Politics and Cultural Nativism in 1970s Taiwan: Youth, Narrative, Nationalism
In recent decades Taiwan has increasingly come to see itself as a modern nation-state. A-chin Hsiau traces the origins of Taiwanese national identity to the 1970s, when a surge of domestic dissent and youth activism transformed society, politics, and culture in ways that continue to be felt
Narrating Taiwan out of the Chinese Empire: Rewriting Taiwan's History from a Taiwanese Perspective in the 1970s
The political control, cultural ideology, and exilic mentality that prevailed in postwar Taiwan under the authoritarian Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) was informed by a historical narrative based on a ‘Great China’ outlook embodied in the official historiography of Chinese imperial dynasties. In the 1970s, anti‐KMT young intellectuals of local Taiwanese background began to challenge this narrative by revisiting the history of Taiwanese anti‐colo…
A “generation in‐itself”: Authoritarian rule, exilic mentality, and the postwar generation of intellectuals in 1960s Taiwan
This essay analyzes why and how, compared with the sweeping student and youth movements in the United States, Europe, Latin American, Japan, and other places in the world in the 1960s, the postwar generation in Taiwan remained politically and socially passive.

The development of the paradigm over the past two decades is closely related to Taiwan's identi…

Language Ideology in Taiwan: The KMT's Language Policy, the Tai-yu Language Movement, and Ethnic Politics
Taiwan's political climate, which has been the single most important influence in the development of the island's local languages, has changed dramatically since the mid1980s. One of most important consequences of Taiwan's democratisation is the Tai-yu language movement, which aims to revive this major local language and which symbolises the recent, rapid growth of local identity awareness. The promoters of the movement reject the official defini…
