"Taiwanization" in Taiwan's politics / J. Bruce Jacobs -- Why bother about school textbooks? An analysis of the origin of the disputes over Renshi Taiwan textbooks in 1997 / Fu-chang Wang -- Being/not being at home in the writing of Zhu Tianxin / Rosemary Haddon -- The indigenization of Taiwanese literature : historical narrative, strategic essentialism, and state violence / A-chin Hsiau -- Reading history through the built environment in Taiwan / Jeremy E. Taylor -- Indigenization discourse in Taiwanese Confucian revivalism / John Makeham -- The movement to indigenize the social sciences in Taiwan : origin and predicaments / Maukuei Chang -- Epilogue : Bentuhua--an endeavor for normalizing a would-be nation-state? / A-chin Hsiau.

Summary: The essays in this volume analyze what is arguably the single most important aspect of cultural and political change in Taiwan over the past quarter-century: the trend toward "indigenization" (bentubua). Focusing on the indigenization of politics and culture and its close connection with the identity politics of ethnicity and nationalism, Cultural, Ethnic, and Political Nationalism in Contemporary Taiwan is an attempt to map prominent contours of the indigenization paradigm as it has unfolded in Taiwan."--Jacket
