E van N. D awley . Becoming Taiwanese
Becoming Taiwanese: Ethnogenesis in a Colonial City, 1880s–1950s explains how global, regional, and local forces produced a distinctive Taiwanese ethnic consciousness in the early twentieth century. It argues for the decisive impact of Japanese colonial rule (1895–1945), but also considers the first decade of the Guomindang’s reign (1945–55) as formative. While they contributed to the consolidation of Taiwanese ethnic identity, these two regimes …
Imperial Japan's Forever War, 1895-1945
Between 1894 and 1936, Imperial Japan fought several "small wars" against Tonghak Rebels, Taiwanese millenarians, Korean Righteous Armies, Germans in Shandong, Taiwan Indigenous Peoples, and "bandits" in Manchuria. Authoritative accounts of Japanese history ignore these wars, or sanitize them as "seizures," "cessions," or occasions for diplomatic maneuvers. The consigning the empire's "small wars" to footnotes (at best) has in turn promoted a vie…
‘‘They Have for the Coast Dwellers a Traditional Hatred’’
‘‘They Have for the Coast Dwellers a Traditional Hatred’’: Governing Igorots in Northern Luzon and Central Taiwan, 1895–1915 was published in The American Colonial State in the Philippines on page 217
A Cautionary Tale for Nation-Builders
This tightly argued institutional analysis of “statebuilding by imposition” in two colonial settings contends that Japan successfully built the machinery of a “high-scope” state in Taiwan while the United States largely failed in a similar effort in the Philippine Islands. Success, in this analysis, is measured by a colonial state’s ability to enforce rules evenly over the surface of governed terrain. Under predecessor “low-scope” states—the Qing…

The Affect of Difference
The Affect of Difference is a collection of essays offering a new perspective on the history of race and racial ideologies in modern East Asia. Contributors approach this subject through the exploration of everyday culture from a range of academic disciplines, each working to show how race was made visible and present as a potential means of identification. By analyzing artifacts from diverse media including travelogues, records of speech, photog…
Outcasts of Empire
Outcasts of Empire unveils the causes and consequences of capitalism’s failure to “batter down all Chinese walls” in modern Taiwan. Adopting micro- and macrohistorical perspectives, Paul D. Barclay argues that the interpreters, chiefs, and trading-post operators who mediated state-society relations on Taiwan’s “savage border” during successive Qing and Japanese regimes rose to prominence and faded to obscurity in concert with a series of “long ni…

Peddling Postcards and Selling Empire
Picture postcards were an important element of Japanese imperial propaganda, though they have yet to receive the scholarly attention they deserve. This paper argues that the Taiwan Government-General played an active role in the production and dissemination of picture postcards to propagate a particular view of life in the ‘Aborigine Territory’. To promote ethnic tourism in the wake of the bloody 1930 Wushe Uprising, and to construct Taiwan's maj…

Gaining Confidence and Friendship' in Aborigine Country
From the 1870s, agents of Japanese southward expansion recorded numerous instances of participation in alcohol‐centered exchanges in Taiwan's interior. For foreigners entering the camphor‐rich highlands of treaty‐port Taiwan, sharing cups and providing gifts of distilled spirits were prerequisites of trade and diplomacy. Following the annexation of Taiwan in 1895, Japanese officials feasted prospective Aborigine allies with liquor and food to sec…
A 'Curious and Grim Testimony to a Persistent Human Blindness
The North American wolf became extinct east of the Appalachians by 1800. To colonial legislators, uniform, colony-wide wolf bounties, as incentives to wolf-extermination, seemed the simplest solution to a perceived threat to livestock and European settlements. To local taxpayers, considerations of parsimony and fraud loomed just as large. This tension led to wolf extermination policies that were costly and often counterproductive. The bounty laws…
An Historian among the Anthropologists
An Historian among the Anthropologists
During the early years of Japanese colonial rule in Taiwan, anthropologists Ino Kanori and Torii Ryūzō investigated the racial status of the Taiwan Aborigines. They devised the first academically influential overviews of Austronesian people in Taiwan, employing tropes and methods then current in Victorian colonial ethnography. For most of the 20th century, Torii was considered a genuine anthropological pioneer, in contrast to Inō, a mere 'histori…
