Description

Explore the transformation of Taiwanese identity through the lens of local history and cultural movements. During the mid-1990s, Taiwan experienced a significant rise in writings and movements centered on the concept of the local. This book provides a detailed examination of the socio-historical conditions that allowed the discourse of local diversity to enter and influence Taiwan's public culture. By examining the ubiquitous terms 'place (difang)' and 'community (shequ),' this study offers a deep look into what it means to be Taiwanese. The text uses ethnographic methods and theoretical perspectives from anthropology, cultural studies, and cultural geography to explain how community identity functions within the nation. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in East Asian history, politics, and sociology, providing a clear understanding of how local diversity shapes national identity.
