The contributors explore the Taiwanese people's sense of who they are, attempting to discern how they identify themselves as individuals and as collectives and then try to determine the identity/roles individuals and groups construct for themselves. Ranging from the local essays to the national level and within the larger Chinese cultural/religious...

Taiwan's rapid socio-economic and political transformation has given rise to a gender-conscious middle class that is attempting to redefine the roles of women in society, to restructure relationship patterns, and to organize in groups outside the family unit. This book examines internal psychological processes and external societal processes as the feminist movement in Taiwan expands and new gender roles are explored.

This is a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan. It covers the major periods in the development of this small but powerful island province/nation. That history is as long and in many ways as dramatic as that of the United States, another pioneer culture. The chapters in the book are intended for the educated lay audience and for students from college to graduate level, as well as for historians of Asian and world history. Patterned after the multi-volume Cambridge History of China, this book has been planned from the ground up to be a comprehensive portrait of Taiwan from neolithic times to the...
