Bi-Yu Chang

Place, Identity, and National Imagination in Post-war Taiwan (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This interdisciplinary book explores the ever-present issue of identity in Taiwan from a spatial perspective and examines the ways in which the Kuomintang regime naturalized its political control, territorialized the island and created a nationalist geography. By addressing the relationship between the state and the imagined community, Bi-yu Chang establishes a dialogue between place and cultural identity to analyse the constant changing and shaping of Chinese and Taiwanese identity.
