Changing Taiwanese Identities: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Changing Taiwanese Identities" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The peoples of Taiwan have been influenced by many different cultures and migrations throughout the islands history. In the 20th and early 21st centuries especially it has been a stage for cultural and ethnic conflict, not least because of the arrival of mainland Chinese fleeing the Chinese Communist Revolution. The subsequent tensions between those who see Taiwan as a natural territory of China and those who would prefer to see it remain independent have brought to the fore questions of what it is to be Taiwanese.

This book addresses the question of how Taiwanese identities have changed after the Taiwanization process which began in the 1990s. It also examines the impact of this process on cross-strait relations between Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China after the return of the Kuomintang to power after 2008 and the Sunflower movement in 2014. The various contributors between them cover a range of topics including the waves of migration to Taiwan, changes of political regimes, generational differences and social movements. Taken as a whole, this book presents a nuanced picture of the patchwork of identities which exist in contemporary Taiwan.

Changing Taiwanese Identities
The peoples of Taiwan have been influenced by many different indigenous cultures as well as cultures from migrations during the past centuries of the islands history. In the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries there has been considerable conflict over who Taiwanese are. The Chinese who fled the Chinese Communist Revolution established a colonial regime over native Taiwanese. With democratization, this has placed identity issues central among political issues facing Taiwans voters and elites. Despite Chinese Communist claims to Taiwan, within the island these identity conflicts have ameliorated in recent years as more and more people identify as Taiwanese.
This book addresses the question of how Taiwanese identities have changed historically and since democratization began in the late 1980s. It also examines the impact of this process on cross-strait relations between Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China. The various contributors cover a range of topics including the waves of migration to Taiwan, changes of political regimes, generational differences, the media and social movements. Taken as a whole, this book presents a nuanced picture of the changing identities which exist in contemporary Taiwan.
