Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, 1995. Exploring the dynamics of development and dependency, this book traces the experience of Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule. Chih-ming Ka shows how, unlike in other sugar-producing colonies, Taiwan was able to sustain its indigenous family farms and small-scale rice millers, who not only survived but thrived in competition with Japanese sugar capital. Focusing on Taiwan’s success, the author reassesses theories of capitalist transformation of colonial agriculture and reconceptualizes the relationship between colonial and indigenous socioeconomic and political forces. Considering the influence of sugar on the evolution of family farms and the contradictory relationship between sugar and rice production, he explores the interplay of class forces to explain the unique experience of colonial Taiwan. 226 pp. Illustrated.

Binghampton, New York: Global Publications, Binghampton University, 2001. Scholarly study presents a detailed analysis of coherent unity in rabbinic theology, characterizing rabbinic theology as "organic thinking" or "harmonious thinking". In light of the organic coherence of rabbinic theorlogy, the individual concepts reveal a structure otherwise not to be discerned. Careful analysis yielded the conviction that this Midrash does possess coherence, but of an entirely different kind from that produced by logical, systematic thought. 211 pgs. . First Edition.

Binghampton, New York: Global Publications, Binghampton University, 2001. Scholarly study examines each rabbinic text or sequence of homilies in order to uncover specific value concepts which are reflected in them either explicitly or implicitly. After skillfully revealing these value concepts, Kadushin proceeds to elucidate them in light of the midrashic context under consideration, and then discusses their meanings and significance within the entire rabbinic value complex. These explications, based upon Kadushin’s conceptual approach, clarify the frequently obscure nexus between the biblical citations which initially served as verbal stimuli and the rabbinic comments which appear to be so far removed from them. Furthermore, particularly when analyzing rabbinic texts in which conceptual terms are employed, Kadushin adroitly demonstrates the similarities and differences in meaning and nuance between the distinctive levels of usage. In addition, Kadushin’s notes underscore the organismic… Read More
