Politics of Difference in Taiwan: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Politics of Difference in Taiwan" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Taiwan has been hailed as a successful case of democratization. Compared with many other nations, the transition from authoritarian rule occurred in a rather orderly fashion. Group consciousness emerged as a reaction to the decades-long suppression of cultural diversity under martial law as different social groups competed fiercely to exert their political subjectivity.This volume is the first study to examine the politics of difference in Taiwan. It aims to go beyond ethnic identity as the sole concern for group boundary, to acknowledge the interests of other marginalized groups, and to look behind reified group boundaries in order to discover group differences as mediated social relations based on overlapping boundaries rather than exclusive opposition. In exploring the politics of difference among minority groups and the problems arising from their struggle over political recognition, the book challenges the assumptions that groups are ontologically given, that groups are internally homogenous, and that the particularistic identities have no overlap. The chapters offer a broad coverage of major social groups including ethnic minorities, recent migrants, gay and lesbian groups, and marginalized workers. They offer perspective analyses of the ongoing struggles by minority groups to overcome subordination.

Preface
Taiwan has been hailed as a successful case of democratization. Compared with many other nations, the transition from authoritarian rule occurred in a rather orderly fashion. There was no sudden collapse of the old regime, dramatic showdowns were few; there was no riot, no military crackdown, and social unrest was limited. During this process, one key issue stands out in academic and social debates, which is the question of identity. Group consciousness emerged as a reaction to the decades-long suppression of cultural differences under martial law. Different social groups competed fiercely to exert their political subjectivity. In particular, the contention between ethnic groups has caught the most attention because ethnic relation is not only linked to partisan politics but also to the sovereign status of Taiwan.
