Comparatizing Taiwan

Comparatizing Taiwan examines Taiwan's many relationalities, material as well as symbolic, over a significant historical and geographical span, and views Taiwan in relation to other islands, cultures, or nations. Through an examination of socio-cultural phenomena in Taiwan, it situates Taiwan globally, comparatively, and relationally to bring out the richness of Taiwan as such, and offers a model for studying small nations elsewhere. This truly interdisciplinary book will be welcomed by students and scholars interested in Taiwan studies, Sinophone studies, comparative cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and literary studies.
