Becoming Taiwanese: Ethnogenesis in a Colonial City, 1880s to 1950s

by Evan N. Dawley

In contrast to the prevailing scholarly focus on Taiwan after 1987, Becoming Taiwanese examines the important first era in the history of Taiwanese identity construction during the early twentieth century, in the place that served as the crucible for the formation of new identities: the northern port city of Jilong (Keelung).
