Beschreibung:
This book draws on years of on-the-ground research to shed light on the consolidation of identity in Taiwan that will make peaceful unification with China a near impossibility. It traces the evolution of Taiwan's new form of nationalism and analyses how recent developments in China and Hong Kong have reinforced a desire among the Taiwanese to maintain their distinct identity. Acting as both a sequel and a rebuttal to earlier publications, it takes an intimate and anthropological look at Taiwan's youth and civil society, and applies this to traditional analyses of cross-strait politics.
