Böcker av A-Chin Hsiau

In recent decades Taiwan has increasingly come to see itself as a modern nation-state. A-chin Hsiau traces the origins of Taiwanese national identity to the 1970s, when a surge of domestic dissent and youth activism transformed society, politics, and culture in ways that continue to be felt.

Drawing on a wide range of Chinese historical and contemporary texts, this book addresses diverse subjects including nationalist literature; language ideology; the crafting of a national history and the impact of Japanese colonialism.
