Abstract:
In a unique comparison of studies drawn from both Taiwan and China, Brown's book shows how identity is shaped by social experience - not culture and ancestry, as is commonly claimed in political rhetoric
Description / Table of Contents:
What's in a name? : culture, identity, and the "Taiwan problem"Where did the aborigines go? : reinstating plains aborigines in Taiwan's history -- "We savages didn't bind feet" : culture, colonial intervention, and long-route identity change -- "Having a wife is better than having a god" : ancestry, governmental power, and short-route identity change -- "They came with their hands tied behind their backs" : forced migrations, identity changes, and state classification in Hubei -- Theory and the politics of reunification : understanding past choices and future options.
