Positioning Taiwan in a Global Context by Bi-Yu Chang
This book examines modern Taiwanese culture through the prism of global cultural interactions. Challenging the view of Taiwan as a product of transience and displacement, it highlights Taiwans subjectivity, viewing the island as a site of a global development that epitomizes both resistance and negotiation in the process of cultural flows."Showing how Taiwan is imagined in and outside Taiwan, this book covers topics ranging from food culture, tourist media, manga, migration life stories, to Taiwanese literature and cinemaAn interesting book about the multi-facets of Taiwan as a site of contesting discourses."
