    Analyzes an enigmatic figure at the peak of his influence in China, showing how his improvisational approach to political problems brought remarkable successes, but also ultimate defeat. From 1935 to 1950, Chiang Kai-shek steered China's development as a nation and shaped global history, yet he remains an enigmatic figure remembered primarily for losing a brutal civil war. A reinterpretation is overdue. Chiang Kai-shek's Critical Years sheds new light on his call for mobilization against Japan in 1937 and his relations with US representatives during the war, his efforts first to accommodate and then to defeat the Chinese Communist Party, and his ability to hold on to the presidency of the Republic of China after 1949, despite disastrous military failure. This examination of Chiang's daily planning and reflection on events reveals astute improvisation that ensured political survival despite setbacks and weaknesses. The sharpened sense of Chiang's agency that emerges from this important study provides an invaluable foundation for further analysis of the military and political institutional structures he helped build.

    An innovative examination of continuing calls for justice in the wake of state redress and reconciliation agreements in Canada. Indigenous peoples and Japanese Canadians have demanded justice from the Canadian state for its discriminatory systems of colonization and racial management. Critics have argued that state apologies co-opt those demands. In addition, many Canadian institutions still attempt to control narratives about residential schools and other violence committed against Indigenous peoples, and about the internment of Japanese Canadians. After Redress examines how struggles for justice continue long after truth and reconciliation commissions conclude and state redress is made. Contributors to this trenchant volume analyze the complex, often paradoxical redress process from the perspectives of the communities involved. Mechanisms for reconciliation are defined by the settler state, but how do Indigenous peoples and Japanese Canadians reject or conform to Western liberal notions of social justice?
