Recenzii
"Expand[s] our understanding of both the conditions of oppression and the small yet tangible responses in contemporary East Asia. Scholars and students in the humanities and social sciences will find in this volume rich ethnographic material and conceptual tools for thinking about youth, precarity, and alternative futures; activists and educators interested in community engagement and place-making will likewise gain suggestive models and cautionary tales."
"The force of this volume lies as much in the collection of essays as a whole as it does in the individual arguments; diverse, sometimes uncertain, they present a true politics of the everyday. Above all, it insists on the endurance of particularity—of a potentiality not defined by, or contained by, the seemingly totalizing ubiquity of global capital; these are stories of our time."
"Spaces of Creative Resistance is a refreshing book about social critique that does more than just critique dominant structures and systems—it shows how communities in Asia have created social change in daily life. The book masterfully illustrates how the everyday has been regenerated as a site of contestation and social renewal and therefore provides fresh insights on the tension between authority and counter-authority."

Descriere
This edited volume brings together an exciting cross-regional inter-disciplinary group of scholars, scholar activists, artists and others. Each chapter focuses on a different form of “creative resistance” to the last two decades of social disconnection, increased income disparity and new burdens placed on reproductive labor and the environment taking place in China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Each chapter demonstrates how individuals and communities across East Asia are making their stands in the everyday--focused on making more liveable presents and more possible futures.
