Ming-cheng M. Lo is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Davis.

"Lo's study of Japanese rule in Taiwan illuminates the ways in which the Japanese fostered the development of modern Western medicine and is crucial for a broader understanding of colonialization. Lo blends insights from social movement theory, ethnic studies and critical theory to explore the 'hybid identities' among Taiwanese physicians hemmed in by scientific colonialism."-Richard Madsen, author of China's Catholics: Tragedy and Hope in an Emerging Civil Society
