road in times past.This book brings together outstanding textiles from the Neville Kingston Collection, featuring many previously unpublished pieces. It is the second volume to document this exceptional English collection; Turkmen Carpets: The Neville Kingston Collection was published in 2016.

For more than a hundred years, Central Asia was the heartland of the mightiest military power on the planet. But after the fragmentation of the all-conquering Mongol polity, the region began a steep decline which rendered this former domain of horse lords peripheral to world affairs. The process of deterioration reached its nadir in the second half of the nineteenth century, when the former territories and sweeping steppes of the great khans were overrun by Tsarist Russia. In the concluding volume of his acclaimed Central Asia quartet, Christoph Baumer shows how China in the east, and Russia in the northwest, succeeded in throwing off the Mongol yoke to become the masters of their own previous rulers. He suggests that, as traditional transcontinental trade routes declined in importance, it was the `Great Game'' - or cold war between Imperial Russia and Great Britain - which finally brought Central Asia back into play as a region of strategic importance. This epic history concludes with an assessment of the transition to modern independence of the Central Asian states and their struggle to contain radical Islamism.

This Element assesses the claim that Central Asian countries hold a special position as Russia''s near abroad. The region has been important for millennia, and only after conquest in the second half of the nineteenth century did Russia become important for Central Asia. This connection became stronger after 1917 as Central Asia was integrated into the Soviet economy, with rail, roads, and pipelines all leading north to Russia. After independence, these connections were gradually modified by new trade links and by new infrastructure, while Russia''s demand for unskilled labour during the 1999–2014 oil boom created a new economic dependency for Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic. In 1991, political independence could not be accompanied by economic independence, but over the next three decades economic dependence on Russia was reduced, and the Central Asian countries have felt increasingly able to adopt political positions independent of Russia.

Kniha je souborem sedmnácti esejů zaměřených nejen na oblast čínského umění, zejména krajinomalbu, ale i na jiná specifická témata tohoto asijského národa. Tematika života a díla slavných čínských umělců zaujímá obsáhlou část tvorby Josefa Hejzlara a stejně tak i zásadní část této knihy. Během studií na Pekingské univerzitě měl autor možnost seznámit se s mnohými čínskými umělci, mohl sledovat jejich dílo nebo s nimi dokonce tvořit. Některé vzpomínky jsou tak zároveň fascinující výpovědí o jejich životě. Neméně inspirativní je Hejzlarovo líčení putování po Hedvábné stezce pouští Gobi nebo strhující popisy některých uměleckých děl, která dokážou diváka doslova vtáhnout do svých krajin.

Big Asian Energy speaks to Asian American''s unique challenges and unlocks our untapped potential, so that we can finally claim the empowerment we need to succeed. Asians are now a force in the box office, winning Oscars, dominating global music charts, and have reached the office of Vice President of the United States.

An inclusive and landmark history, emphasizing how essential Asian American experiences are to any understanding of US historyOriginal and expansive, Asian American Histories of the United States is a nearly 200-year history of Asian migration, labor, and community formation in the US. Reckoning with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the surge in anti-Asian hate and violence, award-winning historian Catherine Ceniza Choy presents an urgent social history of the fastest growing group of Americans. The book features the lived experiences and diverse voices of immigrants, refugees, US-born Asian Americans, multiracial Americans, and workers from industries spanning agriculture to healthcare.Despite significant Asian American breakthroughs in American politics, arts, and popular culture in the twenty-first century, a profound lack of understanding of Asian American history permeates American culture. Choy traces how anti-Asian violence and its intersection with misogyny and other forms of hatred, the erasure of Asian American experiences and contributions, and Asian American resistance to what has been omitted are prominent themes in Asian American history. This ambitious book is fundamental to understanding the American experience and its existential crises of the early twenty-first century.

In the twenty-first century, it is necessary for Asia to step up and assume a larger leadership role on the global stage, commensurate with its economic weight and interests. Eighty-eight percent of the increase in the numbers of the middle class in the next five years will take place in Asia, underscoring the reality that global business and leadership will be colored in significant ways by Asian values, approaches and strategies. This book explores how this may impact our view and conceptual approach to the notion of global leadership. The contributors to this collection explore and examine the concept of global Asian leadership and outcome implications at the societal, corporate and policy-making level. They argue that global leaders will increasingly focus on specific needs, values and strategies that are uniquely Asian, which emphasizes the reality that we most likely will have to redefine our notion of global leadership. This comprehensive study of the integration of Asian and global leadership will benefit those employed in the corporate, government and educational sectors as well as a broader audience with an interest in leadership, policy-making and economics.

