Book Synopsis Colonial Taiwan by : Pei-yin Lin

Download or read book Colonial Taiwan written by Pei-yin Lin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a thorough and thought-provoking study on the impact of Japanese colonialism on Taiwan’s literary production from the 1920s to 1945. It redresses the previous nationalist and Japan-centric interpretations of works from Taiwan’s Japanese period, and eschews a colonizer/colonized dichotomy. Through a highly sensitive textual analysis and contextual reading, this chronologically structured book paints a multi-layered picture of colonial Taiwan’s literature, particularly its multi-styled articulations of identities and diverse visions of modernity. By engaging critically with current scholarship, Lin has written with great sentiment the most complete history of the colonial Taiwanese literary development in English.
