Taiwan’s Contemporary Indigenous Peoples cover

This edited volume provides a complete introduction to critical issues across the field of Indigenous peoples in contemporary Taiwan, from theoretical approaches to empirical analysis.

Seeking to inform wider audiences about Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples, this book brings together both leading and emerging scholars as part of an international collaborative research project, sharing broad specialisms on modern Indigenous issues in Taiwan. This is one of the first dedicated volumes in English to examine contemporary Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples from such a range of disciplinary angles, following four section themes: long-term perspectives, the arts, education, and politics. Chapters offer perspectives not only from academic researchers, but also from writers bearing rich practitioner and activist experience from within the Taiwanese Indigenous rights movement. Methods range from extensive fieldwork to Indigenous-directed film and literary analysis.

Taiwan's Contemporary Indigenous Peoples will prove a useful resource for students and scholars of Taiwan Studies, Indigenous Studies and Asia Pacific Studies, as well as educators designing future courses on Indigenous studies.

"Taiwan’s Contemporary Indigenous Peoples is a thorough examination of indigenous peoples in the country. This volume aptly speaks to the unique historical and multiethnic characteristics of the island>state in strong opposition to the one-dimensional, China-centric narrative within the island-state and across the Taiwan Strait. It is an enjoyable read that extends the horizon of Taiwan’s indigenous studies in response to the ongoing development of the field across the world. "

Chia-rong Wu, EATS Newletter: issue 19

"Taiwan’s Contemporary Indigenous Peoples deserves a place on the shelves of all teachers, students, and scholars of Indigenous Studies, in Taiwan and beyond."