''Chinese'' or ''Any other Asian''. The boxes that people of vastly varied East and South East Asian heritage have to tick when declaring their ethnicity on many forms in the UK.This represents a shameful sweeping together of a diverse heritage and experience. East and South East Asian people have lived and worked in the UK for centuries, fought for the British Army in both world wars, have influenced British culture through food, writing, music and art in a multitude of ways. And yet this influence is often overlooked.People of ESEA heritage experience unique forms of racism. Asian food is mocked as unhealthy and Asian restaurants as dirty. ESEA women are exoticised and sexualised, and assumed to be the nanny of their mixed-race children. The community was scapegoated for the Covid-19 pandemic.Anna Sulan Masing addresses these issues in a comprehensive way. She explores what it means to be East and South East Asian in Britain today, and celebrates the varied experiences that make up ESEA identity.

"An electrifying archive of queer cultural productions... These radical and minor transnational artistic practices by East and Southeast Asian queer diasporic cultural producers emerge in new light through Bao’s brilliant theoretical insights." - Alvin K. Wong, author of Unruly Comparison: Queerness, Hong Kong, and the SinophoneThe COVID-19 pandemic has intensified global geopolitical tensions, bringing Sinophobia and anti-Asian racism into sharp focus. At the same time, a growing Asian diasporic consciousness is emerging worldwide, celebrating Asian identity and cultural heritage. Yet, in the space between anti-Asian racism and the rise of Asian advocacy, the voices of queer people have often been largely missing.This book addresses that gap. Exploring a range of contemporary case studies from art, fashion, performance, film, and political activism, Bao offers a powerful intersectional cultural politics—anti-nationalist, anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, and queer—that challenges dominant narratives and amplifies marginalized voices.The Social Science for Social Justice series challenges the Ivory Tower of academia, providing a platform for academics, journalists, and activists of color to respond to pressing social issues. Â

A recovery of the vital role Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Americans played in US intelligence services in Asia during World War II.Spies deep behind enemy lines; double agents; a Chinese American James Bond; black propaganda radio broadcasters; guerrilla fighters; pirates; smugglers; prostitutes and dancers as spies; and Asian Americans collaborating with Axis Powers.All these colorful individuals form the story of Asian Americans in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of today''s CIA.

A sweeping account of how the sea routes of Asia have transformed a vast expanse of the globe over the past five hundred years, powerfully shaping the modern worldIn the centuries leading up to our own, the volume of traffic across Asian sea routes—an area stretching from East Africa and the Middle East to Japan—grew dramatically, eventually making them the busiest in the world. The result was a massive circulation of people, commodities, religion, culture, technology, and ideas. In this book, Eric Tagliacozzo chronicles how the seas and oceans of Asia have shaped the history of the largest continent for the past half millennium, leaving an indelible mark on the modern world in the process. Paying special attention to migration, trade, the environment, and cities, In Asian Waters examines the long history of contact between China and East Africa, the spread of Hinduism and Buddhism across the Bay of Bengal, and the intertwined histories of Islam and Christianity in the Philippines. The book illustrates how India became central to the spice trade, how the Indian Ocean became a “British lake” between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, and how lighthouses and sea mapping played important roles in imperialism.

An insightful exploration celebrating the diverse and dynamic cultural impact of South Asian artists and filmmakers in twentieth-century Britain.This book will introduce readers to an array of South Asian artists active in the twentieth century, all of whom demonstrate such variety that they challenge the unifying category ‘South Asian’. From Punjabi war veterans who came to fill labour shortages in the interwar period, through to South Asians from Uganda who settled in Britain after expulsion by Idi Amin in 1972, this book will explore how the South Asian diaspora responded to hostility and discrimination by turning to artistic production. Using a variety of media, they made artworks which demanded the colonial constitution of art history be interrogated, and the lives of South Asians to be transformed.These artworks, together with those by contemporary artists that draw from and reorient their ancestral legacies, have contributed to incisive theories of race, gender, nationhood and aesthetics – all of which come to bear on present debates on power in the art world and beyond.

