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 ER -
