> Articles
> in 17.3 are:
>
> * "Kissinger, China, Congress, and the Lost Chance for Cambodia," by
> Chris A. Connolly (University College, Cork, National University
> of Ireland). Connolly uses fresh evidence to suggest that
> Kissinger may have reason to claim that the US Congress had some
> responsibility in the failure of negotiations in 1973.
>
> * "Contesting Famine: Hunger and Nutrition in Occupied Japan,
> 1945-1952," by Chris Aldous (University of Winchester) is a study
> of how rhetoric shapes policy. Connolly analyzes the history and
> function of terms and key words which American Occupation
> authorities used in conceiving and debating food policy.
>
> * "Birth Control and Socialism: The Frustration of Margaret Sanger
> and Ishimoto Shizue's Mission," by Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci (Brown
> University) is the winner of the Frank B. Gibney Student Essay
> Award for 2010. Her article is a fresh interpretation of how two
> activists reached across the Pacific to liberate the women of Asia
> and America but fell into traps of cultural arrogance and nationalism.
>
> We've also started a new section which will from time to time reprint
> documents and brief memoirs. Kicking things off is Anson Burlingame's New
> York speech of 23 June 1868. The speech is a ringing defense of China's
> entrance into global commerce and diplomacy which seems strikingly
> contemporary. For the background, see John Schrecker's article on
> Burlingame's diplomacy in JAEAR 17.1 (2010). We'd be happy to have your
> suggestions for future documents or memoirs.
>
> Book Reviews include Roger Dingman's review essay on Takeo Iguchi,
> _Demystifying Pearl Harbor: A New Perspective from Japan_ (Tokyo:
> International House, 2010). Ambassador Iguchi, who was in Washington in
> 1941
> as a child, combines personal memoir and archival research to provide a
> careful revisionist account of the clash between Japanese diplomats and
> military.