Data from the Current Population Survey were used in a unique analysis of migration and economic adaptation in a nationally representative sample of Asian and Hispanic immigrant women. The study describes migration patterns and compares the labor market adaptation experiences of women who migrated with their families and women who migrated independently. The book also examines the systematic differences in migration patterns by country of origin and how these differences relate to labor market performance The findings highlight the considerable impact of immigration policy on the economic adaptation of immigration women. Wives who migrated before their husbands were more likely to be in the labor force, especially when compared to wives migrating after their husbands. In contrast, wives who migrated with their husbands were not likely to participate in the labor force. Interestingly, Asian immigrant wives, were more likely to migrate while married than were Hispanic immigrant wives. Asian wives who migrated after their husbands, earned substantially lower wages than their respective ethnic counterparts (Ph.D. Dissertation, Cornell University, 1995; revised with new preface and index)

Vysoce účinná impregnace textilu, kůže a stanů na ochranu před vlhkostí, promočením a zašpiněním.. Revoluční způsob impregnace textilu a kůže Pojem nanotechnologie je v poslední době skloňován stále častěji. Tato inovativní technologie přináší naprosto nové možnosti i do tradičních odvětví jako je impregnace textilu a kůže. Oproti tradičním metodám impregnace textilu a kůže, nano impregnace nepracuje na úrovni molekul, ale na atomární úrovni. Využívá totiž efektu lotosového květu, který zajišťuje mnohem účinnější odpuzovací efekt a samočistící vlastnosti. Kolem vláken ošetřeného materiálu vytvoří neviditelný ochranný film, který je mnohem odolnější než po běžné impregnaci a navíc zůstává prodyšný, takže impregnovaný materiál dýchá a neplesniví. Díky extrémně odpuzujícímu efektu nano impregnace zabraňuje vniknutí vlhkosti, skvrnám od kávy, červeného vína, mastnotě - jednoduše všem nečistotám. Navíc čištění naimpregnovaného materiálu nebylo nikdy snadnější - pouze hadřík a voda! Ve zkratce Nano impregnace textilu a kůže si zachovává své ochranné vlastnosti na ošetřeném textilu si po pěti praních. Nano impregnace textilu a kůže využívá efektu lotosového květu, který způsobuje samočistící vlastnosti ošetřeného materiálu.

Focusing entirely on these plant- based dishes, Ching draws inspiration from across Asia to create simple, everyday, healthy home cooking that features protein-rich ingredients such as tofu, seitan, pulses, beans and grains.The inspiration behind the book is Ching''s husband, Jamie. From birth, he suffered from asthma and eczema but three and a half years ago, three months after adopting a vegan diet, he was cured. Ching has always believed in the age-old Chinese maxim that "food is medicine", and having experienced first-hand the transformation of her husband''s health, she firmly believes in the healing power of plants to reduce inflammation, to restore, nourish and replenish.This book is full of inspiring, quick and simple recipes, perfect for vegetarians, vegans and people looking to reduce the amount of meat in their diets.

The term ''Asian century'' was first coined by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1985 when discussing the Asian economic leap forward. From 1988, diplomats and the media also started using the term, further to the successful Deng Xiaoping-Rajiv Gandhi summit held that December in Beijing, for which Vappala Balachandran, under Prime Minister Gandhi''s express directions, led a small team of officials for more than a year of discreet ''off-line'' talks with key Chinese counterparts--separate from the official diplomatic engagement. The Chinese-Indian thaw, which lasted until 1998, prompted highly optimistic visions of a ''China-India Century of Cooperation'' enabling both powers to compete with the US and EU in terms of trade and military capacity. None of this happened, and instead the China-India relationship is highly rancorous, punctuated by trade spats and border skirmishing between the People''s Liberation Army and the Indian Army. New Delhi has gravitated towards the US in the hope of checkmating an assertive Beijing''s pursuit of global military and trade dominance. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of India and China''s comparative strategic capabilities, sharing many insights drawn from the author''s first-hand engagement with and research into the questions discussed.

A visionary look at Central Park’s creation as an urban success story inspiring bold climate actionClimate change is the existential crisis of our time. With extreme heatwaves, wildfires, hurricanes, and floods displacing millions, many wonder: What can I do? Ten Thousand Central Parks challenges the despair of inaction, using the history of Central Park as an unlikely yet urgent environmental parable. Created in the years immediately before, during, and after the Civil War, Central Park IS a radical experiment in urban renewal, transforming a chaotic and polluted terrain into an 843-acre refuge. More than a scenic landmark, it was a visionary public project that provided jobs, green space, and a lasting environmental legacy. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the park was America’s first large-scale public works project, undertaken at a time of national crisis and built almost entirely by immigrants. Its creation offers a powerful lesson: even in turbulent times, cities can be reimagined, and large-scale ecological transformations are possible. With over half of the world’s population living in cities today, predicted soon to reach nearly 70%, urban green spaces are more crucial than ever. Morris argues that Central Park is not just an artifact of the ... Unknown localization key: "more"
