"Is Taiwan Chinese? : The Impact of Culture, Power, and Migration on Changing Identities" (Interdisciplinary Studies of China) (Paperback), by Melissa J. Brown [[ "Assistant Professor of Anthropological Sciences at Stanford University. http://tinyurl.com/bcopy She is the editor of Negotiating Ethnicities in China and Taiwan ]]>2. (1996). ; University of California Press (February 4, 2004): http://tinyurl.com/dj6y2 "" Book Description The "one China" policy officially supported by the People's Republic of China, the United States, and other countries asserts that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of it. The debate over whether the people of Taiwan are Chinese or independently Taiwanese is, Melissa J. Brown argues, a matter of identity: Han ethnic identity, Chinese national identity, and the relationship of both of these to the new Taiwanese identity forged in the 1990s. In a unique comparison of ethnographic and historical case 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.

Chingb [[ "Assistant Professor of Japanese in the Department of Asian and African Languages and Literature at Duke University" http://tinyurl.com/8dgzz ]]; University of California Press (June 18, 2001): http://tinyurl.com/9qaj9 "" Editorial Reviews: the Vancouver Sun "Draws on literary sources as well as historical documents to show what the Taiwanese coping strategies were." Book Description In 1895 Japan acquired Taiwan as its first formal colony after a resounding victory in the Sino-Japanese war. For the next fifty years, Japanese rule devastated and transformed the entire socioeconomic and political fabric of Taiwanese society. In Becoming Japanese, Leo Ching examines the formation of Taiwanese political and cultural identities under the dominant Japanese colonial discourse of assimilation (dôka) and imperialization (kôminka) from the early 1920s to the end of the Japanese Empire in 1945. Becoming Japanese analyzes the ways in which the Taiwanese struggled, negotiated, and collaborated with Japanese colonialism during the cultural practices of assimilation and imperialization. It chronicles a historiography of colonial identity formations that delineates the shift from a collective and heterogeneous political horizon into a personal and inner struggle of "becoming Japanese." Representing Japanese colonialism in Taiwan as a topography of multiple associations and identifications made possible through the triangulation of imperialist Japan, nationalist China, and colonial Taiwan, Ching demonstrates the irreducible tension and contradiction inherent in the formations and transformations of colonial identities. Throughout the colonial period, Taiwanese elites imagined and constructed China as a discursive space where various forms of cultural identification and national affiliation were projected. Successfully bridging history and literary studies, this bold and imaginative book rethinks the history of Japanese rule in Taiwan by radically expanding its approach to colonial discourses. "" #2. Taiwan, Yes! "Taiwan not a `laughing stock' in the world's eyes", by Su Ching-lun 蘇經綸; Thursday, Nov 10, 2005,Page 8: http://tinyurl.com/73rme "" As a second-generation Mainlander, I was taught by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) to be patriotic and proud of the fact I was Chinese. However, as a result of the democratization of Taiwan and my experience of studying overseas, I now have a totally different view of China. "" "" I was once shocked when a Chinese friend told me that "the Chinese are too slavish to adapt to a democratic system." What stunned me was not his view on the Chinese people, but the fact that he no longer believed that I -- being from Taiwan -- was "Chinese." His sentiments underline the absurdity of China's ongoing attempts to marginalize Taiwan. ""
