Place, Identity, and National Imagination in Post-war Taiwan - Routledge Research on Taiwan Series 1º edição
Bi-yu Chang
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 naturalised its political control, territorialised the island, and created a nationalist geography. In so doing, it examines how, why, and to what extent power is exercised through the place-making process, and considers the relationship between official versions of ?ROC geography?, and the islanders? shifting perceptions of the ?nation?. In turn, 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.
With a diverse selection of case studies including cartographical development, geography education, territorial declaration and urban planning, this book will have a broad appeal across Taiwan studies, geography, cultural studies, history and politics.
